Zoe Mid guide

Zoe mid is a burst mage built around a sleep-and-burst combo: land Sleepy Trouble Bubble (E) to put the target to sleep, follow with Paddle Star! (Q) as the doubled hit that breaks it, and let More Sparkles! (passive) add a free empowered auto to the rotation.

The build

Rune page: Electrocute, Sudden Impact, Grisly Mementos, and Relentless Hunter (Domination), with Transcendence and Nimbus Cloak (Sorcery). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens Paddle Star! (Q), then Sleepy Trouble Bubble (E), then Spell Thief (W), maxing Q first and E second. Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Luden's Echo, Lich Bane, and Shadowflame, with Dark Seal, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Zhonya's Hourglass as later options.

Ability mechanics

Sleepy Trouble Bubble (E) makes the target drowsy before putting them to sleep, cutting their Magic Resist while asleep, and the first source of damage that breaks the sleep is doubled up to a cap. Paddle Star! (Q) fires a redirectable missile that deals more damage the longer it flies in a straight line. Portal Jump (R) blinks Zoe to a nearby position for a second, then blinks her back, and More Sparkles! (passive) adds bonus magic damage to her next basic attack after any spell cast.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Katarina, Yasuo, Syndra, Viktor, Sylas. Best matchups: Locke, Ahri, Zed.
