Zoe vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zoe is a high-agency poke mage looking to pressure Aurelion Sol early and deny his calm scaling.
Use your superior early lane pressure to prevent Aurelion Sol from farming safely and reaching his mid-late game power spikes.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing E, then follow up quickly with Q and R for burst damage.
Avoid extended trades if E misses, as you become vulnerable to counterpoke.
Punish Aurelion Sol before he can use his E into Q poke combo effectively by engaging fast and disrupting his setup.

Danger windows

Be cautious after missing E or using R at poor timings, as you become vulnerable to counterattack.
Respect Aurelion Sol's upgraded R and Rylais timing when his roaming and teamfight presence become more threatening.
Punish Aurelion Sol before he has full kit access; after that, his poke and waveclear improve significantly.

Early game

Aggressively fish for E to catch Aurelion Sol before he has full kit access and punish his weak early game.
Use your R + Q to poke from unexpected angles and avoid his poke attempts with Aurelion Sol Q and W.
Keep lane pressure high to force Aurelion Sol to farm under tower and limit his roaming opportunities.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Zoe's level 6 R for extended poke angles and first completed AP burst item.
Respect Aurelion Sol's late-game spike after 75+ stacks upgrade on R and completion of Rylais.
Early game, Zoe's power spike allows her to pressure and punish Aurelion Sol's weaker kit before he scales.

Win conditions

Deny Aurelion Sol a passive farming lane by using E and R + Q to pressure and poke him out.
Use your early lane agency to snowball leads through picks or roams.
Maintain lane pressure to keep Aurelion Sol from scaling comfortably into his powerful late game.
