Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillLevel 1 is even as Zoe has no all-in until she lands a bubble.
Level 2Even / skillLevel 2 stays a skill check between her one-shot poke and your dodging.
Level 3Even / skillLevel 3 remains even as the lane hinges entirely on whether her bubble connects.
Levels 4-5Even / skillLevels 4-5 are skill-dependent, a knife-edge of blocking her Q and eating her E with W.
Level 6LissandraAt level 6 you pull ahead because your chain-CC all-in beats her total lack of mobility.
First itemLissandraAt first item you keep the edge since your gap-close kills her before her burst combo lands.
Two+ itemsLissandraWith two-plus items you out-value her immobile pick threat with your teamfight R and lockdown.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-5 are a pure skill matchup and a dangerous one: Zoe does nothing until she lands a bubble, then does everything, so a single Sleepy Trouble Bubble into her charged E can take more than half your health. Block the Q with minions, use W to eat her poke, and farm safely rather than contesting angles she wants.
