Learn how to Zoe counter with these essential tips.

All
Stay behind minions to block Zoe's E (Sleepy Trouble Bubble), but away from the minion wave when she casts Q (Paddle Star) — her E stops at the first target hit, while her Q deals AOE damage around impact.
Basic Lane Phase
Attack Zoe when she returns from her R (Portal Jump) — she always goes back to her original position and cannot cast spells or attack for 0.5 seconds after returning.
Skirmish Team Fight
Engage Zoe when her E (Sleepy Trouble Bubble) is on cooldown — this 16-12 second window removes her primary CC and burst setup tool.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Be extra careful when fighting near terrain — Zoe's E (Sleepy Trouble Bubble) can travel through walls, extending its range and making it harder to anticipate.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Play more cautiously once Zoe hits level 6 — her Q and E ranges effectively increase due to her R (Portal Jump), significantly raising her kill pressure.
Lane Phase
Check what spell Zoe has collected with her W (Spell Thief) — if it's an aggressive spell or Flash, expect her to look for a trade or engage.
Lane Phase Team Fight
Stay at the opposite side of the lane from Zoe — this makes it harder for her to land both her Q and E abilities effectively.
Lane Phase
Force all-in fights rather than extended poke exchanges — Zoe excels at long-range poke and pick potential but can struggle when enemies close the gap quickly.
Advanced Skirmish Team Fight
If you have Cleanse or Quicksilver Sash, use it during the drowsy effect of her E, not after falling asleep — this prevents the sleep entirely and the bonus true damage that would follow.
