Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win most 2v2s through superior range and Zoe's E setup, though respect Karma's R+Q burst potential.
- Post-6 you dominate with R execute pressure and Zoe's enhanced pick potential with R+E combos.
Synergy & Trading
- Use your range advantage to auto-Q-auto when enemies step up, while Zoe provides E sleep setups for your W traps.
- Your best trades are auto-Q combos when Zoe lands E, allowing for free headshot procs.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain slow pushes to build minion advantages, using Q to poke and clear simultaneously.
- Your superior range lets you control wave state while threatening enemies who try to match your push.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught by Karma's R+Q poke in minion waves as it can chunk you heavily.
- Never waste W traps randomly - save them for Zoe's E setups or defensive positioning around objectives.
