Zyra Jungle. Chilling Smite, Magus. Use plants and autoattack-canceling the dragon to level 5 solo dragon. Get liandrys 2nd item. Do a lot of damage.

The trick is to make the dragon turn around by walking closer than your plant is to the dragon, then move away before it hits you.

Repeat this and the dragon never hits you and barely ever hits your plants.

Plants soak up two hits of dragon.

This will probably get patched. After all, if Heimer can solo dragon at level 1...

If you build banner of command it makes your plants stronger / morellonomicon inflicts grevious wounds / rylais slows.

Long story short it does on hit effects.

I need to try this.

Unfortunately, Zyra isn't really a strong jungler :<

Zyra can solo dragon @ level 2 with blue buff, pretty easily. Also the PBE buff to dragon shouldn't affect this.

It can work pretty well, but you probably won't get much chance to actually play it, people on NA at least don't seem to go for anything out of the meta, I actually have a jungle pick based on this, Jinx, she can clear by kiting the mobs, especially now that machete has a DOT, she has AOE with rockets, for some pretty good clearing, and with stalkers blade and devourer her late game is terrifying, her ganks are also pretty good since she has a long ranged slow and a root, plus with a global execute you can turn the tide in quite a few fights from anywhere on the map, but people dodge most of the time if you try to play her as a jungler, so since I'm not the best jungler this either allows me to play a familiar champion in the role or to requeue for a more preferred role.
