This is the third time i've had this combo running up to Asol. On the single strip towards Asols fight so i can't choose not to fight Zed. Trying to play an Underlevelled Lux:I 2*.
Round 2, Dawn and Dusk'd with their Duplicate Legendary.

Couldn't even see anyone winning this with maxed 6*.

Zed is one of the only dangerous enemies. Hard mulligan for removal and similar. You should buy removal from shops if your deck doesn’t have any. Pick a support champion from a region with good removal cards even if you don’t care about the champion itself - this influences the cards you see in the shop and reinforcements.

Most encounters you can ignore what they’re doing and roll over them by building a scary board but Zed is faster and scarier in almost all cases here. You need to draft accordingly and mulligan accordingly to protect yourself against him and win after he runs out of gas. It’s quite doable if you plan ahead, and since “one or two big scary guys”is the theme of the adventure in general until asol you can take answers for such situations comfortably.

Which ones are the regions with good removal?

Shadow Isles has strong best hard removal. Ionia has stuns/recalls, often at fast speed. Those will be two of your best bets for dealing with single big targets in this kind of fight. Other regions also have good tools, but often aren't as good at neutralizing single big targets without an existing board-presence.
