PLAYING ASZoe
  • Paddle Star deals more damage the further it has flown. Casting it behind yourself before redirecting can deal tons of damage.
  • Break Sleep with your biggest damage source, since enemies who are asleep take double damage.
  • Sleepy Trouble Bubble travels further over walls. Find a hiding spot to set up for a long distance kill.
PLAYING AGAINSTZoe
  • Zoe's Paddle Star deals more damage the further it has flown.
  • Zoe must return to her starting point after casting Portal Jump, making her vulnerable to a counterattack.
  • Sleepy Trouble Bubble travels further over walls. Stop Zoe from hiding in fog of war to prevent her from setting the spell up.

CROWD CONTROL

Sleepignores tenacityFROME Sleepy Trouble Bubble

Some of their lockdown (sleep) ignores tenacity, so you dodge it; you can't cleanse or Merc' through it.

Tap or hover a crowd-control type to see which ability it comes from.
