COMBOS:

Normal oneshot Combo:
Throw your Q star behind you and Throw it right IN THEIR FACE! Zoe‘s Q does more dmg when flying further.

The Ranged oneshot:
If you‘re a Zoe player and already know this, look below at the „Advanced combos. For the new ones; do you want to make a oneHIT? Throw your Q behind you and ult to a position. Then, you can use it to a far place while blinking back. You‘re safe, but where is the enemy carry? Ah wait, he‘s dead! You can also Q before and use The Portal after your Q flies, but that requires training and experience.

The Baiting Portal:
Ult in front of the enemy. Your enemy expects you to E him instantly and tries to dodge, but you‘re smart and use your E after he tries to dodge, so you hit him.

ADVANCED COMBOS:

Protobelt Combo:
After getting a protobelt from a Buffion (Minion which carries a ballon/ W minion), you can do the following: Just Q behind you and then use your ult. You can Q now and use your protobelt. It will cast your W projectiles for the Electrocute and you‘re getting more Q damage + the damage of your protobelt. The perfect oneshot!

Animation cancel oneshot Combo:

I have to say; I don’t know how that actually works. Well, I know it, but I don’t know how to use it correctly. The hitbar of Zoe‘s Q is a bit behind of the animation.
When you use your Q reuse it, you can instantly use your portal so your get into range while your Q is flying (nothing new). But if you do it in the right time, the animation will be out of range, but the hitbar of your Q flies further. What it looks like? The Q disappears, but you will hit the enemy and do a lot of damage.

Ignite combo:
Do the typical Q + R Combo, but with ignite. Your W will let the projectile fly, and when the enemy thinks he survives, the last small W attack will proc the Electrocute. That looks awesome!

DONT FORGET:

Your W gives you Movement speed. You can get out of a chase with your ignite. Sounds weird, but works!

You have a lot of damage, but you‘re immobile af. Try to position behind walls in Teamfights.

Zoe is never besten. Even if you‘re behind you will deal very much damage!

EARLY GAME:

You can play offensive. Try to hit your E. When you miss, go in safe area as fast as you can, when you hit, throw a Q behind you and then in their face!
If you get ganked, focus the jungler. He is very squishy in early and you are able to oneshot(!) him at level 3.
Never be too scared. After igniting the enemy on half life, you get W movement speed and you can finish all the HP with autos.
When you get ahead: try to do drakes and gank other lanes at 10:00 or maybe a bit early/late.
When you are behind: try to stay safe and farm. much of your Q damage comes from your Level!

MID GAME:

Try to do as much objectives and Turrets as you can.
After pushing the wave, just roam bot or toplane. Maybe you can also find the jungler too? If your lane is good pushed and one of the other lanes is losing, you can also swap sometimes, it depends on the enemy laner, for example: Don’t swap with your losing Mordekaiser if the enemy Toplaner is a garen. Garen has way too much HP.

LATE GAME:

You have to group now. Zoe‘s teamfight Potential is better than most of the players think. You can just Position behind a wall and oneshot the enemy ADC. You should go for Baron and elder too, because the AP you get is insanely high in Zoe.
If the enemies do baron or drake, don’t fear to steal it. Your Q has more damage than the enemy junglers smite.

Q IINFORMATION:

Your Q does more damage than the enemy smite. You can use that to secure objectives. Actually, your Q is able to onehit, even if your damage should be too low. If you have Void Staff, Ludens and Sorcerer Boots with your Sudden Impact, you have often more Magic pen than the enemy’s MR. That way, you get bonus damage on the enemy. At 20 more pen than MR, you will get +20% damage. That‘s sometimes more than 500 damage!

E INFORMATION:

Your E lets the enemy Sleep. If you‘re low and want to survive while being chased, just E behind you and get out of range. Then, Q the enemy fast and escape. The enemy is on half life now and has no chance to chase more. If you‘re higher than 30% HP, you‘re actually able to go for the kill.

W WITH REDEMPTION:

Buffions* have a chance to drop Redemption for your W. You can support other lanes, steel buffs or push your lane very fast, maybe finish of your low, recalling midlander too? You can win trades of other lanes with one spell while you‘re farming! Funny, right?
