Guide to Synergizing Zoe and Zilean

Tips for Playing as Zoe with Zilean

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 Zilean Will Play

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

How to Play with Zilean as Zoe in LoL

The Zoe Zilean synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Zilean, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Zoe sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zilean. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Zilean helps Zoe perform worse in competitive League games. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Zoe tries to synergize with Zilean, she gets a small increase in her complete damage dealt. This could indicate that Zilean helps provide cover for her to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Zoe is played together with Zilean on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Zilean.

Moreover, when Zoe plays with Zilean on the same side, she often receives a little more damage than when she plays alone. Receiving more damage may indicate that Zilean does a poor job of protecting Zoe in teamfights.

Is Zoe better when played alongside Zilean?

There is no perfect synergy for Zoe that will always be her #1 teammate. However, Zilean is a very typical companion for Zoe. By locking into the same side as Zoe, he lowers their win rate by -0.2% to 46.8%. This proves that there is a weak strategic relationship between Zoe and Zilean that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Zilean has a greater difficulty than Zoe. That means Zoe players must be cautious when arranging Zilean teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to play well with you.

Playing on the same side, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Combined, these champions can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by grouping Zoe and Zilean together, you probably will not be granting your side very much attack damage. We recommend you have other champions on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of the ability of your Zilean ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
