How to Play This Matchup

Power Curve

Blitzcrank is strongest early game while Zilean peaks mid game. Play around your power window.

MR Priority

Both deal magic damage. An early Null-Magic Mantle or Mercury's Treads can swing the lane. Hexdrinker is also an option for AD champs.

Range Advantage

Zilean has range advantage. Blitzcrank should look for short trades when Zilean uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.

Exploit Blitzcrank's Weakness

Blitzcrank's main weakness: Hook is dodgeable, useless if behind, poke lanes. Play around this to maximize your advantage.

Blitzcrank Win Condition

One hook wins lane, Q+E+R burst combo, bush control

Zilean Win Condition

R revive on carry, double bomb stun, E speed/slow
