Guide to Synergizing Zoe and Nautilus

Tips for Playing as Zoe with Nautilus

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 Understand How Nautilus Will Play

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.

Is Zoe better when played alongside Nautilus?

There is no universally accepted best ally for Zoe that will 100% of the time be her best teammate. Yet, overall, Nautilus is a very typical teammate for Zoe. By locking into the same team as Zoe, he lowers their win rate by -1.0% to 46.0%. This signals that there is only a small strategic relationship between Zoe and Nautilus that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Nautilus has a greater difficulty than Zoe. That means you should be cautious when enlisting Nautilus teammates to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to play well with you.

Working alongside, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Together, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by pairing Zoe and Nautilus together, you may not be giving your other teammates a lot of anti-tank damage dealing potential. Plan to bring other champions on your team that helps cover this relative hole in their abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Nautilus teammate, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
