Miss Fortune vs Zeri

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Miss Fortune wins short trades by punishing Zeri's last-hit attempts behind low-health minions with (Q) bounce.
Control wave states that create clean (Q) angles to force Zeri off CS and deny her scaling space.
Zeri scales better in extended fights and with wall access, so avoid long trades and force quick poke windows.

Trading pattern

Hit Zeri when she steps forward for last hits behind low-health minions using (Q) bounce, but only if enemy support is out of engage range.
Use (E) slow to secure safer (Q) angles or to lock Zeri for your support follow-up.
Avoid trading when no (Q) bounce angle exists or when (E) is available for a safe dash escape.

Danger windows

Respect (E) dash cooldown; she is vulnerable when it's down and can be punished aggressively.
Avoid standing near low-health minions when (Q) bounce angles favor Zeri's poke or when enemy support controls brush.
Do not channel (R) without allied CC or terrain control, as Zeri's mobility and support follow-up can interrupt you.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin the caster minions and set up (Q) bounce angles on Zeri's last hits.
Prioritize level 2 power spike to pressure Zeri before she gains mobility with (E).
Watch support positioning to take last-hit punish windows only if enemy support cannot immediately trade back.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) enables decisive teamfight presence; hold (R) for CC or terrain lockdown to maximize damage.
First completed damage item strengthens (Q) poke and burst, making it easier to force Zeri recalls or plate damage.
Use (E) slow combined with (Q) and (R) to capitalize on Zeri's lack of dash when (E) is down.

Win conditions

Convert (Q) poke damage into health leads that force Zeri off wave, enabling plate and dragon control.
Use (R) in grouped fights with support CC or choke points to maximize teamfight impact.
Crash waves after successful trades to deny Zeri safe farming and force recalls before item spikes.
