Zhask works best with heroes that can lock down enemies so he can have more time to deal damage, like Belerick and Lolita.
Zhask is countered by agile or long range heroes, such as Pharsa and Cecilion, because they can quickly step out of range of his immobile Nightmaric Spawn.
Level up in this order when playing Zhask:
Hive Clones
Decimation
Nightmaric Spawn
Mind Eater
King of the Swarm who disrupts the balance of the universe.
Upon death, Zhask summons a frenzied Nightmaric Spawn on the spot, which gradually loses HP over time until death.
Zhask summons a Nightmaric Spawn that inherits 55% of his Attributes (HP, Hybrid Defense, and Magic Power). Nightmaric Spawn will automatically attack nearby enemies by firing a Death Ray at the target, dealing 55 (+20% extra Attack Speed) (+20% Magic Power) Magic Damage and slowing them by up to 30%. If Zhask is too far away from Nightmaric Spawn, it will disappear. Death Ray is considered as a Basic Attack but cannot Crit. Fusion Enhanced: The damage of Nightmaric Spawn is increased to 180%, and it can be repositioned.
Zhask fires a penetrating mental missile in the designated direction, dealing 300 (+100% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage. Afterward, Nightmaric Spawn will attack enemies hit by Mind Eater for 120 (+80% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage and stun them for 0.5s. Fusion Enhanced: Increases the damage dealt by Mind Eater by 540 (+180% Total Magic Power).
Zhask releases a swarm of Hive Clones in the targeted direction. The clones will explode and deal 55 (+18% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies on contact, reducing their Movement Speed by 80% for 1s. If Hive Clones find no target, they will burrow into the ground and ambush enemies passing by. Fusion Enhanced: Zhask releases several swarms of Hive Clones. Subsequent damage dealt to the same target decays to 20%.
Zhask selects a designated position to summon Nightmaric Spawn and fuses with it. Nightmaric Spawn can inherit 100% of his attributes and get extra of them. His skills are enhanced during the fusion period. Use Again: Zhask immediately gets off Nightmaric Spawn and loses enhancement.
Skill Order: Prioritise skills in this order — Skill 4 → Skill 1 → Skill 2 → Skill 3.

In teamfights, Zhask should start by summoning his Nightmaric Spawn in a suitable location and use his Ultimate to fuse with it, then unleash his enhanced 2nd and 3rd Skill to stun and damage enemies, and follow up with Basic Attacks. If the enemy tries to flee, use his enhanced 1st Skill to blink toward them.

In the laning phase, Zhask should start with his 1st Skill to summon a Nightmaric Spawn next to the enemy and follow up with his 2nd Skill to stun the target, then use his 3rd Skill for more damage.

Zhask and his Nightmaric Spawn excel with magic damage, making magic items the optimal choice. Begin with Glowing Wand. This provides a burn effect that synergizes with Zhasks multi-hit abilities, ensuring continuous damage over time. Follow this with the Divine Glaive which enhances your magical penetration, allowing your abilities to shred through enemy defenses. The Genius Wand further boosts this by reducing the targets magic defense with each hit, amplifying your overall damage potential.

Impure Rage
Since all of Zhasks skills scale with magic damage, opting for the Mage Emblem is the optimal choice. This emblem provides a boost to his magic power, cooldown reduction, and magic penetration. As for core talents, Impure Rage is the preferred option as it increases damage dealt by his skills and restores mana upon hitting enemies. This amplifies his damage output during the laning phase until he acquires one or two of his core items.
