Guide to Synergizing Zoe and Katarina

Tips for Playing as Zoe with Katarina

Sleepy Trouble Bubble travels further over walls. Find a hiding spot to set up for a long distance kill.

Break Sleep with your biggest damage source, since enemies who are asleep take double damage.

Paddle Star deals more damage the further it has flown. Casting it behind yourself before redirecting can deal tons of damage.

Advice to Understand How Katarina Will Play

Picking up Daggers will significantly reduce Shunpo's cooldown.

Try waiting until the other team is distracted with fighting your team, and use Shunpo to teleport into the fray and unleash a devastating Death Lotus.

Using Shunpo on an allied Champion, Dagger, or minion can be a great escape tactic.

Is Zoe better when played alongside Katarina?

There is no ideal companion for Zoe that will 100% of the time be her #1 teammate. Yet, overall, Katarina is a relatively poor companion for Zoe. By locking into the same team as Zoe, she drops their win rate by -2.8% to 44.2%. This clearly indicates that there is a negative bond between Zoe and Katarina that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Katarina has a greater difficulty than Zoe. That means you must be very careful when enlisting Katarina teammates to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Playing cooperatively, Zoe players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. When paired, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by pairing Zoe and Katarina together, you may not be giving your side much utility. Plan to have other champs on your team that nullifies this relative hole in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Katarina ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
