Zoe vs LeBlanc

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zoe is a poke mage who must leverage her long-range E and R+Q burst to pressure LeBlanc and deny her clean all-in chains.
Apply lane pressure early to prevent LeBlanc from safely scaling and using her mobility to dominate trades.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing E to set up high damage Q and R+Q combos.
Punish LeBlanc heavily if she uses W to engage and misses, as she loses mobility and burst.
Respect LeBlanc's W cooldown and avoid all-ins when it's available to dodge her reposition and burst.

Danger windows

Be cautious when LeBlanc has W available to engage, as she can burst and reposition quickly.
Avoid trading when E is missed or on cooldown, as Zoe becomes vulnerable to LeBlanc's all-in.
LeBlanc's passive Mirror Image at low health can cause confusion; keep safe positioning to avoid surprise damage.

Early game

Use early levels to fish for E and punish LeBlanc if she mispositions or wastes her W engage.
Push the wave to force LeBlanc to farm under tower where her low waveclear is a liability.
Avoid extended trades if E is on cooldown or missed to prevent being punished by LeBlanc's burst.

Power spikes

Zoe's level 6 R unlocks extended poke angles and burst potential.
Zoe's first completed AP burst item increases kill threat significantly.
Respect LeBlanc's level 2 burst combo with Q+W or E and her level 6 LeBlanc R for sudden burst windows.

Win conditions

Control the wave to keep LeBlanc farming under tower and punish her low waveclear with poke.
Use E and R to find safe angles for burst trades and capitalize on LeBlanc's missed W engages.
Deny LeBlanc clean ability chains by forcing her to use mobility defensively, securing lane dominance and scaling.
