Zyra's Abilities

Garden of Thorns Zyra's Passive

900

Seeds spawn around Zyra periodically, lasting for 30 seconds. If an enemy champion steps on a seed, it dies. If Zyra is hiding in brush, seeds will not spawn until she reveals herself. Plants deal 60-100 bonus magic damage to all monsters (depending on level).

Casting Deadly Spines or Grasping Roots near seeds causes them to grow into Plants with 8 Health that deal 16-84 (+18% of ability power) magic damage on hit (at levels 1-18) and last 8 seconds. Plants of the same type deal 50% less damage against the same target.

Damage to plants:
Ranged Basic Attacks: 5
Melee Basic Attacks: 8
Single Target Spells: 8
Area of Effect Spells: 3
Damage Over Time: 1
Large minions/monsters: 2
Small minions/monsters: 1

Deadly Spines Zyra's Q Ability

800

7 / 6.5 / 6 / 5.5 / 5

Zyra causes thick vines to spread and explode into spines, dealing 60 / 100 / 140 / 180 / 220 (+65% of ability power) magic damage.

If this ability is cast near a Seed, the Seed grows into a Thorn Spitter that deals 20−100 (+15% of ability power) magic damage and lasts 8 seconds (depending on level). Thorn Spitters have 575 range.

Rampant Growth Zyra's W Ability

850

18 / 16 / 14 / 12 / 10

Zyra plants a Seed that lasts 60 seconds. These Seeds grant true sight of enemy champions that step on them for 2 seconds, but are still destroyed.

This ability has 2 charges with a 1 second recharge time. Killing an enemy reduces the recharge time by 35%. Champion takedowns, large jungle monster kills, and large minion kills reduce the recharge time by 100% instead.

Grasping Roots Zyra's E Ability

1100

70 / 75 / 80 / 85 / 90

Zyra sends vines forward, rooting for 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 seconds and dealing 60 / 95 / 130 / 165 / 200 (+60% of ability power) magic damage.

If this ability passes near a Seed, the Seed grows into a Vine Lasher that deals 20−100 (+15% of ability power) magic damage and lasts 8 seconds (depending on level). Vine Lashers have 400 range and their attacks slow by 30% for 2 seconds. The slow from multiple Vine Lashers stacks up to 2 times.

Stranglethorns Zyra's Ultimate (R) Ability

700

100

110 / 100 / 90 / 90 / 90

Zyra summons the fury of nature, growing a twisted thicket that deals 180 / 265 / 350 (+70% of ability power) magic damage. After 2 seconds, the vines snap upwards, knocking up for 1 second.

Zyra's plants within the thicket become enraged, resetting their duration, gaining 50% health and attacking for 150% bonus damage.
