Zoe’s abilities in League of Legends
Passive: More Sparkles!
Zoe has a very simple passive considering the rest of her kit and the skill expression involved, but her first auto attack after using an ability becomes empowered, meaning it becomes a non-projectile and does bonus damage for 5 seconds.
Q: Paddle Star
Paddle Star is the main damage dealer in Zoe’s kit and has a very interesting mechanic. Zoe throws a star in the direction she wants on the first cast.
She can then recast the star into another target direction, with the damage it does upon impact increasing based on the range it has travelled in a straight line. This is also AOE damage so use this to wave clear in lane. Zoe has 1 second to use the second cast of Paddle Star before it dissipates, so make sure you’re quick.
W: Spell Thief
This is Zoe’s awesome and unique mechanic, and it doesn’t have an active cast until Zoe picks up a spell shard. She can get these from killing minions with balloons on them, then picking up the spell shard, or picking one up that an enemy champion has dropped. This could be any summoner spell or even active item.
When Zoe uses the spell shard, she gains bonus movement speed and three small bolts of energy that orbit her, which are targeted at enemies, prioritizing sleeping targets.
E: Sleepy Trouble Bubble
Zoe’s E is a sleep mechanic that makes enemies drowsy when they are hit by it. She throws a giant bubble, which travels further if it goes through terrain, so you can get some very interesting angles with it.
This is best used in conjunction with her Q, as she can reliably hit the max range Paddle Star on a sleeping target.
Once an enemy is asleep, the next hit of damage deals bonus true damage equal to the amount of damage dealt, meaning that Zoe can one shot someone with this lethal combination.
R: Portal Jump
Imagine using Flash, but you are teleported back to where you flashed from after a second. Well this is Portal Jump, and ability that has a 5 second cooldown at max rank, meaning that Zoe can jump forward, make them drowsy with her E, and get the kill after coming back with her Paddle Star.
The best use of this is to Portal Jump backward, throw your Paddle Star behind you, and once you return back to your original position, throw your Paddle Star forward. This almost doubles the distance you would get without using her ultimate in the combo, therefore dealing the maximum amount of damage.
When was Zoe released in League of Legends?
Zoe was released in Patch 7,23, right at the end of Season 7. This was on November 21, 2017, and was released alongside Cyber Pop Zoe, her release skin. Can you believe Zoe has been in League of Legends for nearly 6 years already? Because we can’t!
Where is Zoe from in League of Legends?

Zoe originates from Mount Targon in Targon, as do almost all of the cosmic beings in the League of Legends lore and backstory.
Zoe’s Age in League of Legends
