Track level 2 to hit double bomb plus (E) speed for stronger trades with your mid laner.

Use wave control to create bomb zones that punish Zoe's skillshot reliance early.

Power spikes

Coordinate with your mid laner to punish Zoe's missed (E) and force resets.
Use (R) to save key allies from Zoe's burst, enabling your team to win extended fights.
