Jungle Clearing Strategy
- Prioritize killing the small jungle monsters first. They are easier to kill and will reset
Zyra's W (
Rampant Growth), allowing you to summon more plants.
- Use
Zyra's plants effectively to automate jungle camps. Position plants strategically to tank damage from jungle monsters while you continue clearing or move towards the next camp.
- Coordinate your abilities to maximize plant damage output. Use Q (
Deadly Spines) to spawn plants with bonus damage, and E (
Grasping Roots) to immobilize monsters and ensure plants can attack without interruption.
- Maintain movement between camps.
Zyra's high clear speed allows you to swiftly move through the jungle. Combine this with Sorcery runes like Nimbus Cloak and Celerity for enhanced mobility.
- Adapt your approach based on plant placement and cooldowns. Always be ready to summon new plants to maintain efficiency in clearing and minimizing damage taken.
