Zyra
Champions that beat Zyra
- Alistarsupport
Zyra has no dash and Grasping Roots (E) is a slow line skillshot. A Trample (E) channel ramped on minions plus a flash plus Pulverize (Q) on top of her deletes her before Stranglethorns (R) plant burst lands.
- Blitzcranksupport
Zyra has no dash and stands still planting Rampant Growth (W) seeds and Deadly Spines (Q) lines. Rocket Grab (Q) hooks her at 1079 range before Grasping Roots (E) root sets up Stranglethorns (R) plant burst.
- Galiosupport
Zyra stands still to land Deadly Spines (Q) and Grasping Roots (E) skillshots; Justice Punch (E) reaches her through minions and Shield of Durand (W) tanks the Stranglethorns (R) burst that would normally chase off a melee engager. She has no dash to survive the taunt.
- Karmasupport
Inner Flame (Q) outranges Deadly Spines (Q), 950 against 800, and Inspire (E) shield negates the plant poke from Rampant Growth (W). Focused Resolve (W) roots Zyra during Grasping Roots (E) cast, and the Mantra-Q flame field denies the ground she needs for her plants.
- Leonasupport
Leona's Zenith Blade E dash plus Solar Flare R chain CC bypass Zyra's plant zoning, dashing through the field onto her without slowing. Shield of Daybreak Q stun chains the lock, and Sunlight passive marks Zyra for bonus team damage during the no-peel commit window.
- Nautilussupport
Nautilus's Dredge Line Q hooks Zyra through minions, pulling her out of her pre-placed plant field. Staggering Blow passive triggers root on the first auto, Riptide E AOE slow stacks the CC chain, and Depth Charge R chain knock-up finishes her before R triggers.
- Pantheonsupport
Pantheon's Shield Vault W stuns through plant attacks and his Comet Spear Q poke shreds Zyra's HP bar from outside Grasping Roots E range. Aegis Assault E blocks plant auto-attack damage from one direction, and Grand Starfall R hard-engages over walls.
- Pykesupport
Pyke's Phantom Undertow E dashes him out of a failed engage and leaves a phantom that stuns on the way back, and Death From Below R executes Zyra below the HP threshold before her plant field ramps. Bone Skewer Q hook pulls Zyra out of pre-placed seeds.
- Rellsupport
Zyra casts Grasping Roots E from a fixed cast position and her plants cannot reach the W landing point. Flash plus Ferromancy: Crash Down closes the gap onto her cast position, and Magnet Storm R drags her in for the kill.
- Zacsupport
Zyra plants Grasping Roots E root and Deadly Spines Q from a fixed cast position. Elastic Slingshot E launched from river fog turns that cast spot into a knockup landing. Rampant Growth W plants are stationary AI minions that cannot peel Zac off the carry.
Champions Zyra beats
- Aniviamid
Zyra's Grasping Roots E is a long linear root that lands clean on Anivia — no dash to dodge. The root chains into Deadly Spines Q plus a Stranglethorns R knockup. Crystallize W wall offers no displacement to escape, and Anivia's slow Flash Frost Q is sidestepped.
- Karthusjungle
Zyra's Grasping Roots E is a long linear root that lands clean on Karthus — no dash to dodge. The root chains into Deadly Spines Q plus a Stranglethorns R knockup. Karthus's only escape is Wall of Pain W slow which does not break the root or the plant burst.
- Shacojungle
Grasping Roots (E) catches Shaco mid Deceive (Q) cast and the root applies on the body even from fog. Stranglethorns (R) AOE knock-up plus plant aggro hits the Hallucinate (R) clone, and Deadly Spines (Q) plus Rampant Growth (W) seeds chip his low base HP.
- Sorakasupport
Zyra's Deadly Spines Q plus Garden of Thorns plants out-damage Soraka's Astral Infusion W healing throughput, since she pays her own Health to heal. Equinox E silence is short-range and cannot prevent Zyra's pre-placed Rampant Growth W seed setup at range.
- Taricsupport
Zyra's Grasping Roots E locks Taric outside Dazzle E's 610 range, freezing him while Garden of Thorns passive plants chip his HP. Stranglethorns R covers Cosmic Radiance R's 2.5s delay window, forcing disengage before invulnerability ends.
- Veigarsupport
Zyra's Grasping Roots E is a long linear root that lands clean on Veigar — no dash to dodge. The root chains into Deadly Spines Q plus a Stranglethorns R knockup. Veigar's Event Horizon E cage cannot peel a Zyra at range while her plants attack from behind.
- Yuumisupport
Zyra's Deadly Spines Q plus Garden of Thorns plants out-damage Yuumi's healing throughput. Yuumi has no body while detached from her ADC, and You and Me! W cannot save her ADC from a Stranglethorns R knockup zone covering the entire bot lane.
