ZILEAN

The Chronokeeper

SupportDWR50.3%

Once a powerful Icathian mage, Zilean became obsessed with the passage of time after witnessing his homeland's destruction by the Void. Unable to spare even a minute to grieve the catastrophic loss, he called upon ancient temporal magic to divine all possible outcomes. Having become functionally immortal, Zilean now drifts through the past, present, and future, bending and warping the flow of time around him, always searching for that elusive moment that will turn back the clock and undo Icathia's destruction.

Skills

TIME IN A BOTTLEPassive

Stores time as Experience at a rate of (20/50/80) XP per 5 seconds. Zilean can grant this Experience to the nearest allied champion when he has enough to complete their next level up by tapping the minion button. Doing so gives Zilean the same amount of Experience. Experience can only be imparted to allies who can level up. If Zilean takes damage or is crowd controlled while imparting Experience, the process will be interrupted. Cooldown: 90 seconds

TIME BOMBSkill 1

Tosses a Time Bomb to a target location. The bomb sticks to the first unit it hits, displaying a small area around it. After 3 seconds, it detonates, dealing 60 (+75% AP) magic damage to the target and nearby enemies. The bomb prioritizes champions and units that are already carrying a bomb. Early Detonation: Placing a second bomb on the same target detonates the first bomb, stunning enemies in the blast for 1.2 seconds. Charge: Stores up to 2 charges.

TWISTED TIMEFLOWSkill 2

Makes time flow faster for himself, applying Fleeting Time to himself and gaining a shield that absorbs 45 (+45% AP) damage. Zilean also grants Fleeting Time and an identical shield to the nearest allied champion for 3 seconds. Fleeting Time: Increases projectile speed by 60% and grants 25% (+6% AP) Movement Speed. While Zilean's Fleeting Time is active, his Basic Ability Haste is increased by 80%.

CHRONOSHIFTUltimate

Places a protective time rune that lasts 5 seconds on himself or an allied champion. If the rune bearer takes lethal damage during this time, they teleport back in time and become untargetable for 3 seconds before they are revived and healed for 600 (+200% AP) Health. If the rune bearer does not trigger the rune's revival effect, 10% of Chronoshift's cooldown will be refunded. While being revived, the target becomes untargetable and invulnerable but cannot take any actions.

The combos in the tables below, grouped by shape; not a ranking or a verdict. Each item goes to the family its stats are worth the most gold in, and a shape is how many of the 3 core items fall in each family. Effects (passives) are not counted, and items without stats are left out. Runes are grouped by keystone and the most common tree among the rest. The icons show the most common combo of each shape. A shape at 10% or more counts as a pattern; shapes under 3% get no card. Less common item families are families whose items appear in under 10% of the Chinese combos but do show up in overseas guides or streamer and pro builds. Their icons are separate item options seen in those sources, not one build. Families are listed by how many sources they appear in.

Assumptions

Read as a similar price

Effects without a price are read as the closest existing formula: vision as avoiding a gank death (half an escape tool's chance), blocking attacks or projectiles as a shield for the same time, untargetable time (invisibility, etc.) as crowd control on the enemy, range as the move speed of the approach distance saved, experience as gold (1 = 0.5 gold), and stolen or reduced enemy stats as stats (or defense) you gain.

Conditional bonus: 50%

Bonuses that depend on the target's or your own state (extra effects on burning enemies, detonating marks, "if already ..." bonuses) and effects tied to a position or situation (near turrets, in brush, moving toward a low-health ally) assume the condition holds 50% of the time, so they count at half. Effects triggered by your own death are assumed once per 90 seconds, like takedowns. Empowerments spent by another ability (such as Karma's Mantra) count the bonus once per that ability's cooldown.

Combat only: 50%

Effects that only work in combat or under a condition are counted as active half the time. The same rule applies to every rune and spell.

One fight per 90s

A 15-minute match is assumed to have 10 fights. Shields and damage blocks that work once per fight are counted as extra health in every fight.

Fight length: 10 s

Crowd control that stops the enemy (stun, charm, etc.) is treated as time you aren't being hit. A fight is assumed to last 10 s, so it counts as holding seconds ÷ 10 × median max health in extra health each fight. Uses are capped like shields: the fewer of cooldown uses and fights.

Champion median

Values that depend on the champion, such as health, use the median of all champions at level 1 and level 15.

Skill ranks from level

A champion's ability values depend on rank, so rank is derived from level. The ultimate ranks up at levels 5 / 9 / 13. Remaining points go to abilities 1 → 2 → 3 in turn (1 / 0 / 0 at level 1, 4 / 4 / 4 at level 15). Which ability to max first is a judgement call, so every champion uses the same order. Abilities with a different number of ranks (such as Jayce's 5) follow the same rule, raising the lowest-ranked ability one point at a time; an ability learned from level 1 starts at rank 1.

You and one ally

Heals and shields that also reach an ally are counted for two people: you and one ally.

Survival factor

Moving faster by some % is counted as that % more effective health, since speed lets you dodge and escape. Value = median max health × the speed gain × the health price.

Move speed % as flat

Move speed % is converted to flat move speed against the median base speed of 350, then priced at the flat rate.

Damage valued like healing

Damage to an enemy is valued like healing yourself the same amount, priced with the health regen rate.
