Jungling Zyra

Have any of you ever tried jungle Zyra? It's amazing; camp clear is good because the camps will always attack your plants first and not you so you don't take hits, ganking potential is insane because of all of Zyras cc (Slows, roots, knockups) not to mention, she can solo dragon at level 6(with blue) and I'm not sure if she can still solo baron on the new SR but on the old map at full build and level 18 she could solo baron and still have 2/3 of her health. That was done by placing four seeds, q, r, e and keep placing abilities and plants. What I build some people think is weird but it's amazing. I build in this order, jg item with 80ap and 20%cdr(doesn't matter what one with that enchantment/liandrys/sorcerers boots/morellonomicon/nashors/rabadons. The way I play her I don't build full ap, if I was playing in mid lane I'd simply replace the jungle item with a rylais. Max order is q, e, r, w by the way. Try it if you want and comment how it goes! You might gain a new favorite jungle. (:

Jungle Zyra has been a niche thing for a while. Now that sustain matters, her ability to not get smacked increases in importance. Her ganks are quite good and using a cheap mpen focused build has always been effective on her.

Her main problem is that a conventional opposing jungler can absolutely murder her when she's clearing.

But you don't have plants until Level 2.... Seems like getting there will leave her low on health.

Starting items, buy a machete and a few health pots, ask for a pretty hard leash (When the buff is down to about 600 health they can leave.) Pop a health pot while you're taking the buff. In addition always start blue or you won't be able to get through camps without needing to back because you're oom. Hope this helps :D

Yeah its good except for the invasion that will probably happen. Maybe pick her into Amumu or Rammus though

It doesn't matter too much if they take your red, however, if they invade your blue you NEED to get theirs, Zyra can't survive in the jungle without blue as a level 2. Wolves will stomp on her, especially new wolves.
