Playing against Zyra
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Destroy her plants by auto-attacking them (1-2 autos) — without plants, her damage is significantly reduced.
Her E root is a linear skillshot: stay behind minions or side-step.
Zyra is extremely squishy: direct engages kill her in one combo.
Her R has a 2s delay before the knockup: get out of the zone if you can, or Flash.
