Zoe vs Aurora

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zoe is a poke mage with high early lane pressure aiming to control lane through E setups and extended Q range with R.
Pressure Aurora early to deny her scaling and force her to farm under threat due to her low range and dodgable E.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing E to set up high damage Q with R repositioning.
Avoid trading after missing E or using R poorly to prevent counterattacks.
Exploit Aurora's W cooldown window, as she loses her escape and mobility temporarily.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Aurora's W is available, as she can dodge skillshots and reposition.
Avoid overextending after missing E or using R at bad timings, as you become vulnerable.
Watch for Aurora's level 6 power spike when her burst and mobility increase.

Early game

Use E to fish for sleep and follow up with Q and R for burst before Aurora can engage.
Punish Aurora's long E animation by dodging and retaliating immediately.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Aurora from safely farming and looking for picks.

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 Aurora's level 6 R for her increased mobility and burst potential.

Win conditions

Control lane by landing E to enable Q+R burst combos and deny Aurora farm.
Punish Aurora's low range and long E animation by aggressive poke and wave pressure.
Use superior range and pick potential to snowball leads and pressure side lanes via roams.

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