Zilean is a champion in League of Legends.[1]

Abilities[]

Edit

Time in a Bottle

Time in a Bottle

Innate: Zilean generates Experience icon 2 / 3.5 / 5 / 6 / 12 (based on level) experience (does not count towards his own level up) every 5 seconds. Time in a Bottle is on cooldown when the game starts and becomes disabled when Zilean reaches level 18.

When he has enough to level up an allied Champion icon champion, he can select them to Channeling icon channel for 1.2 seconds after a 0.5-second cast time. The channel is Silence icon interrupted and disabled upon entering combat with enemy champions or taking damage from Turret icon turrets, placing it on a Cooldown icon 10-second cooldown. If Zilean interrupts it himself, it is placed on a 1-second cooldown, increased to 2 if he used a basic attack against a turret to do so.

A successful channel levels up the target and rewards Zilean the same amount of experience for himself as well.

Info
  • Zilean has a hidden passive that grants him 1 ability power for every enemy Volibear Volibear within 800 range of him.
    • Likewise, Volibear Volibear gains 1 armor for every nearby Zilean.
    • Neither Volibear Volibear nor Zilean need Sight icon sight of one another to gain these bonuses.
  • Time in a Bottle marks allied champions with two circles beneath them; the inner one represents how close they are to leveling up, turning golden when able to activate Time in a Bottle on them.
  • The target allied champion is not required to be out of combat to be leveled up by Time in a Bottle - only Zilean is.
  • Zilean only consumes the amount of Experience icon experience required to level up an allied champion. He retains the excess for later use.
  • The target allied champion is not required to be within range of Zilean for the channel to complete successfully, it will complete regardless of if they move to a far distance.
  • The channel from Time in a Bottle is not interrupted even if the allied champion suddenly levels up. However, no experience will be granted to either player, and the passive will not go on cooldown.
  • The following table refers for interactions while Zilean is Channeling icon channeling:

    Time Bomb

    Time Bomb

    Active: Zilean throws a ticking time bomb to the target location that grants Sight icon sight of its surroundings. The bomb will attach itself to units that move within the epicenter, or those hit directly, Reveal icon revealing them.

    After 3 seconds, or when the attached unit dies, the bomb explodes to deal magic damage to nearby enemies.

    Magic Damage:
    75 / 115 / 165 / 230 / 300 (+ 90% AP)

    The bomb detonates immediately if another bomb attaches itself to the same unit, Stun icon stunning nearby enemies for a duration.

    Stun Duration:
    1.1 / 1.2 / 1.3 / 1.4 / 1.5

    Info
    • Time Bombs landing directly on top of multiple units follow a priority order for whom to attach themselves to.
      1. Units already carrying a bomb
      2. Enemy champions
      3. Allied champions
      4. Enemy minions
      5. Allied minions
    • Time Bombs are not visible to enemies if they attach to an ally that is Guerrilla Warfare stealthed and vice versa.
    • When Time Bomb snaps onto an enemy, it deals 0 Wit's End item proc damage.
    • Zilean can detonate an enemy counterpart's Time Bomb by placing his own on the same unit (the first bomb still deals damage).
    • Time Bomb will be dispelled if the holder takes fatal damage and is saved by Revival icon resurrection before it explodes.
    • Time Bomb can deal damage to the enemy holder through Untargetable icon untargetablility.
    • Spell Shield Spell shield will prevent the application of Time Bomb and it's detonation damage as well as block the Stun icon stun, but not it's immediate detonation if the target already has a Time Bomb on them.

    Zilean OriginalSkin
    Original
    RP 585
    17.04.2009
    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.
