Items

Boots of Speed 2 Health pots 1 Mana or 3 Health pots is the way i like to start you could get a Doran's ring if you are a low summoner lvl but otherwise higher lvls have runes for starting AP.
I then go for a Kage's Lucky Pick because of the gold it generates as well as some AP and the fact it builds into items late game.
Then i go for Sorcerer's Shoes for Magic Pen always helps a middle laner against the opposing champion.
By now you should at least have gotten a teammates gank or bursted your opponent in mid lane so you should have a kill or assist by now as well as good amount of farm so you should work towards a Rabadon's Death Cap or a Zhonya's Hourglass(especially if you need some defense if you keep getting ganked)
After that you can choose depending on the situation(just keep building AP but think about what you need as well maybe some health Rylai's Crystal Scepter or some Magic Pen Void Staff by now if your'e fed you will eventually have really high AP as well as some other stats depends on what you get.
Tip: If you feel focused get an Angelic Blessing.

Summoner Spells





Flash is Really useful for getting away as well as securing kills
Ignite for When you don't think you will catch them and they have low health
Heal can save you if you're new to the game its really great to start with
Same with ghost if you don't have flash it can save your life activate it then sprint for your life

Farming

When you're low lvl don't try to push just keep last hitting with auto attacks when you can and when you're higher you can take out a wave with one Q getting lots of farm
Back to Top

Team Work

In Team fights you can try to AoE the enemy's when they group up and if there's a loner you can burst him and kill him usually

if you're helping someone escape you can slow in multiple ways as the enemy is focused on killing the low health teammate you can burst them and possibly kill them to

Unique Skills

When Zyra gets killed your passive allows you to fire one shot (VERY useful) especially if you failed at a turret dive at least you can get the kill to.... Don't miss
