Runeterra Relics
Zoe banner
Targon region icon
Good (6.5/10)

At low investment levels, Zoe can struggle with her mana hungry playstyle, but becomes significantly stronger at higher investment levels, especially with 6* and with her relic. A frequent complaint is her weak starting deck and her sparse access to invoke, especially if she is unable to hit the enemy nexus due to enemy blockers.

Space Puppy C6
  • Echoing Spirit icon

    Gives additional copies of Zoe, giving additional opportunities to replay Zoe to invoke with Space Puppy.

  • Space Puppy!!! icon

    The core of this build. Gives access to an additional high value invoke whenever Zoe is played.

  • Loaded Dice icon

    Additional rerolls to look for Celestial cards.

Strategy

This focuses on using Zoe's C6 in combination with her relic to invoke and play extremely powerful reduced cost celestial cards. Normally, Zoe has no access to these cards until she levels up, so Space Puppy greatly accelerates her gameplay.

Big Zoe (Best for low stars)

Strategy

This fairly accessible build was used to defeat even the 10* Zoe adventure as low as 0*.

It relies on rerolling the first power node for the 'Bouncing Blades' power. Casting it on Zoe activates Fated, Augment, and Sentinels Plate, growing Zoe extremely quickly. Over the course of the adventure, don't spend any money at shops and don't buy any powers, only stack items on Zoe. Eventually, an extremely big Zoe with every keyword will overcome any challenge the game can throw at her.

Spellslinger
  • Arcane Comet icon

    The comet is Celestial, so it gets two free items.

  • Renewing Power icon

    Refunds the mana cost of Comet. Can be unreliable if Comet hits a cost reduction item however.

  • Archangel's Staff icon

    Gives extra mana to be able to consistently play the comet.

Strategy

This build focuses on using arcane comet to control the board and remove the biggest enemy threat each turn.

The Oath Engine
  • Oath of the Guardians icon

    Play: Shuffle 5 level 2 champions into your deck and double their stats, then draw one of them.

  • Star Gem icon

    Allied champions have +1|+1 and cost 2 less.

  • Star Gem icon

    Allied champions have +1|+1 and cost 2 less.

Strategy

Zoe is an excellent user of Oath of the Guardians because it gets around her small stats and subpar deck. This build capitalizes on her low cost.

Oath of the Guardians shuffles powerful champions into the deck, and the Star Gems drastically reduce their cost. This results in a board full of massive, heavily discounted champions with doubled stats, often securing early victories.

Other Relic Options
  • Makeshift Mayhem icon

    Creates three random cards, which can help Zoe level up quickly. Can be unreliable due to its random nature though.

  • Starforged Gauntlets icon

    Although Zoe will never reach the titanic threshold, the second effect of SFG lets level 2 champions show up in invokes. This is theoretically useful to get powerful champions whenever you invoke. In practice however, Zoe struggles to invoke enough to justify this relic choice. Additionally, level 2 champions do not show up in the invoke from Spacey Sketcher.
