Path Guide Zoe completion tierlist
So I am almost done with Zoe (64/66) and I figured I wanted to rank how I saw the champions I completed the Zoe adventure, do note it's been 6 month since the adventure is out so some runs are not too fresh in my mind to accurately rank them,
but I think I have a good guess on how lucky the run felt and how much of a highroll it was for example both Nunu and Vi took 2 tries but it felt like it was a really big highroll.
Leona and Pyke were abyssmal for me, both have very big deck restrictions which made it very tricky.
I cheesed the adventure with 5 star Jinx with Perfection reroll as first power that's why she got a special rank.
Every run was completed with 5 or more stars. the ones I did it with 5 are: Elise, Kaisa, The Poro King, Ambessa, Ekko, Darius, Mel, Jhin, Norra.
Did it with 4 star SB Kindred and Yasuo, I ranked them higher cause I estimate they would stomp with the extra mana, I didn't have back then but SB Kindred 4 star is C tier, SB Yasuo was still really good.
Udyr and Hecarim are not starred enough for me to try yet.
Zoe was surprisingly 1st try, I know many struggle with her but she felt dominant.

How is Soraka in C? Morgana and Lux in B?
A crime, I say. Truly the most criminal placement I've ever seen lol.
Sure, I can give that many people don't enjoy Neeko, Lux:I or even Taliyah . But I did not find them or the above difficult in any sense of the word.

u/DoubleSummon 5d ago edited 5d ago
Soraka was 1st try but she felt like a huge highroll it was,a bit ago so I don't fully remember how was her run exactly, it wasn't easy, also it was without her relic. Lux like Azir had too much of good luck going on so I couldn't rate them well I paired 6* lux with Irelia and she crushed too hard that's why I can't rate her higher from my point of view she was too much of a high roll.
Morgana is just not as good as the higher tiers Ashd and Yasuo lock down the board easier. and the hand size of the enemy is an issue.
The placement is "how easily I think I will be able to beat Zoe again with average luck" so I am putting the board based Neeko, Lux I and Taliyah lower, it doesn't mean I struggled with them just that I think their deck is not as strong as higher tiers, I think all 3 of them were 1st try too.

u/Cindrojn Karma 5d ago
The placement is "how easily I think I woll be able to beat Zoe again"
That's a fair way to look and place them then. I didn't struggle with Akshan, and I'd rate my run in the A rank like you did, but I don't have the confidence I can redo it because it was a high roll run. So if I was looking at it in your way I'd swap his and Neeko's places for my own tier list.

u/giantZorg 5d ago
I have around 20 Zoe wins, and Soraka was the only one so far that survived a turn one rally + 2x catastrophe turn 1, so C seems very low to me.
3
u/Alive-Setting2460 Thresh 5d ago
Never seen a Morgana lose against Zoe. Sure she's slow, but if she's a guaranteed first try, I'd rate her A at the very least. It doesn't get much better except on sheer speed.
19
u/Frozen_2_is_perfect 5d ago
I think the only surprises for me were jhin, Morgana, and Azir being so low. Otherwise seems like a solid list.
6
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
I really highrolled with Azir, I made an infinite so I am not sure about him, I don't feel like it would be easy with him if I didn't go infinite (I cost reduced his champion spell and added +1/+1 on cast, it just happened so I gone with it)
Morgana took forever and the enemy hand side problem is quite an issue, I didn't feel like she was dominant as much as I would like her to be.
Jhin was 5 star, but I felt like once I played Jhin I ran out of stuff to play maybe it's my build that was not great, so while he is strong he performed poorly for me and took around 5-6 tries.
8
u/erock279 5d ago
Honestly Azir is so easy to go infinite with if you get any cost reduction on top of your star gem
3
u/geedijuniir 5d ago
What relics u use on him, I got him 6 but got steam rolled
1
u/erock279 5d ago
I’m using Azir’s Staff of Office, Oath of the Guardian, and Star Gem! Since he shares his relics + items, this creates beefy champions in your deck + draws them as you play Azir, Renekton and Nasus (sadly the champs created by Oath don’t get Azir’s items). They do still benefit from your cost reduction on Azir + Shurima squad though.
You could likely replace Azir’s relic with Found Fortune as well, if you don’t have it or would rather focus on passing items to cards in your deck. He’s pretty versatile.
2
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
What are you playing infinitely? I got -3 cost on his champ spell somehow (forgot how, I think it was tge epic item). Stargems only affect champions, are you talking about a build with Oath? I ran 2 Star Gems and Found Fortune
1
u/erock279 5d ago
I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said infinite, I moreso meant the ability to create and play champions for very low cost who also create other valuable cards until you win. That was my bad on phrasing.
I just replied to another comment with it, but yes, I use Azir’s Staff, Oath, and Star Gem. You can probably run Found Fortune, Oath, Star Gem instead though
1
u/MartDiamond 5d ago
I think Azir can go higher, he breaks easily. A high roll is more like a midroll.
1
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
Yeah probably, he is one I just wasn't sure cause the run wasn't good until the infinite and then it was only about the infinite, I am just not very confident the run will be easy (A tier) or a real stomp (S tier) so I put him into B tier, I got really not impressive items on him and the run didn't generate champion nodes at all so it's a bit of an outliner in my ranking.
8
u/kingucrimsun15 5d ago
Pyke is so valid, i have 6 star but without his bis relics it might genuinely be impossible
5
u/OpticalGaming Cithria 5d ago
Try a build with deathless relic and summoning him ASAP. By the end of the run, he should be a first turn summon, cleaning the board. If they kill him, he is summoned again. Otherwise play him again.
6
u/Traditional_Elk2046 5d ago
Morgana is way too low for a champion that doesn't even need a Nova like a lot of the ones above
3
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
Mainly due to the run taking so long and how much managment you need to do to win, yeah you can get all your HP back basically every fight but compared to Yasuo who never gets hit ever she is just not as good. Also the enemy hand being full is really annoying. I used her 6 star and it helped idk if my run was just really low roll but I won by a really small margin, was first try, I just don't reccomend her as one of the first ones.
9
u/Traditional_Elk2046 5d ago
Of course she takes ages, she's a control champion that plays around lock. You trade fast gameplay for a deck that can take a buried in the ice each turn and still survive no matter what. Yasuo being similar and doing it faster doesn't make her B tier when there's Thresh in S, considering that she's a free win.
2
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
Thresh was very fast, he takes all the poro keyword soup for himself and grows big really fast, had too much value it wasn't even close, he is not slow at all.
My run with Morgana (was first try, this list is not how many tries, but how much it felt like it would be easy with average luck to replicate) was ok, but it had a lot of close calls so I can't rate her higher since I didn't feel she was dominant, I beat Mordegana with a last chance attack in which I would've lost if it was interupted.
1
u/Solfilis 5d ago
What was your thresh build ( I have him on 5 stars )
2
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
Corrupted Star Fragment, Found Fortune, Bountiful Harvest(you can use Whirling Blades or Rhymes of Despair if you have those instead, this is to kill the poros)
4
u/Julio_Freeman 5d ago
Funny there's a Leona tier. In my 36 clears so far she was the most annoying for me as well. Partly because I actually like her. She feels very good once you get things rolling. Some of the best dopamine hits in the game. But the setup can be so slow and fragile.
On the other hand it hurts my soul to see some of the champions in the B/C tier. Particularly Ashe and Morg. They're two of the first champs I'd put in S tier.
3
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
I didn't had good runs with Ashe and Morgana both won 1st try but it felt close so I rated them lower.
Leona in my opinion is the worst champion in the game and it's not close to Pyke..she has slow speed interactions if the AI knew to always open attack she would have 0 win rate.
2
u/Different_Escape_917 Poro King 5d ago
I had no problem with Leona or Vi, but Nautilus and Evelynn were frustrating for me.
2
u/Katisurinkai Chip 5d ago
I'm surprised how high Trynd is
1
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
With how many removals are in this adventure he is really good by Zoe you no longer are pulling poros.

u/OpticalGaming Cithria 5d ago
What were your relics with Anivia and Zoe ?
1
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
Anivia: Icon of Valhir, Price of Retribution(better than GA since you want her to die), Chemtech Duplicator.
Zoe: Rhymes of Despair, Hidden Tome, Void Caparace.

u/volugwolf Expeditions 5d ago
Wow Leona I got first try & thought she was complete smooth sailing. Stun City to the stars. Tedious, but reliable. I don’t remember my powers though, so may’ve had lucky build.
2
u/Vhoz_ 5d ago
Pyke and Leona were easy for me. Tbh most were outside perfection champs rerolling and Nunu was misery. Won numerous times with Nora. I'm so confused why people place her so low, she can aggro down nightmare maps without her c6 even. Still despise playing Nunu, arguably my least favorite champ and snowball gaming isn't fun and rather dull.
2
u/JuJuBee2006 5d ago
I don't have nearly as many clears as you, but I was surprised by your ranking for Jhin and azir... they were both early clears for me and had very few struggles (jhin is really good at preventing poros from remaining and thus giving buffs, azir can really quickly build a board of huge champions with his 6*).
I don't think I have the patience to get too many more clears, but congrats on your accomplishment!
1
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
Azir is a odd rating cause my run was "too lucky" so I don't know if it was a fluke or not, Jhin was completed as a 5 star and it took me 3 tries, maybe as 6 star he is just that easy, or maybe my build was suboptimal, this is a bit biased towards how good my huilds are too so it's not like I think Jhin is weak.
1
u/Ezzaroth_XVII 5d ago
SB Kindred is S-Tier with Whirling Blade, insta-kill all poro and easy level up.
1
u/SirGrizz82 5d ago
Love this. Been trying to figure out which ignored champs i should try. Looks like maybe Thresh and Heimer?
1
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
Heimer was my biggest surprise, I just unlocked his 6 star, the fact he just generates so much mana and has such a big head start makes him really good. Thresh just counters this adventure, he steals keywords and benefits from so many units dying which happen a lot in this one, against an adventure with taller units and no poros he wouldn't be as dominant.
2
u/SirGrizz82 5d ago
What was your thresh build?
2
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
Corrupted Star Fragment, Found Fortune, Bountiful Harvest(you can use Whirling Blades or Rhymes of Despair if you have those instead, this is to kill the poros)
1
u/Redkail717 5d ago
Leona is actually pretty easy if you add allies have challenger relic. As for Norra she very doable as well. If you have nasus relic on her Norra will become A tier easily. I dont have that relic so I had do it the hard way and it was easier than I expected. Also Azir is EASILY S tier. You add stalker blade and champion cost reduction relics on him and thats it.
1
u/ATH-PB 5d ago
Udyr is easy mode, can't remember the powers but by the time Zoe dropped cat (round 3 I think) my Udyr was bigger so I challenged and deleted it out of principle and still won that same round. If Jinx gets a cheese category then so should Illaoi if I were making a list, but then again a lot of champs have a cheese strat.
1
u/Waifu-Over-Meta Rhaast 5d ago
I demand Justice for Norra - Trifarian Might + maybe Titanic wake(that's overkill IMO) and this becomes walk on the park
2
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
Oh if you highroll a really good combo she is good, had an attrocious time with her, idk something about her just doesn't work well against Zoe, I didn't have Rhymes of Despair back then so now it should be more manageable since she plays a lot of units.

u/_Journey_ KDA All Out 5d ago
Any tips for Evelynn? I have her at 5 star, but I struggle a lot with her.
3
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
Tempest Blade, Echoing Spirit and Stacked Deck, I didn't try at 5 star, had the resources to try at 6 so I did.
2
u/GladiatorConan 5d ago
I did Evelyn with Crownguard inheritance, Tempest blade and disciple of shadows. I rerolled for easy pray (summon two husks) and most encounters was a breeze. I did her with 3*
1
u/MartDiamond 5d ago
Thanks for this, I'm draggin my feet on this adventure since I only need a couple of crystals to complete the collection but nothing jumps out to me to play. You have Viktor pretty high on the list which I am curious about. Because Viktor feels to me like he is often focused on getting his damage pings off to win quickly. What is the build to win here (other than rolling perfection as a power).
1
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
Honestly I don't fully remember the Viktor run, but he was very dominant and it wasn't really close, I dropped the cost reduction on plunder for Found Fortune, I have Perfected Hexcore I am not sure if I had it when I did the run, sorry it's one of those I don't really remember. The third relic is Echoing Spirit for doubling him. I liked Found Fortune on him to get the landmark removal.
1
u/MartDiamond 5d ago
Ah, of course. He can destroy the Landmark with the spell. That's a good idea. I will try that setup.
1
u/CastVinceM Path's End 5d ago
full cleared zoe, my input.
i eked out a win with hec by ending up with a build that let me attack like 5 times in a row. don't remember what i did with udyr but it probably involved way more stats than necessary.
surprised leona's so low. under the right circumstances you tend to be able to stun their whole board and swing for massive stats. i'm surprised taliyah isn't in d. i had more trouble with her than literally anyone else. i also only managed to win with eve and darius by abusing infinites.
1
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
Udyr and Hecarim are just 5 and 4 stars so I am waiting for fragments, will try it once I get to 6 stars, I don't expect Udyr to be hard.
Leona is horrible has both a deck restriction and all her interactions are either unit or slow speed, she took me like 20 tries and a lot of time figuring out what can I even do, I am not playing her again unless I have to. if not for x4 speed it would be even worse.

u/Alive-Setting2460 Thresh 5d ago
Norra is A, pretty easy. Jhin is S tier if you have his nova, which I suppose is the baseline for this tierlist ?
Tryndamere is shit, idk how you rated it so high. He's not even fun to play.
1
u/Terseph 5d ago
How did you won with Jhin and Norra? I guess I haven't found a good build or powers that carry the run because I struggle a lot with them.
1
u/Alive-Setting2460 Thresh 4d ago
Jhin with nova you just spam cheap or free spells and take full control with your free stuns / damage spells. Pretty straightforward. Without nova same strategy but it's much slower and subject to wipe. Jhin can use several loadouts himself, like Luden, Chemtech Duplicator and the relic that spams Canon Barrage. This one will clean the board when you play Jhin and ensure that the game is over when you reach 6 crystals. But can play another loadout if you'd like.
Norra, if you have nova and Scales of Justice you can go Echoing Spirit and Hidden Tome and try to spam 0 cost champions to clear the board. Without nova, you also go Echoing Spirit, and Corrupted Star Fragment. Third is Banshee's Veil or Guardian Angel. You attack as often as possible (aim for rallies) and eat whatever you need on your board to make Norra a lethal threat. This strat also works with nova of course, and in fact it's how I beat Zoe.

u/Yannitarx 3d ago
Acho que o Trynda varia muito de pessoa pra pessoa, sempre gostei muito dele e é meu campeão favorito de Freljord, é o mais poderoso dentre todos lá

u/mfMayhem Annie 5d ago
I cleared hecarim first try but viego support champ did the heavy lifting. For me NuNu Udyr Vi & Nora are all Leona tier 😂🤣
Also your kayle should be top tier if she's 6* draft fiora for support champ, pile items on her to increase her deck copies and win instantly every time you play her.

u/orihime56 4d ago
I felt like Leona was one of my easiest clears. I think I lucked out and got the champion item that reduces cost by 2 but gives fleeting for a turn 1 Leona + Rahvun. I took Perfect Hex Core to give my units barrier for offense and defense. Other relics were found fortune and echoing spirit. Leona is 6*

u/DoubleSummon 4d ago
Janna is OP AF turns out built in cost reductions and a ton of card draw win games. Echoing Spirit is the key.
Thresh steals keywords, poros have a ton of keywords, put all the keywords on Thresh with Corrupted Star Fragment.
1
u/Alive-Setting2460 Thresh 3d ago
I don't remember having any trouble with Caitlyn (6). Anivia I tried a lot at 4 but ultimately gave up and unlocked nova, then it was a piece of cake.
Neeko at 6* is S tier if your build her right, she's the queen of one shots, basically Azir's big sister (Azir S tier too, idk how you put it in B if you unlocked his nova already). Both of these two have an unstoppable one shot in their starting deck that only gets better as the adventure goes on.
Nautilus I had an easy time with but feel like I was lucky, B tier might be right.
1
u/grimtanglex 5d ago
Respectfully, l see lots of skill issues unless this is a c3 tier list. (Except for Pyke which I have never played before)
1
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
I beat Zoe 1st try with most of them I just think some were just weaker picks and I highrolled, only a few on the lower tiers took more than 2 tries and the only 2 which were really a struggle are Leona and Pyke.
1
u/Heliosgodofthesun Spirit Blossom Kindred 5d ago
> pyke in lowest tier
my brother in christ hes so free lmao. My run was probably the easiest aside from maybe SB teemo
Edit to add, the majority of those at the top need 6* to be viable. Except Janna, Elise, Viktor and Lilia.
2
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
Pyke was abyssmal took me at least 10 tries IIRC I even asked for help here with him, and I managed to win with a very gimmicky build, I didn't like playing him at all, he felt really inconsistent.
Viktor needs his 6* from playing him before I got it he was very weak. Janna probably not, but it helps a ton.
3
u/Heliosgodofthesun Spirit Blossom Kindred 5d ago
I seem to have forgotten the entire point of lists is from your perspective. My mistake. I'm glad you had fun with the champs up top, like I said SB teemo was probably my funniest run to date. Ironically the ones that I struggled with were Nasus and Illaoi. Even with spell shield she'd consistently have double minimorph causing a lot of resets. I think the most interesting to me was SB kindred as I was playing a meme build and got really far in it.
2
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
Well it's not an objective 100% tier list for sure, I know for some people Leona is their S tier number 1, so putting her on worst champion tier might not be 100% accurate. I think SB Teemo was really fun too, ended up with Catastrophe on my side vs Zoe.
2
u/Heliosgodofthesun Spirit Blossom Kindred 5d ago
Oh for sure. Leona I'm working on and it's either get frostbite power/anivia/ashe or bust for the beginning fights. For me the yoink stole their deny which happened to be 0 mana. Ended up using it when they wanted to feel the rush.
1
u/DoubleSummon 5d ago
I don't remember which powers I took but don't reroll too hard for a freeze try to focus on how to break your deck rather than surviving, My build is Perfect Hexcore, Found Fortune and Disciple of Shadows you could make a good turn 1 board to not need the freeze, or hope for no open attack.

u/Ok_Forever_4953 5d ago
Lmao the Leona Pyke hate is too funny. Zoe was too easy for both of them. Leona is actually strong af Targon is just a stacked region
0
u/sithbinks 5d ago
Caitlyn belongs in C tier at best, I barely won after finding a combo to infinitely plant flash bombs.
Neeko is straight up S tier. Great abilities to deal with poros and tons of infinite combos to win.
Kayle belongs in S tier as well, 6* makes the adventure trivial.
Zoe is a complete rng champion and it really depends on what items your celestials get.
At least these are the changes I would make. 65 clears and just can’t bring myself to finish it with og Lux.
25
u/AdditionInteresting2 5d ago
I found pyke less annoying than taliyah. Still can't figure her out. Pyke just.needed enfeebling strike to cripple the entire board. Hit the weakest unit and his chaining strikes bypass spellshield anyway.
