How Zoe works

Zoe is a 2-generation mythic Infantry built primarily as a frontline anchor. The kit centers on damage vulnerability, team Attack Speed buff, self healing, and damage over time.

Conquest skill 1

Zoe’s unpredictable attacks easily enweb foes, dealing Attack * 84% damage every 0.5s and amplifying damage taken by the target by 30% for 2s.

Conquest skill 2

Zoe requires pain to reach peak physical performance. She immediately regains 40% of max Health under 50% Health. Can only activate once per battle.

Conquest skill 3

Zoe inspires her fellow warriors to battle, boosting your heroes’ Attack Speed by 7%.

Zoe in Conquest

The hero has successful evidence through stage 435, which supports later-generation specialist use.

The current composite ranking weighs stage ceiling, trustworthy lower-power performance, role utility, position versatility, raw stats, and generation ceiling. Zoe is not ranked from raw win rate alone because heroes enter the dataset at different stages and are tested with different frequency.

The pattern is supported strongly enough to guide formation choices, while exact powers and private rows remain hidden.

Zoe in Arena

Preliminary Arena projection

The Arena rating is preliminary. It combines Conquest evidence, raw stats, generation age, targeting value, and utility such as damage vulnerability, team Attack Speed buff, self healing, and damage over time. A very small amount of direct Arena evidence exists, but it is not large enough to publish as a firm result.

In Arena, Zoe should be judged by whether the formation can use damage vulnerability, team Attack Speed buff, self healing, and damage over time before the hero is removed or controlled. Newer-generation raw stats matter more in direct PvP, but specialized older heroes can remain useful three or four generations later when their development and utility still justify the slot.

Best position for Zoe

The strongest trusted position in the current dataset is Front left. Trusted wins also appear from Front right.

  • Trusted winning positions: Front left and Front right.

The starting target map still applies: front left and back left pressure enemy front left, while front right, back middle, and back right pressure enemy front right. Retargeting then follows the closest valid target.

Zoe strengths and limitations

Main strengths

  • Damage vulnerability.
  • Team attack speed buff.
  • Self healing.
  • Damage over time.
  • Multi-hit pressure.
  • Conditional power.

Main limitations

  • Anti-heal can remove a large part of the kit’s value.
  • The strongest effect depends on a trigger, stack, mark, or timing condition.
  • Newer generations gain a raw-stat advantage, so continued use depends on development and specialized utility.

Who Zoe counters—and who counters Zoe

Strong or useful into

Helga — Direct counter Moderate evidence. Zoe has an observed advantage into Helga. Most often observed with Zoe in front left, initially pressuring the enemy front left.
Howard — Conditional counter Limited evidence. Zoe has an observed advantage into Howard. Most often observed with Zoe in front left, initially pressuring the enemy front left.
Amadeus — Conditional counter Limited evidence. Zoe has an observed advantage into Amadeus. Most often observed with Zoe in front left, initially pressuring the enemy front left.

Threats to watch

Helga — Conditional counter Moderate evidence. Helga has an observed advantage into Zoe. Most often observed with Helga in front right, initially pressuring the enemy front right.
team Attack Speed buff — Utility weakness Projected evidence. When relying on team Attack Speed buff, watch for enemy Attack Speed reduction, stun control, and disable control.
self healing — Utility weakness Projected evidence. When relying on self healing, watch for anti-heal and burst damage.

Named matchup conclusions remain position-dependent. A direct counter should be placed in the lane or slot that creates the observed interaction.
