Zaahen Guide
Zaahen is a Conqueror bruiser who wins long fights. Every attack and every spell that lands stacks your passive and Conqueror, and once both are full your damage and your healing take over the fight. Your weakness is being kited before you are stacked, so the build is simple: Trinity Force for the damage, then items that keep you alive long enough to stack, Sundered Sky, Death's Dance, and a Guardian Angel that gives you a second revive on top of your passive. Full clear, gank with Q already charged, and fight where they cannot run from you.
Runes
Quick Tips
All phases
- •Magical Footwear is there because being kited is your one real weakness, the free boots let you finish Trinity Force first
- •Stay on Conqueror in Gold and below, Hail of Blades loses games there
Skill Priority
Early Game
Before 1st item
- •Your first clear should have you level 4 by 3:07, in Emerald and in Master alike
- •Clear top to bot
- •Start E, and put every E where the camp sits on the edge of your attack range, that is where the sweet spot lands
- •Full clear first and be on the crab by 2:50, ganks come after your camps are done
- •Walk into a gank with Q already charged: hit a ward or a minion with the first Q on the way in, the second Q waits long enough for you to walk up
- •Base the moment Sheen is affordable, two Long Swords are the fallback when you are short
First Back
Regular full clear & crab
Core Build Examples
Mid Game
1-3 items
- •Trinity Force is your first spike, take fights you were avoiding the moment it is done
- •In a fight, hit whoever is easiest to reach, usually their front line, while your passive and Conqueror stack, then go deeper once both are full
- •Before dragon or grubs, check that R and Flash are up, and let the objective go if they are not
- •After a won fight, take the objective or the tower and base, do not chase the leftovers
Situational
Late Game
4+ items
- •Guardian Angel on top of your passive is two revives, so you can start the fight their team has to spend everything to finish
