When Zyra dies, she briefly returns to her plant form. After 2 seconds, she can press any ability to fire a thorn toward her cursor, dealing true damage to each enemy it strikes.
Zyra grows a bud at target location. After a brief delay, it explodes, launching damaging thorns at all nearby enemies. If cast upon a seed, Deadly Bloom grows a Thorn Spitter plant, which fires at enemies from afar.
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. Additionally passively grants her Cooldown Reduction.
Zyra sends forth vines through the ground to ensnare her target, dealing damage and rooting enemies they come across. If cast upon a seed, Grasping Roots grows a Vine Lasher, whose short range attacks reduce enemy movement speed.
Zyra summons a twisted thicket at her target location, dealing damage to enemies as it expands and knocking them airborne as it contracts.
Champion Tips
Riot officialPlaying as
- Placing a seed in your spell's path after you have cast it gives you the best chance of having a seed in the proper spot.
- Seeds grant vision to your team.
- Zyra is a great ambusher -- Look for opportunities to set a trap of seeds in brush, then lure enemies in.
Playing against
- Zyra's seeds can be destroyed by stepping on them. Crush them under foot if she is using them primarily to give her team vision of an area.
- Moving closer to Zyra can be a smart move if she places plants too far away from herself.
- Plants can be killed by three basic attacks, or a single target spell and one basic attack.
- Move away from or strafe rapidly around Zyra when she dies, or she will exact true vengeance upon you from the grave.
