Playing as Zoe

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Lengthen your star's path

    Cast Paddle Star! (Q) behind you, then recast it toward your target: its damage grows with the distance the star travels.

  2. Poke from your Portal Jump

    Cast Portal Jump (R) to poke from closer: you can cast your spells from there, and you blink back to your starting position 1 second later.

  3. Pick up spell shards

    Pick up the shards enemies drop after using a summoner spell or an item active: Spell Thief (W) lets you cast that spell or item once.

  4. Sleep, then wake them with a big hit

    Put your target to sleep with Sleepy Trouble Bubble (E), then wake them with your biggest hit, a long-range Paddle Star! (Q): the hit that wakes them deals double damage.

Playing against Ahri

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Keep minions between you and her: Charm (E) stops on the first enemy hit, and without it her burst lands far less often.

  2. Dodge the return of her orb

    If you can only dodge one pass of Orb of Deception (Q), dodge the return: it deals true damage, which your resistances don't reduce.

  3. Play hard when her R is down

    Play hard once she has used the dashes of Spirit Rush (R): she has nothing left to escape with, and its cooldown is 140 to 100 seconds.

  4. Group up when she roams

    When she roams, avoid walking through the jungle alone: Charm (E) then Spirit Rush (R) let her catch an isolated target by surprise.
