Xerath vs Zyra

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) and (W) to poke and control lane space, enabling your ADC's safe positioning.
Deny Zyra brush control to reduce her plant zone threat and root angles.
Prioritize vision in river and tri-brush to prevent Zyra's engage and roaming attempts.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) poke layered with (W) slows to pressure Zyra and enable ADC follow-up.
Hold (E) stun defensively to peel against Zyra's root and plant engage.
Avoid charging (Q) when Zyra controls brush or can interrupt your poke with roots.

Danger windows

(E) root combined with plants creates high-risk engage windows for your ADC.
Brush control by Zyra increases threat of sudden root and plant zone damage.
Level 6 (R) can turn fights; respect enemy ultimate cooldown and avoid clustered positioning.

Early game

Contest level 2 with your ADC to avoid Zyra's root plus plant poke spike.
Hold brush denial to limit Zyra's seed placement and reduce enemy engage angles.
Coordinate wave crashes with your ADC to create safe roam windows and vision control.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks Zyra's root and plant poke; play cautiously and rely on ADC follow-up.
Level 6 (R) grants strong zone control; use your ultimate for counter-engage or picks.
First completed mana/AP item boosts your poke damage and wave control; increase lane pressure then.

Win conditions

Convert poke damage into ADC access denial by controlling brush and wave state.
Use (E) and (R) cooldowns to peel for your ADC during Zyra's engage attempts.
Ward river and tri-brush to enable safe roams and secure dragon objective setups.

Tip: For Xerath vs Zyra, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
