Zyra Support guide

Zyra support is a zone-control mage built around Rampant Growth (W), Deadly Spines (Q), and Grasping Roots (E): bank seeds with Rampant Growth, grow a Thorn Spitter by casting Deadly Spines near one, then land Grasping Roots to root a target and grow a slowing Vine Lasher before finishing with Stranglethorns (R).

The build

Rune page: Arcane Comet, Manaflow Band, Transcendence, and Scorch (Sorcery), with Relentless Hunter and Taste of Blood (Domination). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens Grasping Roots (E), then Rampant Growth (W), then Deadly Spines (Q), maxing Grasping Roots (E) first with Deadly Spines (Q) second. Starter: two Health Potions, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Liandry's Torment, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Morellonomicon, with Zaz'Zak's Realmspike, Oblivion Orb, and Blackfire Torch as later options.

Ability mechanics

Rampant Growth (W) plants a seed that lasts up to 60 seconds, and Zyra can store several at once while killing enemies reduces its recharge time. Deadly Spines (Q) spreads vines that explode into damaging spines, growing a Thorn Spitter that fires from afar if cast near a seed. Grasping Roots (E) sends vines to root enemies it hits, growing a Vine Lasher that slows Move Speed if cast near a seed. Stranglethorns (R) summons a thicket that damages enemies as it expands and knocks them airborne as it contracts, enraging any plants inside.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Leona, Karma, Nautilus, Lulu, Senna. Best matchups: Seraphine, Nami, Thresh.
