All
Step on Zyra's Seeds when it's safe to do so (they become vulnerable after 1.5 seconds) — each destroyed Seed prevents a potential plant, significantly reducing her damage and zone control.
Basic Lane Phase
Watch for Zyra to use her E (Grasping Roots), then engage within the 12-second cooldown window — without her root, she has no reliable way to stop engages and is extremely vulnerable.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Stay at the opposite side of the lane from Zyra — this makes it harder for her to land her Q and E skillshots on you, reducing her poke damage and plant spawning.
Basic Lane Phase
Keep at least medium distance from teammates when fighting against Zyra, especially in confined spaces — her E and R are AoE abilities that can CC multiple targets, potentially leading to devastating combos.
Team Fight
When you see Zyra cast her R (Stranglethorns), immediately move out of the marked area — her ultimate takes 2 seconds to trigger the knockup and enrages plants, giving you time to escape.
Team Fight Skirmish
Punish Zyra when she steps forward aggressively to poke — her lack of mobility makes her vulnerable when overextended, especially if she's used her E.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Avoid face-checking or moving through unwarded areas when Zyra is missing — her E has a long range (1100 units) and can easily catch out isolated targets, leading to her full combo.
Late Game
Consider early magic resistance through items or runes when facing Zyra — she deals consistent magic damage through her abilities and plants, making early resistance valuable.
Basic Lane Phase
Zyra is strongest at level 3 when she has access to both Q and E, and again at level 6 when she unlocks her ultimate.
Basic Lane Phase
Look for opportunities to focus Zyra before or during team fights — she's relatively squishy and has no escape abilities, making her a valuable target to eliminate.
