Zoe vs Ahri

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zoe is a poke mage who wants to pressure Ahri early and deny her calm scaling by threatening long-range E setups.
Use high lane pressure and early agency to force Ahri into defensive wave states, limiting her Ahri E opportunities.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing E to set up high damage Q poke and use R to reposition for safer angles.
Punish Ahri's missed Ahri E aggressively before she can use Ahri R to escape.
Avoid using R at bad timings to prevent being vulnerable to Ahri's burst and Ahri E.

Danger windows

Ahri is most dangerous when Ahri E is available and Ahri R is up for extended all-ins or escapes.
Avoid extended trades when Ahri's key cooldowns are ready or after you miss E, as Ahri can punish heavily.
Hard push and ping if Ahri roams after level 6 to punish her absence safely.

Early game

Use level 1-5 to fish for E and punish Ahri when she steps forward to farm or trade.
Avoid extended trades if E is missed, as Ahri's mobility and Ahri E can punish you.
Maintain wave control to prevent Ahri from safely using Ahri E or roaming after level 6.

Power spikes

Zoe's major spikes are level 6 for R and first completed AP burst item for extended poke and burst.
Respect Ahri's level 6 Ahri R spike and her first completed mage item which improve her pick and roam potential.

Win conditions

Win by landing E to chain into high damage Q poke and burst with R repositioning.
Deny Ahri calm scaling by forcing her to play defensively and punishing missed Ahri E cooldowns.
Use superior poke range and lane pressure to control wave and limit Ahri's roam and pick potential.

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