Zyra at Low Elo

[quote=Apfeljack]I think Zyra is great to play in low ELO. I struggled through Bronze and Silver myself by playing a lot of Zyra in both roles. She is definitely one of the supports with the strongest impact in a match. Even when behind her kit will never be useless. It's true that you can end up building AP on Zyra even as support. Especially when your jungler already builds [[Locket of the Iron Solari]]. However I'd rather go for [[Rylai's Crystal Scepter]] and [[Liandry's Torment]] (also consider [[Morellonomicon]]) instead of [[Rabadon's Deathcap]]. They add a lot of utility besides the damage.[/quote]

[quote=-NA- Veng Lmfao][[twin shadows]] is also a fantastic item to add to the list, jack.[/quote]

[quote=Apfeljack]Ohh, yes, I forgot about it, thanks! I do sometimes build [[twin shadows]] even when I build the support items like [[Locket of the Iron Solari]], [[Shurelya's Reverie]], etc.[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites][[Zyra]] is fine both mid and support, although I think she shines more in the support* role. The problem is that she is pretty damn squishy and if you're out of position you can easily die. She has some of the best team fighting potential out of all supports, I'd just be super careful in laning phase, because if you do miss a [[Grasping Roots]] a smart enemy will just engage on you. As far as build: if you're playing her as a support there is no reason to build [[Rabadon's Deathcap]]. It's an expensive item and you won't be getting enough AP to make it worthwhile. [[Ruby Sightstone]] is an obvious must. I generally choose from [[Boots of Mobility]] or [[Sorcerer's Shoes]], but sometimes pick up [[Ninja Tabi]] or [[Mercury's Treads]] if the enemy has a strong engage and I fear dying quickly. [[Twin Shadows]] is situational and I really only build it near the end if I have a lot of excess gold. It's really hard to fit [[Kage's Lucky Pick]] and [[Ruby Sightstone]] into your build early game. Same goes for [[Shurelya's Reverie]]. You pretty much just have to pick what you need, so if you're engage for your team (which is pretty bad) you should be gettting Mobi Boots and Shurelya's to catch people. [[Zyra]] support is usually played for the disengage and peel which is why I think [[Rylai's Crystal Scepter]] is a really good item on her. I don't think the new [[Aegis of the Legion]]/[[Locket of the Iron Solari]] is good on her. It's better to have your jungler get it, while you go for something more offensive or for peeling.[/quote]
