Zeri vs Draven

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on punishing Draven's axe catch paths with (W) poke through walls.
Zeri wins extended fights around terrain and (R) mobility, but struggles before item spikes.
Draven controls short trades and lane priority early, forcing Zeri to farm safely and use walls for escapes.

Trading pattern

Step up to auto Draven during his last-hit animations only if enemy support can't punish.
Use (W) through walls to hit Draven's predictable axe catch paths and force him back.
Avoid trading when (E) is down or (E) is ready to interrupt your escape or engage.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) axe autos during your CS attempts when his support controls brush.
Avoid fighting when (E) is up, as it can interrupt your (E) or slow your retreat.
Be cautious when Draven has lane priority and can force short trades into your cooldowns.

Early game

Hold the wave near your tower to limit Draven's safe axe catch zones.
Punish Draven's last-hit attempts on caster minions when his support cannot trade back.
Avoid stepping forward for CS when (E) is available to interrupt your (E) dash.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) enables extended fights where Zeri's mobility and DPS outpace Draven's burst.
First completed marksman item lets Zeri kite better and punish Draven's lack of dash.
Two-item spike strengthens Zeri's poke and kiting, making it harder for Draven to engage safely.

Win conditions

Use wall (W) poke and (E) mobility to deny Draven safe axe catches and CS.
Scale into extended fights with (R) active, kiting around terrain to maximize DPS uptime.
Convert health leads and wave crashes into turret plates and dragon control to snowball advantage.

Tip: For Zeri vs Draven, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast ADC lane check.
