Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Jeweled Gauntlet

    Prismatic

    Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.

    Why on Zoe

    Paddle Star! (Q) already lands as one large hit from long range, so a Critical Strike on it can burst a target down from far away.

  2. Eureka

    Prismatic

    Gain Ability Haste equal to 20% Ability Power.

    Why on Zoe

    You stack Ability Power on Zoe, so the Ability Haste lets you cast Paddle Star! (Q) and Sleepy Trouble Bubble (E) more often, triggering More Sparkles! (Passive) more.

  3. ADAPt

    Silver

    Convert Bonus Attack Damage to Ability Power. Gain 10% Ability Power.

    Why on Zoe

    You rarely build Attack Damage on Zoe, so this mainly gives you 10% more Ability Power for Paddle Star! (Q) and Sleepy Trouble Bubble (E).
