Zoe vs Akshan

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zoe is a poke mage who must leverage E for pick potential and use R+Q for extended burst range.
Pressure Akshan early to deny his short-range marksman bully style and prevent easy roams.

Trading pattern

Fish for E to land sleep, then follow up with Q and use R to reposition for maximum burst.
Punish Akshan immediately after he wastes or misses Akshan E, as his mobility and engage are compromised.
Avoid trading if E is on cooldown or missed, as Zoe is vulnerable to Akshan's short trades then.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Akshan's Akshan E is available to engage, as it enables his mobility and short trades.
Avoid overextending if Akshan's Akshan W camouflage is up, as he can roam or reposition unseen.
Zoe is vulnerable after missing E or using R poorly, making her punishable by Akshan's aggression.

Early game

Use E to catch Akshan off guard before he can engage with Akshan E.
Maintain distance to avoid Akshan's short-range autos and punish his forward Akshan E swings.
Keep wave control to limit Akshan's roam opportunities granted by Akshan W camouflage.

Power spikes

Zoe's level 6 R unlocks extended poke angles and burst potential.
Zoe's first completed AP burst item significantly increases kill threat.
Respect Akshan's level 2 power spike with Akshan Q plus Akshan E for early pressure and Akshan R at level 6 for kill potential.

Win conditions

Win lane by landing E sleep and bursting Akshan with Q and R from unexpected angles.
Deny Akshan's roam attempts by maintaining lane pressure and wave control.
Punish Akshan's missed Akshan E aggressively to snowball lane dominance and force him behind.

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