Zoe vs Zed

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zoe is a poke mage who must pressure Zed early to deny his all-in potential.
Use high lane pressure to prevent Zed from safely scaling into his burst windows.

Trading pattern

Fish for E to set up Q and R extended poke bursts.
Respect Zed's W+E combo by dodging Zed Q to avoid his guaranteed damage.
Punish Zed if he wastes W engage or misses his combo by following up with your E-Q burst.

Danger windows

Beware of Zed's full W+E+Q combo for burst trades.
Respect Zed R all-in as it can dodge your key abilities and finish you off.
Avoid using R at bad timings that leave you vulnerable to Zed's engage.

Early game

Exploit Zed's weakness levels 1-3 by aggressively fishing E and Q poke.
Avoid extended trades if E misses to prevent counter-engage from Zed's W+E combo.
Keep wave on your side to maintain control and punish Zed's early vulnerability.

Power spikes

Zoe spikes at level 6 with R for extended poke angles and first AP burst item.
Respect Zed's level 3 W-E-Q combo unlock and level 6 Zed R all-in.
Maintain pressure before Zed hits level 3 to capitalize on his early weakness.

Win conditions

Win by landing E to chain into Q and R poke from unexpected angles.
Deny Zed calm scaling by punishing his early levels and forcing him to play defensively.
Use your range and crowd control to control lane pressure and prevent his all-ins.

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