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
  Brililim!

  O próximo ataque básico após Zoe conjurar uma habilidade causa Dano Mágico adicional.

• Q
  Estrela Desviada!

  Zoe dispara um projétil que pode ser redirecionado durante o percurso. Causa mais dano quanto maior for a distância percorrida em linha reta.

• W
  Roubo Arcano

  Zoe pode apanhar os vestígios das conjurações de Feitiço de Invocador ou de itens ativos do inimigo para que ela mesma os conjure. Sempre que ela conjura um Feitiço de Invocador, ela ganha 3 projéteis que são disparados contra o alvo mais próximo.

  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
  Bolha do Soninho

  Faz com que o alvo fique sonolento e depois adormeça. Enquanto estiver adormecido, a Resistência Mágica do alvo é reduzida. A primeira fonte de dano que interromper o sono é dobrada, até determinado limite.

  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
  Salto Dimensional

  Teleporta-se para uma posição próxima por 1s, depois se teleporta de volta.

Itemization

Zoe is AP burst with a sleep setup. Dodge her E bubble (no sleep, no kill), magic resist and a Banshee's blunt her, and dive her when her sleep/Q are down. Stand near allies when slept.
