i just bought zyra and i have no idea how to play her. I know what to max but dont know what to do. What is my burst combo? What do i do when i 1v1. I try to place my seeds in a middle of a 1v1 is that how i bought. What i mean is how do p place my plants to attack someone. Its so easy to dodge if you just place 2 seeds right next to someone and try to proc them? sorry if i sound confusing just need help with her burst laning etc
Sparrow the Bard2 votesI am sorry, but I am posting from my smurf account that does not have zyra, but I do play her a lot.
's burst is all in her timing. Mostly in the E+Ult combo rather than Q+seed combo.
The basics of is the both the Q and E have a, what I like to call, Appearance Time - The time in which it takes for a spell to show up and do damage. Because the Seeds have no cast time and no Appearance Time (or a very short one) the Basic Combos are:
1. Q then IMMEDIATELY press W on THE EXACT SAME SPOT as the Q was. By the time it comes up, it will come up with a plant and also do one attack.
2. E then IMMEDIATELY press W SLIGHTLY AHEAD of the DIRECTION of the E. The E takes time to travel (Appearance Time), but if you time it right the snare will hit and then the plant will attack, applying a slow.
Her burst is any combination of the above. Add Ult for more burst as needed.
Mid: Use combo 1 to harass the enemy laner while farming, use combo 2 to escape or engage (with jungler)
Support: Use Combo 1 either ON TOP OF the enemy ADC or BEHIND the Melee minions (Caster minions is better, but WAY risker). Use combo 2 to engage; use Ult to Disengage. (Combo 2 can be used to disengage as well)
FantasySniper1 votesPlace her seeds only after you have committed the spell, it prevents you from wasting them should you have missed your attack, and preserves them from harm since they are easily destroyed. The seeds will activate within a small area around your spells, so you don't need to directly land them on your seeds.
The plants target whoever is nearest upon activation, and are only capable of changing targets after the last projectile they launched has landed. They will choose whoever you are targeting with your AAs, assuming you're in range of the target.
Hex the FenFen1 votesHey there! I am a Zyra main and you can look if you want!
As mid lane Zyra it is all about mana conservation. You wanna grab Q first and harass when you can, but DO NOT spam it. Once you get all three skills your combo should be as follows: E,Q,W or E,W,Q,W, depending on how many buds you have or are willing to use. I would not go for your whole combo unless you land the snare.
As for builds go this is usually what I ALWAYS get on her in the correct order:
Liandry's Torment Sorc Boots Void Staff Deathcap Rylais Hourglass
The reason I go so much magic pen is because it really helps early and mid game to help you get a large boost in damage. It also greatly benefits your plants to do a LARGE amount of damage over time. I run 9 magic pen Marks and 9 armor runes, 9 magic resist runes and 3 ability power quints (i am pretty sure anyways will edit if wrong).
Zyra's damage will not fall off late game so be sure to spawn plants whenever you can
I also ALWAYS take flash and exhaust mid lane
