Zoe vs Vex

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zoe is a poke mage who must leverage her long-range E and R+Q burst to pressure and deny Vex's passive fear trades.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Vex from using her fear windows effectively and avoid giving her safe scaling.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing E to set up high-range Q and R burst combos.
Punish Vex immediately after her passive fear is baited or fails to trigger.
Avoid using R at poor timings to prevent being vulnerable to Vex's burst and control.

Danger windows

Vex's passive fear creates dangerous all-in windows that Zoe must respect.
When Vex's R is up, she can reset and engage aggressively; avoid overextending.
Zoe is vulnerable after missing E or using R poorly, creating punish windows for Vex.

Early game

Use early waves to fish for E and punish Vex when she fails to trigger her passive fear.
Avoid extended trades if E is missed or on cooldown to prevent Vex from capitalizing with her burst.
Position to maximize R angles for Q poke while respecting Vex's fear timing.

Power spikes

Level 6 R unlocks extended poke angles and burst potential.
First completed AP burst item significantly increases kill threat.
Respect Vex's level 6 R engage and her passive fear for burst windows.

Win conditions

Deny Vex's passive fear by landing E and bursting with Q and R before she can respond.
Use superior poke range and angles to pressure and zone Vex off waves.
Exploit Vex's immobility outside R resets by punishing cooldowns and forcing short trades.

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