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 Pantheon

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his Shield Vault

    Take a trade when Shield Vault (W) is on cooldown: it's his only spell to leap onto you and stun you, on a 13 to 9 second cooldown.

  2. Go around his Aegis

    During Aegis Assault (E), go around him or wait it out: he ignores damage from the front, except from towers.

  3. Back before you get too low

    Back before your health gets too low against him: below a health threshold, Comet Spear (Q) deals much more damage.

  4. Ping when he leaves lane

    Ping your team as soon as he disappears from lane: Grand Starfall (R) lands him from long range, after a short delay that gives you time to get away.

  5. Drag the game out

    If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Pantheon looks to get ahead early through his trades and roams.
