Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Zoe's superior range and mobility making it difficult to land your W-Q combo consistently.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R, but only if you can catch Zoe without her E available or force her into close range fights.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is W placement to zone Zoe from CS, then follow up with Q when she's forced to move predictably for last hits.
- Only commit to full W-Q-E-R combos when her E is on cooldown or when she's trapped against a wall.
Wave Control
- Focus on shoving waves with W to match Zoe's push and prevent her from roaming freely, while using your superior waveclear to maintain CS parity.
- Avoid freezing as it gives Zoe free poke opportunities and allows her to control the engagement range.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q trying to poke through minions as Zoe can easily sidestep while your ability is blocked by creeps.
- Never fight extended trades without your passive stacks as your damage output becomes significantly lower than Zoe's burst potential.
