Irelia vs Zoe

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Irelia is a mobile all-in fighter who wants to use minion waves for Q resets and extended trades.
Pressure Zoe early to deny her calm poke and scaling by forcing cooldowns and wave control.

Trading pattern

Stack passive and look for E to mark and stun Zoe before committing with Q resets.
Avoid Qing forward without a reset path or E mark, as Zoe can punish you then.
Use R to mark Zoe and slow her, enabling extended all-ins when Zoe's Zoe E or Zoe R are on cooldown.

Danger windows

When Zoe's Zoe E is up and aimed well, she can set up lethal burst or pick attempts.
After missing E, Zoe is vulnerable and can be punished hard.
Avoid committing when you lack Q reset paths or E/R marks, as Zoe can counterattack.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike with Q and E to threaten stun and short trades.
Avoid fighting Zoe when Zoe's Zoe E is up; punish after Zoe E miss or cooldown.
Maintain minion waves that enable Q resets to keep trading threat high.

Power spikes

Level 2 with Q and E access is a strong early all-in spike.
Level 6 R unlocks stronger engage and chase potential.
First completed fighter item boosts damage and sustain in trades.

Win conditions

Use minion waves to create Q reset paths and force extended trades after landing E or R marks.
Punish Zoe's missed Zoe E by all-inning before she recovers cooldowns.
Deny Zoe safe scaling by pressuring her early and converting kills into side pressure or roams.

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