Guide to Countering Zoe as Nautilus

Tips for Playing as Nautilus against Zoe

While ganking, consider aiming Dredge Line at nearby terrain and following it up with Riptide for a higher hit rate.

Riptide has a delayed blast timing on activation - you can use this while running away or when enemies are incoming to serve as a deterrent.

Advice to Win Against Zoe

Zoe's Paddle Star deals more damage the further it has flown.

Sleepy Trouble Bubble travels further over walls. Stop Zoe from hiding in fog of war to prevent her from setting the spell up.

Zoe must return to her starting point after casting Portal Jump, making her vulnerable to a counterattack.
