Vex vs Zoe

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vex is an anti-dash burst mage who wants to use her passive fear to control Zoe's mobility and win trades.
Pressure the lane early to deny Zoe safe angles for her Zoe E and prevent her from setting up poke safely.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing your passive fear to set up easy Q and E burst combos.
Punish Zoe immediately after she misses Zoe E or wastes Zoe R to reposition.
Avoid extended trades when your R is down, as you lose reset and mobility against Zoe's poke and burst.

Danger windows

Vulnerable when your passive fear is down or baited; Zoe can all-in with Zoe E + Q burst.
Without R reset, you are immobile and exposed to Zoe's poke and burst combos.
After Zoe lands Zoe E, expect high burst damage and be ready to use W shield or disengage.

Early game

Use your passive fear to interrupt Zoe's attempts to land Zoe E and punish her after a missed bubble.
Shield with W to absorb Zoe Q poke and look for electrocute procs after fear.
Avoid all-ins if your fear is baited or on cooldown since Zoe can burst you down if you miss your crowd control.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 6 R for engage and reset, and first completed AP burst item.
Respect Zoe's level 6 Zoe R for extended poke angles and burst potential.
Respect Zoe's first AP burst item spike to avoid lethal trades.

Win conditions

Use your passive fear to control Zoe's dashes and force short trades where you can proc electrocute.
Punish Zoe heavily after missed Zoe E or poorly timed Zoe R to gain lane dominance.
Reach level 6 and use R to engage or reset trades, snowballing your lane pressure and denying Zoe safe poke angles.

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