Azir vs Zoe

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable wave control to safely farm toward your first mage DPS item spike.
Use soldier placement to poke only when (E) is down or missed.
Maintain medium lane pressure to avoid giving Zoe free all-in windows.

Trading pattern

Place soldiers with (W) and poke with (Q) while keeping distance; avoid aggressive (E) use.
Punish Zoe's missed (E) by stepping forward with soldiers for poke trades.
Save (R) to disengage or punish Zoe's all-in attempts after she commits with (E) and (R).

Danger windows

Beware (E) sleep setup enabling her burst combo; avoid overextending during this.
Avoid committing (E) or wasting (R) before level 6; mobility and disengage are limited.
Recognize Zoe's reduced threat when (E) is missed or on cooldown; use these windows to trade.

Early game

Hold wave near your side to farm and avoid extended fights before soldiers threaten.
Respect Zoe's early poke and fish for her (E) to punish cooldowns.
Use (Q) and (W) to poke only after Zoe misses (E) or it is on cooldown.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks major defensive and pick potential; track availability for plays.
First completed mage DPS item strengthens soldier damage, enabling more confident trades.
Respect Zoe's level 6 (R) and first AP burst item to avoid losing trades.

Win conditions

Survive early poke by farming under controlled waves and punishing missed (E) with soldier poke.
Use (R) defensively to prevent Zoe's all-in combos and maintain spacing.
Scale into mid/late game where soldier DPS and (R) control outlast Zoe in fights and objectives.

Tip: For Azir vs Zoe, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
