I'm pretty sure it does, but I'm not sure if you'll get the most notable effect since the plants don't actually deal that much damage compared to your actual spells. You'll definitely see some sort of difference with your Q and E though. The only problem I foresee is that we can't replace any of the current build options with Haunting Guise as it provides no mana and relatively less survivability in lane for rushing Rabadon's Deathcap.


Well, that maybe true... But on the other hand, I don´t know how often you have full item build, but my games usually end with 4 or 5 complete items. Sometimes win, sometimes loss. But having full item build is for me really rare :)

Btw: I tried it, my plants did great damage and I was able to hurt tank and off-tank too. Two birds with one stone. Of course, everything depends on play-style. I think I found mine with MP.

If you would try it too:
Runes: Greater Mark of Magic Penetration , Greater Seal of Replenishment , Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power , Greater Quintessence of Magic Penetration

Items: Boots of Speed > 2x Doran's Ring > Haunting Guise > Sorcerer's Shoes > Needlessly Large Rod > Giant's Belt > Rabadon's Deathcap > Rylai's Crystal Scepter > Void Staff
Build isn´t full, because I always change it according game ;)

I love the layout! Really nice job on that part. I like to see Ap carries as either asassin or sustainable champions. For example, LeBlanc is an asassin Ap carry that focuses on singel target units and finishes them of in very short manner. swain on the other hand is a susstainable Ap carry that constantly puts out damage to the enemy team over a longer duration. The goal with asassins is to maximise your early to mid game AP and burst in general. Theese champions do not often buy a Rod of Ages since the the goal is not to stay and spamm skills. But the RoA can be crusial to get as early as possible to maximise your lategame sustain and damage output. So because you skip the RoA I suggest getting the Deathfire Grasp right before the Rabadon's Deathcap to really higher your burst. Just my personal thoughts about your item choise. Other then that, I don't really have anything to ad. Great job! Sorry for any misspelled words. GlHF!

Hey there, I just wanted to point out that with the Wraiths, you can easily take your own Wraiths plus the enemy team's Wraiths on Zyra, and you don't even need to auto-attack them.

You can generally just plant two seeds in the Wraiths and then Q, and your two ranged plants will kill all four Wraiths as long as you've leashed it right. Sometimes you might miss one if they travel too far out of range, so an option is to auto the big Wraith once before running away.

If you watch some of Scarra's Zyra gameplay, you'll see what I mean! :)

OK, this guide has good depth, but I think that you could explain more about supporting, as this is a seriously viable choice due to protection, cc etc.
great guide!

Great guide, very well organized and to the point. Multiple build options covering all scenarios not just one build set in stone +1 from me. Btw, been using this guide for a while and i've had great results with Zyra.


If you have some time feel free to take a look at my Vayne guide Seeking Hearts With Passive Abuse Or my Shen guide Throw Em On The Ground

@Onrion - Thanks. It seems like an option that might work on the GP10 route. I don't know if I have time to test it yet though.

I was wondering if that was true too, and I was looking through the videos but he didn't do it >< I'll give it a shot in-game and maybe get some useful screenshots out of it. Thanks!

@Fishy and Rammus: As for support Zyra, I've managed to try it out a couple of times but it just seems that she needs the farm. Even with 2 or 3 GP10 items she doesn't seem to do enough damage without that precious farm. It seems to become better as you progress into late game but I had a couple of games where we just lost mid-game because of it and then subsequently we couldn't pull through. I'll try it out a bit more but as for now I just don't have the experience to offer any advice yet. Thanks for the suggestion!

@Everyone else, sorry if I missed you. Thanks for all the helpful comments! A few of us are gonna try out Lich Bane as it has been suggested several times recently so that's the priority right now.

Have played 3 ranked games as her using this guide, and I have yet to lose or go negative. Definitely works, so +1 to you. =D
