How to beat Zoe

Common role: Mid

A burst mage who one-shots with a long-range sleepy bubble and stolen summoner spells.

What makes Zoe dangerous

Zoe fires a huge-damage skillshot (Q) that scales with distance, puts you to sleep with her E bubble (waking you for double damage), and steals summoner spells and item actives to reuse them. Her combo — sleep into a max-range Q — deletes squishies from off-screen. Her whole threat is landing the sleep bubble.

How to play against Zoe

• 1Dodge her E sleep bubble — it's a slow, bouncing skillshot and the setup for her one-shot. Stand behind minions and sidestep it; no sleep, no burst.
• 2If you get slept, stay near allies — her Q hits hardest from long range, and ally damage wakes you early. Don't be isolated when the bubble lands.
• 3Watch what summoner spell she stole (her W) — she can reuse a Flash, Ignite or item active. Play around it.
• 4She's immobile besides her E return-dash. Dive her or all-in when her sleep and Q are on cooldown.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Sleep bubble is a slow, dodgeable skillshot.
• ✓No burst without landing the sleep.
• ✓Immobile besides her E dash.
• ✓Squishy; magic resist and diving punish her.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Zoe's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  반짝반짝!

  스킬 사용 후 기본 공격 시 추가 마법 피해를 입힙니다.

• Q
  통통별

  조이가 별을 발사합니다. 별이 날아가는 도중에 방향을 바꿀 수 있으며, 별의 총 이동거리에 비례해 피해량이 증가합니다.

• W
  주문도둑

  적이 소환사 주문이나 사용 효과가 있는 아이템을 사용하면 주문 파편이 남고, 조이는 그 파편을 주워 해당 주문 및 효과를 사용할 수 있습니다. 또한 조이가 소환사 주문을 사용하면 미사일이 3개 생성되어 가장 가까운 적에게 날아갑니다.

  Strong: steals and reuses a summoner spell or item active (Flash, Ignite…). Weak: watch what she picked up and play around the reused spell.

• E
  헤롱헤롱쿨쿨방울

  대상을 졸음 상태에 빠지게 한 뒤 잠들게 합니다. 잠든 동안 대상의 마법 저항력이 감소됩니다. 잠든 뒤 처음으로 입는 피해는 두 배로 적용됩니다. (최대치 있음)

  Strong: a sleep bubble — the setup for her one-shot. Weak: a slow, bouncing skillshot; dodge it behind minions and there's no burst.

• R
  차원 넘기

  1초 동안 근처 위치로 순간적으로 이동한 뒤 다시 되돌아옵니다.
