Zaahen Top build guide: runes, items and skill order
This Zaahen Top build covers League of Legends patch 16.20. Compare the selected runes, starting items and core purchases before the match, then adapt your later purchases to enemy damage and defenses. The source recommendations use the Grandmaster filter across all servers.
For Zaahen runes, this setup uses Conqueror with Resolve as the secondary path. Check the highlighted stat shards as well: they are part of the rune page, not extra items. Hover or tap a rune to read its effect before deciding whether it suits your matchup.
The displayed Zaahen skill order starts with Q and prioritizes Q → E → W. The level-by-level grid covers the first 15 levels supplied by the source. Follow that sequence as a reference while accounting for what your lane or team needs. Item win rates describe completed purchases and should be read alongside their game counts.
Which items should you build on Zaahen Top?
The most popular core items in this Zaahen Top build are Trinity Force → Stridebreaker → Death's Dance. Check starting items and boots separately, then compare later item options against the enemy team. This is a reference for patch 16.20, not a fixed purchase order for every match.
Which runes should you choose for Zaahen Top?
For the selected Grandmaster rank filter, the rune page uses Conqueror with Resolve. Review each rune tooltip and the selected stat shards before entering champion select.
How do you compare Zaahen builds by rank?
Use the rank selector to view a separate build and win rate for Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Master, Grandmaster or Challenger. Keep the same role when comparing. A small sample is less reliable, and a higher win rate alone does not prove a better build.
How this build works
Core purchases
The most popular core combination in the source is Trinity Force → Stridebreaker → Death's Dance. Treat it as a starting point: choose defensive or penetration options for the opponents you are facing.
Read the sample
The core combination has an observed win rate of 50.00% across 32 games. These are games that reached this purchase combination, not all games played by the champion. A completed build can appear stronger because winning players can afford more items.

A fallen god wielding both divine and profane power, Zaahen hunts his fellow Darkin while defying the corruption that threatens to consume him. Once willingly sealed within his glaive to stave off madness, he now walks free, noble in heart and vicious in purpose. Zaahen fights an eternal war within—but so long as he endures, he will rise above all who seek to bring Runeterra to ruin.
