Zeri Bot guide

Zeri ADC is built around Living Battery (passive), Burst Fire (Q), Spark Surge (E), and Lightning Crash (R): Living Battery turns her attacks into magic damage and charges bonus damage while she moves, Burst Fire is that attack as a seven-round burst, Spark Surge dashes and energizes Burst Fire to pierce through enemies while vaulting terrain, and Lightning Crash discharges a nova that overcharges her with bonus damage and stacking Move Speed.

The build

Rune page: Lethal Tempo, Triumph, Legend: Bloodline, and Cut Down (Precision), with Triple Tonic and Cash Back (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Barrier. Skill order opens Burst Fire (Q) at level 1, then maxes Burst Fire (Q) first with Spark Surge (E) second. Starter: Doran's Bow and two Health Potions, into Berserker's Greaves. Core build: B. F. Sword into Stormrazor, Fiendhunter Bolts, and Infinity Edge, with Runaan's Hurricane, Lord Dominik's Regards, and Hexoptics C44 as later options.

Ability mechanics

Burst Fire (Q) fires seven rounds dealing attack damage to the first enemy hit and counts as an Attack. Spark Surge (E) dashes Zeri a short distance, energizes Burst Fire (Q) to pierce through enemies, and lets her vault and grind over terrain she touches. Lightning Crash (R) overcharges her with bonus damage and Move Speed that refreshes and grows on every champion hit, while Burst Fire (Q) becomes a faster triple shot that chains lightning between enemies.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Jinx, Senna, Ashe, Caitlyn, Aphelios. Best matchups: Kai'Sa, Ezreal, Jhin.
