Zilean ARAM Build 26.22

Zilean Item Build

For Zilean the number that matters is how fast Chronoshift comes back, since a second life ready every fight outweighs any single perfectly timed cast of it. Ability haste and Rewind chase that uptime, folding his cooldowns down so the revive, the slow, and the double Time Bomb all reload quicker. Ability power and mana just make each bomb he lobs into the packed bridge actually bite.

Best Zilean Runes

Dark Harvest fits how Zilean shapes the nonstop fight from behind, chipping the clumped team with bombs and rewinding his cooldowns to do it again. There is no room to dodge on the bridge, so his Time Bomb stun and Time Warp speed are always finding the packed group. Build the page around haste and mana so the bombs and the Chronoshift are ready every time the fight turns.

Zilean Skill Order

Chronoshift ranks at 6, 11 and 16 and scales off 250 percent ability power on the Abyss, so the revive stays relevant alongside the Time Bomb max that finishes at level 9. Rewind, cut to a 13 to 5 second cooldown here, picks up its points from 8 onward.

Zilean ARAM Abilities

Time In A Bottle is the quiet edge nobody drafts around, letting him bank experience and hand it to an ally to finish their level while pocketing the same amount himself. Time Warp cuts both ways as well, slowing an enemy just as readily as it shoves a teammate forward.
