In this practical tip, we will show you how to play for the League of Legends Champion Zyra as support. In this article, you will learn how to skil your skills, which items are good and which runes suit Zyra.
Support Zyra: Skills and skills in League of Legends
The role of the supporter in League of Legends is to support the AD carry on bot lane as much as possible. Unlike some other supports, Zyra does this through damage that keeps the opposing bot lane at bay. Zyra has the following skills:
- Thorn garden: The Passive from Zyra ensures that seeds appear regularly in its vicinity - these play an important role for the other skills of Zyra. If you cast a nearby skill, the seed grows into a plant that attacks enemies and monsters. If opponents step on it, the seeds will disappear.
- Deadly Thorns: This area deals damage to enemies. Seeds that become plants through this skill attack enemies from a greater distance.
- Rapid growth: You place a seed at a desired location. If an opponent moves on it, the seed will disappear, but your team will get a view of the opposing champion for 2 seconds.
- Gripping roots: This skillshot not only deals damage, but also roots opponents for 2 seconds. Nearby seeds become short-range plants - slow down enemies hit by 30 percent for 2 seconds.
- Strangler Thorns: Summon a large area to throw enemies up. Nearby plants get more life and also deal more damage.
- The first skill point should be invested in the Q because it is the best way to attack enemies at a distance. Then level the "Gripping Roots" and finally "Unbridled Growth".
- Maximize "Deadly Thorns" if you want to do a lot of damage. But it is also useful to maximize "gripping roots". Second, you maximize the other skill.
- At levels 6, 11 and 16 you definitely put the skill point in the ultimate skill.
Items for Zyra
Many supports rely on healing and buffs for the ADC or the team. But not Zyra: Your goal is to do as much damage to your opponent as possible with your solid base damage. Nevertheless, as support you have the task of protecting the ADC with your root and ensure a view on the card.
- Start with the "Dagger of the Magic Thief" and try to hit the opponents as often as possible to generate gold. After 500 gold via the support item, you get permanent eyes. Then immediately replace the "Defense Totem" with the "Lens of the Oracle" in order to destroy enemy wardens.
- The perfect item for Zyra is "Liandry's agony". By planting you renew the passive of the item regularly and cause enormous damage.
- In addition, the items "Rylais crystal scepter", "Morellonomicon" and "Void staff" are available. If the game runs very well and you generate a lot of gold, you can also buy "Rabadon's Deathcap".
Runes for support
With the runes you underline Zyra's abilities: they cause more damage, as well as mana and cooldown reduction, so that you can use your abilities as often as possible.
- Select "Magic" with the key rune "Arcane Comet" as the path.
- As segments you choose "Mana Flow", "Superiority" and "Heat Wave".
- There are two different options for the secondary path: "Inspiration" with "Perfect Timing" and "Cosmic Insight" are useful. On the other hand, "Dominance" with "Taste of Blood" and "Merciless Hunter" causes more damage.
