Zoe vs Vladimir

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zoe is a high-pressure poke mage who must deny Vladimir a calm scaling lane by using E angles and R+Q burst.
Use lane pressure to prevent Vladimir from safely farming and forcing him to use W defensively rather than for trades.

Trading pattern

Fish for E sleep bubbles to set up high-damage Q combos extended by R.
Punish Vladimir when his W is down since he becomes targetable and vulnerable.
Avoid trading when Vladimir's empowered Vladimir Q is ready or W is available to dodge damage.

Danger windows

Respect Vladimir's W cooldown; he is untargetable and hard to punish when it is up.
Avoid engaging when empowered Vladimir Q is ready as his short trades become threatening.
Vladimir R windows are dangerous; back off or play safe until it expires.

Early game

Abuse Zoe's range and E to poke Vladimir before he can safely use Vladimir Q sustain.
Avoid extended trades if E is missed or R is poorly timed to prevent counterpunish.
Force Vladimir to use W early to create cooldown windows for aggressive poke.

Power spikes

Zoe's major spikes: Level 6 R for extended poke angles and first AP burst item.
Vladimir's major spikes: Level 6 Vladimir R for burst and first AP item; respect these to avoid lethal trades.

Win conditions

Win lane by landing E sleeps and bursting Vladimir with R+Q before he can use W.
Deny Vladimir's W cooldown to force him into vulnerable trades and prevent safe sustain.
Maintain lane pressure to disrupt Vladimir's farm and delay his AP spikes and teamfight impact.

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