Zeri vs Miss Fortune

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Zeri's ability to punish Miss Fortune's predictable CS paths with wall (W) poke.
Zeri wins extended trades post-level 6 using (R) mobility to kite, while Miss Fortune dominates short poke trades with (Q) bounce.
Zeri needs stable wave states near terrain to maximize (E) safety and avoid Miss Fortune's poke pressure early.

Trading pattern

Punish Miss Fortune when she last-hits low-health minions without enemy support threat, using (W) through walls.
Avoid trading when (E) is down or no wall is nearby, as (Q) and (E) slow punish forward movement.
Use (Q) shots carefully to poke from max range, forcing her to miss CS or take damage if she walks up.

Danger windows

(Q) bounce through low-health minions punishes Zeri standing behind the wave; avoid these positions.
Engage windows when Miss Fortune's support can lock targets for her (R) channel require Zeri to stay behind walls and maintain distance.
Avoid fighting without (E) available near open ground, as mobility loss makes you vulnerable to her poke and slows.

Early game

Use the first three waves to farm near walls and avoid low-health minions that enable (Q) bounce.
Delay stepping up for CS if enemy support controls brush or threat zone to avoid losing HP to (Q) poke.
Prioritize level 2 and 3 for access to (E) escape and (W) poke angles through terrain before engaging trades.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) gives Zeri extended fight potential and superior kiting; use it to turn prolonged trades in your favor.
First completed marksman item strengthens Zeri's poke and survivability, making it safer to contest CS and plates.
Two-item spike allows Zeri to dominate objective fights by kiting around terrain and sustaining DPS longer than Miss Fortune.

Win conditions

Convert poke and CS pressure into forced recalls by using (W) through walls to punish Miss Fortune's predictable paths.
Use wave crashes near terrain to secure plates and dragon control before (R) becomes a threat.
Scale into extended fights post-level 6 and item spikes, leveraging (R) mobility to kite and maximize DPS in teamfights.
