Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose trades due to Xayah's superior burst and Nautilus hook threat, but post-6 you gain kill pressure with R setup for Zoe's combo.
- Your range advantage becomes more meaningful once you have R to counter-engage.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W to slow enemies for Zoe's Q setup, then auto-attack while they're slowed and unable to dodge her abilities effectively.
- Focus on extended trades where your Q stacks can maximize damage output.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early levels to establish range advantage and prevent Nautilus roams, but be ready to freeze when Zoe gets bubble opportunities.
- Your superior waveclear with W helps maintain priority.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught by Nautilus Q while positioning for W poke - his hook range matches your W range, making aggressive positioning extremely risky.
