With a normal construction, Zed will be paired with items that deal strong damage such as Blue Bow, Death Sword, Giant Slayer… Zed’s usual defensive equipment will be the Dark Cloak when it helps this unit. Avoid being hit by the opponent’s main force.
However, the players of the Arena of Truth in China have built an extremely unique Zed gameplay with defensive equipment. Specifically, Zed will use equipment such as Colossal Power, Night Cloak. On the 3rd item, the Alchemy Towel or the Piercing Mace will be the preferred items.

The biggest advantage of this build is that Zed will be very difficult to take down and make good use of the Laser Military Police effect. With Zed in a good fight while possessing defensive equipment, the planes of the Laser Military Police clan will deal a lot of damage. If there is a Senna holding a Statikk Electric Knife, this damage becomes even greater.

Next, this build does not require the player to own as many offensive items as before. You only need 1 Wooden Bow (combine Giant Power) and 1 BF Sword (take the Cloak of Darkness). Not depending on damage equipment (easily scrambled) will help players have more calculations in the general selection round.

Conclude
Basically, the gameplay of combining defensive equipment for Zed will take advantage of the large amount of damage from the 6 Laser Military Police mark. This gameplay does not require gamers to own a lot of attack equipment, so it can be used in most matches. If the player wants to “change the wind” with a squad of 6 Laser Military Police, they should apply the defense to Zed.
