Zoe vs Annie

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zoe is a poke mage with high early agency who wants to pressure Annie and deny her safe farming and pick opportunities.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Annie from setting up her burst combo and roaming effectively.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing E sleep, then use Q and R to maximize burst before Annie can retaliate.
Respect Annie's passive stun and R Tibbers; avoid extended trades when her stun is ready.
After missing E or using R poorly, play cautiously to avoid Annie's all-in burst with Q+W and stun proc.

Danger windows

Beware when Annie has her passive stun ready and R available for all-in engages.
Avoid extended trades when Annie's Q and W are off cooldown and her stun can proc.
After missing E or using R poorly, Zoe is vulnerable to Annie's burst and crowd control.

Early game

Use E to fish for sleeps and follow up with Q and R for long-range burst before Annie can stack her passive.
Punish Annie's limited range and mana by poking her out, forcing her to miss CS or waste W for waveclear.
Avoid using R at bad timings to keep escape and poke options open against Annie's burst.

Power spikes

Zoe's level 6 R unlocks extended poke angles and burst potential.
Zoe's first completed AP item significantly increases damage output.
Respect Annie's level 6 R power spike, which enables her strong pick potential and burst damage.

Win conditions

Win by landing E sleeps and bursting Annie before she can retaliate or engage with R.
Deny Annie safe farming by poking her out and forcing mana wastage on waveclear.
Use R to create impossible angles for Q poke, maintaining lane pressure and preventing Annie's picks.

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