How it works

General
  1. You are going to be building damage items, going AD and Crit.
  2. You are going to play carry for your team.

How to play

General
  1. Zyra Crit build. You go AD, Attack Speed and of course... Crit!
  2. Don't rush Infinity Edge. Usually go for it as #2 or #3 item.
Zyra Crit specific
  1. Zyra has 575 attack range, which is a very decent ADC range.
  2. Zyra has also decent auto attack animation, which helps with this build.
  3. Play like immobile ADC. You have some decent self-peel and catch potential.
  4. Use R during duels and fights, however be careful with Q or E, as this interrupts your auto attacking.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. Instead of placing plants (W) first, then triggering them with your Q or E, you can do it other way around. Cast Q or E first, then place plant in that area. Enemies will have no time to react!
Riot
  1. 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.
  2. Seeds grant vision to your team.
  3. Zyra is a great ambusher - look for opportunities to set a trap of seeds in brush, then lure enemies in.
