Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Zoe's superior range and poke with Q, but can start winning extended trades at level 3 when you have full combo available.
- Post-6 you win all-ins if you can land E engage, as your sustained damage and mobility outscales her burst rotation.
How to Trade
- Look for short Q3 tornado engages when Zoe uses Q aggressively, then immediately W to absorb her return damage and follow with E-Q combo.
- Avoid extended poke trades and focus on quick burst windows when her abilities are on cooldown.
Wave Control
- Push early waves to prevent Zoe from getting free poke while you CS, then look to freeze near your tower once you have kill pressure at 6.
- Her waveclear with Q is limited early, so you can control the wave state to set up favorable all-ins.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase Zoe through unwarded areas where she can land long-range Qs over walls, and avoid fighting in minion waves where her Q damage is reduced.
- Never engage when she has E available unless you can guarantee the kill, as the sleep will leave you vulnerable to jungle ganks.
