Guide to Countering Jax as Zoe

Tips for Playing as Zoe against Jax

Sleepy Trouble Bubble travels further over walls. Find a hiding spot to set up for a long distance kill.

Break Sleep with your biggest damage source, since enemies who are asleep take double damage.

Paddle Star deals more damage the further it has flown. Casting it behind yourself before redirecting can deal tons of damage.

Advice to Win Against Jax

Try to engage him in short bursts instead of going toe-to-toe with him. Preventing him from attacking consecutively drastically lowers his damage output.

Jax can dodge all incoming attacks for a very short amount of time and stuns enemies in melee range when it ends. Wait to strike him until after his dodge is finished.
