Tips for Playing as Zilean with Zoe
Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.
Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.
You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.
Advice to Understand How Zoe Will Play
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.
