Zoe vs Qiyana

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zoe is a poke mage with high early agency and lane pressure who must manage Qiyana's terrain-dependent burst threat.
Deny Qiyana access to walls, river, or brush to reduce her R threat and avoid giving her easy all-in windows.

Trading pattern

Fish for E to land E, then follow up with Q and R extended poke for burst.
Respect Qiyana's element choice and avoid trading near terrain when her R is up.
Punish Qiyana cooldowns, especially after missed Qiyana E or poor element setup.

Danger windows

When Qiyana has correct element for trade and fights near terrain or brush, she can threaten lethal all-ins.
Avoid extended trades if Qiyana's R is available near terrain or river.
Be cautious after using R at bad timings or missing E, as Zoe is vulnerable to Qiyana's burst.

Early game

Use high early agency to poke with E and Q from range before Qiyana hits level 3 power spike.
Avoid fighting near terrain or brush where Qiyana can use R and Qiyana R effectively.
Punish Qiyana if she uses Qiyana E dash without lethal threat or escape path.

Power spikes

Zoe's level 6 R unlocks extended poke angles and burst potential.
Zoe's first completed AP burst item enhances kill pressure.
Respect Qiyana's level 3 unlock of Q-W-E element setup and level 6 R terrain stun burst.

Win conditions

Win by landing E sleep and using R+Q for long-range burst before Qiyana can engage.
Control lane to keep Qiyana away from terrain and brush to limit her all-in threat.
Punish Qiyana's cooldowns and poor element choices to maintain lane dominance and pressure.

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