Zoe vs Lux

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zoe is a poke mage who must use E to find pick angles and leverage her long-range burst with R + Q.
Apply lane pressure early to deny Lux safe scaling and prevent her from controlling the wave passively.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing E to set up high burst with Q and R repositioning.
Punish Lux when Lux Q is missed, as she is vulnerable to all-ins.
Respect Lux's Lux Q root and Lux W shield; avoid overcommitting if they are available.

Danger windows

Be cautious when E is missed or on cooldown, as Zoe becomes vulnerable to Lux's poke and root.
Avoid using R at poor timings that leave Zoe exposed to Lux Q root and follow-up damage.
Respect Lux's Lux Q root and Lux W shield combo as a key threat window.

Early game

Use early levels to fish for E and punish Lux if she recklessly uses Lux Q.
Maintain high lane pressure by threatening burst trades after landing E sleep.
Avoid extended trades if E is on cooldown or missed to prevent counterpunish.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 6 R for extended poke angles and first completed AP burst item.
Respect Lux's level 6 Lux R and first completed mage item for her damage burst.

Win conditions

Win by landing E sleep and bursting Lux down with R + Q from unexpected angles.
Deny Lux lane control by punishing missed Lux Q and forcing her into unfavorable trades.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Lux from safely scaling and using Lux R effectively.

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