Hi hi!

While I can't say if we do or don't have something in the works, I can tell you that since her update is now complete and on live, she's back in the eligible for a new skin bin.

Any suggestions?

I would like to see a Sorceress Zyra with magical spell effects and her pre-possession body.

From existing themes, I'd really love to have: -Blade Queen -Spiritfire -Order of the Lotus -Death Blossom -Elderwood -Mythic

Whatever it is, keep it sexy!

Just came up with this partial idea for Full Metal Zyra (more like the Rammus skin than Jayce). Zyra's plants would be mechanical; Thorn Spitter could be a missile turret similar to those found in Portal, and Vine Lasher could be a robotic arm.

I haven't given this enough thought yet to have a good idea what Zyra herself would look like, or what to do with seeds, but it's fairly easy to imagine her using cables instead of vines for Grasping Roots and Stranglethorns.

Riotmoonstones2 votes

I love the idea of cables, as opposed to fines. I'm thinking she may be a good candidate for Program, as to Full Metal, only because her plants could be awesome robots that shoot lasters. :3 (I just really like Portal and want something similar to those turrets, haha.)

How about that ultimate skin idea that was posted here a little over a month ago that you were a frequent commenter on hint hint nudge nudge wink wink.

Seriously though, just browsing through your comments on that thread on Red Tracker got me so pumped that something like that could possibly be talked about and I just want to let you know that'd I'd absolutely drop a $20 on a "Four Seasons Zyra" Ultimate skin.

(also, you're my favorite rioter; notice me senpai)

EDIT: Just searched for the thread, I guess it was 2 months ago, not one, oops.

Riotmoonstones2 votes

TBH, it's my favorite idea that's been talked about. I think there's a ton of potential there. Even if she ended up being a legendary skin, I think there is still a bunch of awesome animations and particle work that could be done with her kit. ^-^

I would love to see Death Blossom or Order of the Lotus. But I would also love to see Void Born or Blade Queen. Maybe even Elderwood. A more Human-like skin would also be super cool but I wouldn't be too sure how that would look considering she is already pretty human XD

Riotmoonstones1 votes

Oooh, Death Blossom would be awesome! I think you're on the right track in terms of something nature-themed. While she is somewhat nature herself, I think it would be cool to push the thematic into another direction.

Hex the FenFen1 votes

I really want a skin that pushes her nature theme to a super magical point almost to the brink of complete fairy tail (much like Elderwood). I wanna see something elegant and shows Zyra's more alluring side, because she is a "sit and wait" kind of champion/personality. She wants to lure prey into her thorny grasp. Death Blossom and Elderwood would both portray this and the color themes for both of those skins would look absolutely stunning on Zyra.

Riotmoonstones1 votes

I agree - something like Death Blossom has the feeling of a sit and wait personality - both Elise and Kha'Zix have abilities that make it so you can engage on your target in a clever way. I feel like Zyra could fit this as well - her seeds out and she unleashes her Q or her E from the bushes and activates them, resulting in either a lock down (catching her prey), or at least doing a decent amount of damage to anyone who dares step close.

Hex the FenFen1 votes

Exactly! Plus the basic color scheme for Death Blossom (blues and yellows) and the glow effect it seems to give would be just amazing on her. And it would give some elegance to her as well. I also feel like with Death Blossom Zyra it would be perfect to take some inspiration from the Pale Tree from Guild Wars 2. It is elegant and perfect for this kind of skin.

Link below for Pale Tree:

I also think that the hair on the Pale Tree would be AMAZING for a basis for Zyra in a skin. Something like that I would definitely pay for/ die for! XD

Riotmoonstones1 votes

Right - the elegance, yet deadly vibe runs through her, which still captures her personality and fits her character. I'm picturing a sylvari mesmer right now, but that's because it's the only thing I used to play in GW2, haha.

I love, love, love the dress on her - if we took it in the direction of Death Blossom Elise's bum, we could to something amazing with it. We could also pull in some color from Kha'Zix to give her even more of a nature feel. :)

Omg I would LOVE LOVE LOVE that! I loved my mesmer too XD she was such a pretty Sylvari XD I named her Zyra too lol. But I love that idea so much I'm getting super giddy!

Riotmoonstones1 votes

Haha, of course. :P

Hex the FenFen1 votes

I'm so excited that you took an interest in this ^_^ I also wanna thank you on all Zyra mains behalf for replying so much. It really feels like we are being heard and I love it! Thank you!

Riotmoonstones1 votes

Of course! I love the plant lady myself, so I'm always happy to talk about her. :D

Elewd2 votes

Snowday skin for sure!, christmas lights for her vines, snowman turrets and snowballs for her seeds. maybe a christmas tree for her vine lashor! and she has to be wearing a bigass coat with a hat and all sorts of warm looking stuff and her recall would involve her pulling out a giant lamp melting the snow around her, she needs that sunlight.

Arcade Zyra! Instead of seed pods, she plants plain blocks. When triggered, 8-bit fire spitter plants come from Q, hammers from E.

Riotmoonstones4 votes

O__O This has been one of my favorite concepts for her - with so many models, there is a ton that can be done here. If only she had her old passive, we could toss in a 1UP real quick before she died again. ;)

Hex the FenFen2 votes

Yes!!!!!!

Vekkna2 votes

I have the best idea yet!

VICTORIOUS ZYRA!!

Though I'd settle for Challenger or Championship. I have absolutely no idea how they should look, but there is a lot of room for creativity.

Speaking of Victorious skins, do you know why the lightning particle on Victorious Janna's staff was removed in the texture update?

macromite1 votes

victorious, challenger, and championship are reserved for characters that were prevalent in that season. victorious zyra is a pipe dream due to it.

Faceroll Tactics1 votes

So who so far is eligible for the Victorious skins?

Poppy Ekko Kindred seem like the biggest performers, but we've got a whole half season ahead of us.

Riotmoonstones1 votes

Unfortunately, as macromite pointed out, unless she becomes impactful in the season, it's not likely you'll see her in those skin lines. :c

As for the particle on Victorious Janna, not sure if that was supposed to be removed. I can look into it.

Marasenna1 votes

Fffff, I would so buy Arcade Zyra!!

WarWork1 votes

Oooh oooh Katey-senpai, I have one. Zombie Zyra. Instead of vines she's use zombie part (arms legs). Her seeds could be mini tombstones or heads/skulls. If you go with the skulls/ heads her passive seed sprouting animation could be something burrowing through the ground

Atleantean Zyra, with sea weeds

Riotmoonstones2 votes

+1 to Lunar Hex - I feel that Zombie may be a bit too close to Haunted in terms of thematics. :P Her sees for haunted are little graves. :3

Atlantean Zyra on the other hand could be super cool. Her E could have some kind of wave effect to it, alongside trapping someone in seaweed!

Hex the FenFen1 votes

I love the idea behind Atlantean. There are a lot of underwater plants and effects you could give her. Her seeds could be anenomes!

Riotmoonstones2 votes

Oooh, that would be awesome! Coral reef ult?! :D

Hex the FenFen1 votes

Her hair could resemble a glowing jellyfish :3

Riotmoonstones1 votes

:o YES!

Hex the FenFen1 votes

Honestly Atlantean is my 2nd most favorite concept for her and third is Program, because she can be so Portal related it'll almost be scary lol but her seeds need to be slices of cake....because they are seeds....not cake....it's a lie. The cake is a lie, but so are the seeds...PLEASE!

Riot KateyKhaos1 votes

ROFL 'the seed is a lie'.

Guardian of the Sands Zyra?

Instead of plants, little helmets appear, and proccing them turns them into Azir-style soldiers? :3

You guys turned Azir into Karthus, you can turn Zyra into Azir! :D

Actually, not Guardian of the Sands. Call her Azyr Zyra :3

Riotmoonstones1 votes

Gahhh, nuuuu pls. :P

I would, however, not be opposed to a sandstorm (du du du du du) for her ultimate!

Not really, no. :P I got level 7 on Nami, so I'm pretty set, haha.

WarWork1 votes

oh damn that's embarrassing and sad considering that I have than skin :c

How about Naga/viper/gorgon or Wyrm Zyra, seeds = eggs, plants = snake/ wyrms, ult is a giant nest or a mouth that snaps shut

Riotmoonstones1 votes

It's all good - it's a legacy skin, and she's not seen to often. Now, your other ideas I could get behind! :)

It's been six months 0_0 Time passes quickly.... I'm really looking forward to this Zyra's skin :P Unknown truth is the worst, 'cause you can expect something but it can be even not started :( Sad but... Time will show :) Zyra

ArmiPagan1 votes

#Seen this Atlantean idea before for Zyra on here except they had Kraken tentacles exploding outward in her ULT. That would be everything!!

Im just too OP1 votes

How about something that depicts the opposite of nature? Like something completely out of her. So my idea is all related to Tron:Legacy. Robot/Hextech Zyra. All Black with stripes of green on her body. Her Q are a bunch of neon spikes. W are pieces of metal. E is a huge neon whip running across the ground. Ult can be a huge pressure plate type object that pushes up. But another thing- Every ability changes the colour of stripes.

Q= Blue W= Red E= Green becoz vines are niec green. Note that color and W look can be changed. Notice me plz senpai.Amumu

Riotmoonstones1 votes

I'd love to see something along the ideas of Program because her E has some neat real estate to work with in terms of adding wires/cords.

Red and blue are tricky to work with, only because they can be pretty symbolic of ally v. enemy (ex. Jayce's gate needing to be blue for ally, despite the skin having a red thematic). Not to say we couldn't make it work, just some food for thought. :)

Im just too OP2 votes

I love Tron Legacy. So emotional at the end. And ppl actually hated it. So i think that on its own deserves some love. But if you really prefer it? Why not give it an all green and Black tron neon theme? It doesnt have to be limited to those colours. So something along the lines of pulsefire ezreal. Id love that skin. If that happens ill save my pocket money to buy RP. P.S I loved that u noticed me!

I like the idea of Virus Zyra(could be paired with Malzahar, what with his bugs) I have actually been working on a base to post on the forums.

Someone needs to oppose those evil programs...

Death Blossom Zyra, Cherry Blossom (?) Zyra, Order of the Lotus Zyra, Snow thing Zyra, Blue Rose Zyra (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/cd/c8/e8/cdc8e8386878d9ba8aa325481063e790.jpg)... I think she needs something like this... Something with those colors :3

Riotmoonstones1 votes

Oooh~ Cherry Blossom could be a cool idea for Lunar Revel.
