Zyra Passive Ability
Greeting Summoner.
Zyra is a new archetype Riot had been planning to try. Zyra has a free 30 second ward, a poke a snare, a knockup, and two different kind of summons to fight for you. Awesome right? Right? Well! Join me as I help explain to you an efficient way to play her! This guide WILL get updated so be sure to check it out often :DI am very open with recommendations and suggestions. Leave a comment!~ :D
Now remember, I'm not claiming to be the best! :D

Masteries
Offensive Masteries
|
|
SPACE |
When Ignite is on cooldown, it supplies you with 5 AP and 5 AD. |
SPACE |
|
|
SPACE | A small boost to your attack damage. This is viable for your auto attacks. This is useful for last hitting. | SPACE |
|
|
SPACE |
A small boost to ability power. I take 3/4 because I already used one point in
Summoner's Wrath
. Because of
Summoner's Wrath
, you get 5 more AP. |
SPACE |
|
|
SPACE |
4% Cool Down Reduction. Zyra needs all the CDR she can get in order to fulfill her combos and use her plants frequently. |
SPACE |
|
|
SPACE | Magic pen is great. It equals more damage to slice through your opponent's magic resist. | SPACE |
|
|
SPACE | 18 Ability power at level 18. The more AP you have the better for your burst. | SPACE |
|
|
SPACE | Increases your ability power by 5%. MOAR AP. | SPACE |
|
|
SPACE | Increases damage dealt by 6% to targets below 40% health. This could help with your burst and last hitting. | SPACE |
Utility Masteries
|
|
SPACE |
Flash's cooldown is reduced because of this. |
SPACE |
|
|
SPACE | 216 Mana at level 18. This is a nice boost :3 | SPACE |
|
|
SPACE |
This is a nice mastery for Zyra because she gains and additional +3 mana regen. |
SPACE |
|
|
SPACE |
This is a nice mastery for Zyra as she naturally slow. |
SPACE |
|
|
SPACE |
Zyra is pretty neat with this as she maintains blue buff and red buff more. |

Runes
Preferred Runes
- Greater Mark of Magic Penetration:
With these runes you got some nice magic penetration which helps a lot throughout the whole game. In my opinion, these only viable Marks for mages.
- Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power:
This is very good as it adds on more to your burst. Ap is always nice for Zyra.
- greater seal of replenishment:
I take 9x greater Seal of Replenishment because Zyra can be very mana hungry while spamming her abilities. I do not recommend taking Greater Seal of Scaling Mana Regeneration. - Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed is always a bonus to have that extra movement. Being a fast Zyra is ALWAYS fun. :P
Other Marks
- For really any AP Carry, the only marks you should use are Greater Mark of Magic Penetration.
Other Seals
Greater Seal of VitalityGreater Seal of Replenishment- Greater Seal of Vitality At level 18, it's a free Ruby Crystal that doesn't take up inventory space. Very useful and helps you take some additional hits and raise your effective health. A Zyra with sustain can be exceptionally hard to kill.
Other Glyphs
- Greater Glyph of Magic Resist is a small option if the enemy team is bombarded with AP casters. This is another way you can bully mid champions like Annie, Karthus, Morgana, or Anivia.
Other Quints
- Greater Quintessence of Ability Power:
You may wonder why I go for flat AP and not for AP/lvl well that's because AP/lvl Quintessences are pretty bad they won't be better than the flat ones until lvl 12.
Greater Quintessence of Ability Power great for some more early damage.
Summoner Spells
Preferred Summoner Spells
|
|
SPACE | Yay! Escape ganks, flash over walls! | SPACE |
|
|
SPACE | It's your finisher spell. I usually take this spell on almost ALL casters. | SPACE |
|
|
SPACE | A good spell. It helps you get around lanes quicker if you need to. | SPACE |
The OK
|
|
SPACE | Really this spell should be used if you're forced playing support bot lane. Don't take this if your going mid because usually mid laners are ranged and your plants are stationary. | SPACE |
|
|
SPACE | This works somewhat well to go with her sustain. | SPACE |
The Dead.
|
|
SPACE | Don't get this. It takes away the utility you need. | SPACE |
|
|
SPACE | No. What a waste of a summoner spell slot. | SPACE |
|
|
SPACE | No. Just because you passive involves you dying doesn't mean you can revive and die again. | SPACE |
|
|
SPACE | No. You are not a jungler (At least not in this guide). | SPACE |
|
|
SPACE |
No. I mean, you all ready have Flash for a escape mechanism. The second summoner spell slot should be filled with something more useful. |
SPACE |
|
|
SPACE |
Why take this when you have a ability that supplies a FREE longer lasting ward? ( Rampant Growth). This is a waste of summoner spell slot. |
SPACE |
|
|
SPACE | No. | SPACE |
|
|
SPACE |
No. You already get enough mana from Rod of Ages. |

Skill Sequence
(Passive)
- 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 × current level) true damage to each enemy it strikes.Tips
- This is more of a matter of common sense but: If you die because of multiple enemies, aim and quickly shoot the one with the lowest health.
-If you don't die because of a enemy champion but because of a turret, minion/monster or trap; aim and shoot at any nearby minions to kill them. You will still get the gold.
Zyra grows a bud at target location. After a brief delay it explodes, launching damaging thorns at all nearby enemies dealing 75 / 115 / 155 / 195 / 235 (+60% of ability power) magic damage to enemies within the area. If cast on a seed, Deadly Bloom grows a Thorn Spitter plant, which fires at enemies from afar dealing magic damage. Lasts 10 seconds.Tips
- This is your poke.
- Try activating this ability slightly behind the enemy champion so they will attempt to run back into it.
Zyra plants a seed, granting vision of an area for up to 30 seconds. Other spells cast on seeds will turn them into plants who fight for Zyra.Tips
- Remember that using Deadly Bloom on a seed creates a Thorn Spitter. Thorn Spitters are RANGED. Using
Grasping Roots on a seed creates a short ranged/melee attacker that slows upon each hit. Each hit activates the ability of Rylai's Crystal Scepter and applies spell vamp.- Plant a seed in the brush to reveal it for 30 seconds.
Zyra sends forth vines through the ground to ensnare her target, dealing 60 / 105 / 150 / 195 / 240 (+60% of ability power) magic damage and rooting enemies they come across. If cast on a seed, Grasping Roots grows a Vine Lasher, whose short range attacks reduce enemy Movement Speed.Tips
- Try using
Grasping Roots on a target before you start your combo.- Use
Grasping Roots on a seed to grow a Vine Lasher. Vine Lashers slow your opponents with each hit.-Use
Grasping Roots to ensure your escape if you're being chased.
Zyra summons a twisted thicket at her target location, dealing 200 / 325 / 450 (+75% of ability power) magic damage to enemies as it expands and knocking them airborne as it contracts. Plants in the area are enraged, increasing their Attack Speed by 50 %.Tips
- Its best to use this over at least two plants. This will increase their attack speeds while they keep hitting your opponent.
Items
Start with:
spaaace
We take boots first as a starting item because without boots, it would be extremely difficult to dodge
Swain's Nevermove, or Cassiopeia's Miasma. With Boots, this allows you to dodge and safely farm. One of the bad things about starting with Doran's Ring is you get no extra cash to buy Health Potion's.spaaace
Get Movement Speed/Boots:
spaaace
We take
Sorcerer's Shoes for the juicy magic penetration -and If you decide to get Void Staff as one of the last items, you can sell these and buy Ionian Boots of Lucidity or Mercury's Treads for added cooldown reduction or tenacity.spaaace
First Big Items:
then
then
spaaace
We take
Rylai's Crystal Scepter because its slowing ability affects ALL of her abilities. Even her plants slow with each attack. Then we get Rabadon's Deathcap for the standard AP every AP caster needs. Will of the Ancients is a good item. With this, you provide lots of utility for your team via the aura. All of your abilities apply spell vamp and each hit your plants deliver heal you.spaaace
Situational Last Two Items:
- Tank Itemsspaaace
If the enemy team is bombarded with AD carrys, you can build a
Guardian Angel. This actually makes it okay when you die. because you can use your passive TWO times. Force of Nature. I really like this item on Zyra when she needs to go up against someone like Veigar. Plus she gets movement speed. Frozen Heart makes you more useful scary as the AD Carries will tend to flee. Banshee's Veil is great. I would take this if Karthus is getting to annoying with Requiem.spaaace
- Ability Power Items Void Staff is a stunningly good item for Zyra. With this her burst rips through magic resist. Zhonya's Hourglass is a also a good choice. You can protect your self for a few second while your opponent is batted by your plants. Abyssal Mask has a large range and I'd rather use this item when playing support. Athene's Unholy Grail is a somewhat good item if you are also playing support but occasionally at mid lane if the enemy team has lots of AP casters and you use up your mana frequently. The cooldown reduction is also fun. Deathfire Grasp basically adds another ability to your burst and is a REALLY good item if your enemies are tanky. It also adds bonus cooldown reduction. Finally we have Rod of Ages. This is a REALLY good item as you get everything Zyra standardly needs. Health, AP and mana.

Conclusion
Zyra will unleash terrible thorny wrath upon you. o3o
