Lux vs Zoe

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Lux is a long-range artillery mage who must control lane with poke and binding threat to deny Zoe's angles for E.
Maintain lane pressure early to prevent Zoe from freely setting up her sleep bubble and extended Q poke.

Trading pattern

Poke with E and punish Zoe after she misses Zoe E by landing Q root into burst combo.
Avoid reckless Q usage since missing it leaves you vulnerable to Zoe's burst.
Use W shield proactively to mitigate Zoe's poke and survive extended trades.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Zoe's Zoe E is up and ready to catch you for burst.
Avoid all-ins if you miss Q or use it recklessly, as Zoe can punish with her burst.
Respect Zoe's R cooldown and positioning, as she can reposition to extend poke range or dodge your abilities.

Early game

Use E to poke and harass Zoe before she can land Zoe E.
Respect Zoe E cooldown to avoid getting caught and punished by her burst.
Keep Q ready to punish Zoe if she overextends or misses Zoe E.

Power spikes

Lux's major spikes are level 6 R and first completed mage item for burst potential.
Respect Zoe's level 6 R for her extended poke angles and burst threat.
Both champions spike on their first completed AP items; play cautiously around these timings.

Win conditions

Win lane by controlling space with E poke and landing Q root to set up R burst.
Deny Zoe's ability to safely land Zoe E by threatening her with binding and wave pressure.
Use W shield to survive Zoe's poke and maintain lane pressure to prevent her from scaling safely.

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