How to beat Zyra

Common role: Support / Mid

A garden of death: plants, roots and a growing thicket ultimate.

What makes Zyra dangerous

Zyra litters the lane with seeds that grow into shooting or slowing plants, roots with a delayed tangle (E), pokes hard with Q, and her ultimate grows a huge thicket that knocks everyone airborne after a delay. Her plant DPS shreds anyone standing still.

How to play against Zyra

• 1Kill plants with one auto each or they out-DPS your trades.
• 2Walk OUT of her ult immediately — the knock-up comes on a delay.
• 3Her E is slow — sidestep it and the whole combo fails.
• 4Dive her: no escape, no peel, pure glass.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Complete glass cannon with zero mobility.
• ✓Plants die to single autos — discipline beats the garden.
• ✓Root and ult are delayed — movement counters both.
• ✓Weak when forced to move constantly (dive comps).

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Zyra's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  茨の楽園

  定期的に自身の周囲に種を発生させる。その周期はレベルに応じて速くなる。種の近くで「死華の棘」または「捕縛の根」を使用すると種は植物に成長し、自身の味方となって戦う。

  Strong: seeds spawn periodically and turn spells into plant turrets. Weak: seeds are visible and crushable by walking over them.

• Q
  死華の棘

  太いツルが地中に広がって鋭いトゲを生やし、範囲内の敵に魔法ダメージを与える。「死華の棘」を種の近くで使用すると、遠距離の敵を射撃する「棘吹草」に成長させる。

  Strong: lane poke that spawns shooting plants on seeds. Weak: a thin delayed rectangle — strafe it while crushing the seed.

• W
  狂い咲き

  最大60秒間持続する種を生やす。種の近くで「死華の棘」または「捕縛の根」を使用すると種は植物に成長し、味方として戦う。同時に複数の種を蓄えておくことが可能で、敵ユニットを倒すと「狂い咲き」のチャージ時間が短縮される。

  Strong: banked seeds fuel her plant army tempo. Weak: pure setup — the counterplay is stepping on them.

• E
  捕縛の根

  地中から伸びる巨大なツタが対象を絡めとり、ダメージを与え移動不能にする。「捕縛の根」を種の近くで使用すると「棘鞭草」に成長させ、近距離の敵を攻撃しダメージを与え、移動速度を低下させる。

  Strong: a long-range root that grows slowing vine plants. Weak: slow missile — the whole kill combo dies to one sidestep.

• R
  茨のゆりかご

  指定地点から茨を放射状に成長させて範囲内の敵にダメージを与え、茨が地中に戻る際に触れた敵をノックアップさせる。茨の範囲内の植物は怒り狂う。

  Strong: a huge delayed AoE knock-up that also enrages plants. Weak: ~2s of visible growth — just walk out of the thicket.

Itemization

Auto the plants, keep moving, dive her first in fights. MR blunts the poke war.
