How it works

General

  1. You are going Guinsoo's Rageblade, building Attack Speed and On-Hit items.
  2. Thanks to Guinsoo's Rageblade, your On Hit effects are gonna trigger two times every third Attack.
  3. You are gonna play Carry for your team.

How to play

General

  1. Build On-Hit items!
  2. Usually Guinsoo's Rageblade is not good first rush. Get it as #2 or #3 item.
  3. Your first item should be adapting to enemy team:
    • If they have tons of HP stacking bruisers/tanks - go Blade of The Ruined King.
    • If they are super magic damage heavy / CC - go Wit's End.
    • If you want to become more tanky - go Titanic Hydra.
    • Since it works well with you champ, you can go Nashor's Tooth as well! It gives you nice On-Hit effect, some AP and also boosts your abilities. With this, you can build some AP (for example, you can get Zhonya's Hourglass as defensive option) or even benefit from some support buffs that give AP.
    • You can get Statikk Shiv for some fun and wave clear.
    • Otherwise, you can get Kraken Slayer.
  4. You need some time to ramp-up your damage (runes, items etc.), so position well and keep auto attacking!
  5. Remember to use Titanic Hydra active! It deals additional damage and also resets auto attack timer!

Champion

  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

Champion

  1. Instead of placing plants Rampant Growth (W) first, then triggering them with your Deadly Spines (Q) or Grasping Roots (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.
