Premier gros item AP
With her first real AP damage spike, Zoe starts turning a landed E into a forced recall or a kill on fragile targets. This is when wall vision becomes more important than simple lane trading.
Screen-warping pick mage build: Zoe wins when she makes certain vision corridors or approach paths far too expensive to use. The build must therefore protect her poke quality, the threat of her burst, and enough safety for her to replay several attempts within one setup phase.
Zoe creates advantage before fights, not during them.
