Old Saint Zilean, a festive skin for the time-warping mage Zilean, brings the holiday spirit to the Fields of Justice. With his jolly appearance and gift-giving theme, this skin is a perfect choice for spreading cheer during the winter season. Let's delve into the story behind Old Saint Zilean and explore all the delightful details of this costume.
Old Saint Zilean is dressed in a traditional Santa Claus outfit, complete with a red and white fur-trimmed coat, matching hat, and black boots. He carries a large sack filled with presents on his back, ready to deliver joy to all. The skin also features unique visual effects, such as snowflakes trailing behind Zilean as he moves and a festive recall animation where he disappears into a chimney.
As we know, Zilean is a time mage who has mastered the art of manipulating time itself. He hails from the ancient city of Urtistan, where he dedicated his life to unraveling the mysteries of time magic. However, his obsession with time led him to become detached from the world, and he found solace in the company of clocks and gears.
Despite his reclusive nature, Zilean's powers caught the attention of the League of Legends, an organization that brings together champions from various realms to compete in battles. Recognizing his potential, the League invited Zilean to join their ranks, where he could use his time-altering abilities to influence the outcome of matches.
In the game, Zilean is primarily played as a support or mid-lane mage. His unique ability, 'Time Warp,' allows him to manipulate time to either speed up an ally or slow down an enemy. This skill, combined with his ultimate ability, 'Chronoshift,' which can revive a fallen ally, makes Zilean a valuable asset to any team.
However, Zilean also has his weaknesses. He is relatively squishy and lacks mobility, making him vulnerable to assassins and champions with high burst damage. Additionally, his abilities require precise timing and positioning to be effective, making him a challenging champion to master.
Now, let's take a moment to appreciate the various appearances of Zilean in the League of Legends universe. From his classic skin, which showcases his scholarly appearance, to the futuristic 'Blood Moon Zilean' skin, there are plenty of options to suit every player's taste. Whether you prefer the whimsical charm of 'Old Saint Zilean' or the mysterious allure of 'Time Machine Zilean,' each skin offers a unique visual experience.
Overall, Zilean is a fascinating champion with a rich backstory and versatile gameplay. His time-manipulating abilities make him a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, while his unique appearance and skins add a touch of personality to his character.

Lore:
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.
Ally tips:
You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies. Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle. Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.
Enemy tips:
If you're able to match Zilean's speed, it can sometimes be beneficial to wait until his ultimate has faded before landing the killing blow.Zilean is fragile if a team focuses on him, but otherwise he's very difficult to kill. Commit to killing him as a team.
