Zyra Build Guide by Isthatok

good guide with enough information for new zyra players. i've been playing zyra for a while now and i usally get rylai's as my first main item since the plants apply slow, which in turn helps in kiting or ganking. i've been thinking of trying out lich bane on zyra. have to see how that works out.+1

Great guide, but i'd recommend Athenes Unholy Grail.
It's a great item, great for middle against the other AP champions, good amount of AP, MP5, CDR, and overall is just great.

A good guide overall I only don't understand the masteries choice... I think the 0.5% dmg will scale better than 1AP point, but it's small nothing to worry about.

I like the build but I really think you need to build ryalis earlier because you are just so squishy and with ryalis you are able to kite and survive more.

Giving my two cents about her nerfs :
- leveling W second is now even more viable than before
- HoG+Philo is as useful as before if you follow this path and max W second
- she's still a very useful champ after the nerfs, Rylai is still the must buy in my opinion since now you are more hindered by RoA's wait time

What do you guys think ?

Also, Ori and Cassio aren't that simple to play against even though they're "short-ranged". Their main spells have the same range as your Q, and Ori can place the Ball to zone you and cast Dissonance from farther than you ; Cassio kills your plants quickly with her poisons which can turn the lane into a farmfest if both of you are cautious. She will farm better than you thanks to her poisons destroying your plants.

I thank you for taking the time to check out my Alistar guide, and upvote it. I upvoted yours as well. I acctually used your giude when I first started playing Zyra, but didn't have an account her yet then (I made the guide to publish my guide). It really is good, and helpful, and you keep it updated really well. I'm going to take a couple of ideas from your guide and use it in mine if you don't mind (like the bigger icons, for example). Thanks so much for the awesome guide, and thanks again for your comment on mine. :)

Excellent guide. Very in-depth and also I went 15/0/26 with this. The other team didn't know what had hit them. :)


Check out my two guides:

Nice guide, will have to try :)

A really well made guide :P I'm honored that you commented on my build that is a working progress, even though yours is DEFINETLY more well made than mine. It was easy to read and it shows that you have spent a lot of time on it. Actually probably the best guide i've seen, then again I don't read guides xD I just fling it when i play new champions. I will definetly try this out, looks really good. Sorry for not being able to give any suggestions, cause I have not played Zyra yet xD but I will with this guide! Great job!

Please look at my new Nidalee build! :D

How do you think are Zyra after nerf?
