Lucian vs Zoe

Confidence highUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use early level 2 power spike to trade aggressively before Zoe can safely poke.
Punish Zoe's reliance on landing (E) by stepping up after she misses it.
Avoid extended fights where Zoe's range and poke outscale your short burst.

Trading pattern

Trade quickly with passive double shots after support setup, then dash out before Zoe retaliates.
Use (Q) through minions to punish Zoe standing behind low-health CS.
Avoid using (E) forward without enemy cooldowns down to prevent being punished by (E) or (Q) from Zoe.

Danger windows

Respect (E) sleep bubble as it sets up her burst and poke.
Avoid overextending when (R) is available, as she can reposition for extended poke.
Be cautious after using (E) aggressively since Zoe can punish your cooldown window with (Q) or (E).

Early game

Contest level 2 with support to force short trades before Zoe stabilizes.
Thin waves to create small wave states that enable safe (E) dash trades.
Reset timing should follow winning trades to deny Zoe free poke or roam opportunities.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (E) dash and passive burst, enabling strong early trades.
First completed marksman item boosts burst trades to threaten kills and force recalls.
Level 6 (R) allows finishing off targets pushed out by earlier trades or vision pressure.

Win conditions

Use early lane pressure and support setup to deny Zoe free farm and force resets.
Convert short burst trades into lane priority to control mid and enable roams or objective plays.
Track (R) cooldown to time all-ins or defensive plays around her repositioning threat.

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