How to win lane as Diana against Zoe · 51.89% win rate over 1,295 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Diana | Diana's melee trading power and higher base stats let her win exchanges whenever Zoe's Sleepy Trouble Bubble misses. |
| Level 2 | Diana | Diana continues to punish Zoe's low-HP poke pattern as both approach mid levels. |
| Level 3 | Diana | Diana's growing combo damage outscales Zoe's poke-reliant kit once her full ability rotation is online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Diana | Diana punishes missed bubbles decisively as she nears her level 6 spike. |
| Level 6 | Diana | Moonfall's pull erases Zoe's Portal Jump disengage, turning any caught Zoe into a guaranteed kill. |
| First item | Diana | Diana's all-in remains dominant post-6 since Zoe has no answer to a closed gap without flash. |
| Two+ items | Diana | Diana's burst itemization lets her delete Zoe in one rotation before Zoe can land a second full combo. |
Levels 1-2 favor Diana as long as she respects the bubble — Zoe's poke is strong but her low base HP and lack of sustain mean Diana's melee trades win whenever the sleep misses, and Diana's higher base damage lets her punish Zoe's own overextensions for CS. Watch bubble cooldown and don't stand still in the wave.
