Abilities
Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.
1 Razor Shuriken
Zed and his shadows throw their shurikens. Each shuriken deals damage to every enemy hit.
2 Living Shadow
Passive: Zed gains energy whenever he and his shadows strike an enemy with the same ability. Energy can only be gained once per cast ability. Active: Zed's shadow dashes forward, remaining in place for a few seconds. Reactivating Living Shadow will cause Zed to switch positions with this shadow.
3 Shadow Slash
Zed and his shadows slash, dealing damage to nearby enemies.
ULTIMATE Death Mark
Zed becomes untargetable and dashes to an enemy champion, marking them. After a few seconds the mark triggers, repeating a portion of all the damage Zed dealt to the target while they were marked. Zed leaves a shadow behind and can reactive Death Mark to switch places with this shadow.
