Zyra Build Guide by pauloxisto

Rise of the Thorns: Upon death, Zyra returns to her plant form. After 2 seconds, she can press any ability to fire a Vengeful Thorn towards her cursor, dealing 99 + (25 × level) true damage to each enemy it strikes. It's weird, but I coudn't test this ability yet, but from other people, I know that is OP. Like Kog's Icathian Surprise, Zyra shots one last hit to try to kill the enemy, dealing brutal true damage.

• Just because [[rise of the thorns is good doesn't mean that you would be suicide. THATS INSANITY MAN.
• If you know that there's no option, run into your enemy before dies, then your shot will be deadly good.
• If you die being stupid, shoot it on a minion wave, to get some extra gold for the shop.
  

deadly bloomDeadly Bloom: Thorns shoot from the ground, dealing magic damage to enemies within the area. If Deadly Bloom hits a seed, a Thorn Spitter grows. Thorn Spitter attacks with long range and deals magic damage. Like Nevermove, this ability is a delayed AoE, which appears brief seconds after cast. The plants that grows with this ability will deal range damage, helping you on traps, ganks or jungling.

• deadly bloom has a incredible low cooldown. Cast it whenever is possible, and try to avoid mana problems.
• Rylai's Crystal Scepter procs with plants too, you can use it to slow them like a portable Frozen Mallet.
• Use it on seeds, then use Stranglethorns. This will enrage the plants, turning them into deadly destroyers.

Rampant Growth: Plants a seed lasting 30 seconds. If an enemy champion steps on a seed, it will be destroyed but they will be revealed for 2 seconds. Zyra periodically stores seeds and she can hold up to 2 seeds at any given time. Zyra cannot plant any more than 4 plants at a time. Cast spells on seeds to grow plants. Plant damage is based on Zyra's level. Extra plants striking the same target deal 25% less damage.. Yay, wards! These seeds can be helpful at bot lane, when you have a hard jungler ( Amumu, Alistar) against you. Seeds can also reveal stealth champion, when they are stupid enough to walk trought them.

• Seeds have no mana cost, you can use them or as a ward, or as a plant.
• This ability has a great passive: Cooldown Reduction. This is why I didn't choose Ionian Boots of Lucidity for her.
• Don't be mad! Seeds can be destroyed just passing trough them. Put them on strategic places, like inside bushes, inside turrets (yes, this is possible) and inside minion aggro. This will prevent them to be destroyed.

Grasping Roots: Sends forward vines, dealing magic damage and rooting enemies for a short duration. If Grasping Roots hits a seed, a Vine Lasher grows. Vine Lasher has short ranged attack that deal magic damage and slow by 30% for 2 seconds. This is a different version from Morgana's dart binding. Rooting enemies can be awesome if they are trying to escape or trying to catch you, so this is the best way to avoid certain death.

• Take Care! If you are running away from a ranged champion, this will not help enoguh. If they are with low health, a sacrifice must be done! (or you can just ult.)
• These plants are melee, so don't be stupid if the enemy is about 2 kilometers from you and you use the plants to catch it.
• Trapping the enemies with these plants can be awesome, getting extra slow and root!

Stranglethorns: Summons the fury of nature, growing a twisted thicket at target location which deals magic damage to all enemies in the area as it expands. After 2 seconds, the vines snap upward knocking enemies into the air. Plants within the thicket are enraged, increasing their attack speed by 50%. Another delayed ability, which deals amazing damage to an area, knocking the enmies to the air!

• Use it after the plants have been growth.
• Hide into a bush to get a perfect combo with your plants and this ability!
• Fast Champions can get out of it, so use it with knowledge.
