You should read the extensive Q&A on Azir, they go over how his soldiers work, what they work and don't work with, and why. The soldiers are multi-target spells that replace his auto attack (but don't count as an auto attack, just a multi-target spell). They are also not physical like a Zyra plant or Heimer turret, think of them like any other spell that is persistent, say, a damaging pool like Morgana's or Malzahar's W; can't touch or target them, but they can certainly hurt you!

Also, if you don't read through his Q&A, keep in mind that they can not attack on their own. Azir must stop and channel an auto attack, so they won't do anything while he's running.

Edit: Unfortunately I couldn't find the Q&A, the links I found for it were broken. But I do remember them saying Nashor's Tooth, even though the soldiers won't proc it's on-hit magic damage, is still a core item because of its stats.

I usually used Nashors on him as well. i was just wondering if it was worth getting banner of command since it have 20% cdr and it buffs minion damage, and since it isnt actually used by anyone at all. Maybe if it buffed turrets and plants it might be a good pick zyra and heim

i like to get it as supp zyra if i'm ahead. it lets the adc go somewhere else and you can push the lane like a carry
