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 Janna

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't trade into her shield

    Avoid trading while her ally has Eye Of The Storm (E): the shield absorbs your damage and gives them AD.

  2. Engage twice

    Bait out Howling Gale (Q) or Monsoon (R) with a first engage, then re-engage right away: one has a 14-second cooldown, the other 130 to 100 seconds.

  3. Cancel her Monsoon heal

    If you have CC, save it for Monsoon (R): after the knockback, she heals her allies as long as she stands still, and interrupting her cancels the heal.
