Zeri vs Sivir

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Zeri wins by using wall access and (W) angles to punish Sivir's predictable CS paths.
Extended fights favor Zeri due to (R) mobility and mixed damage, while Sivir relies on waveclear and (E).
Manage wave states to keep terrain for (E) safety and avoid (W) poke and (E) timing.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or (Q) poke when Sivir commits to last-hitting low-health minions without (E) ready.
Use (W) through walls to punish Sivir's predictable CS paths, especially if her support can't immediately trade back.
Avoid trading if enemy support controls brush or threat zone, as (E) can block your key poke spells.

Danger windows

Avoid trading when (E) is available, as it negates your key poke and burst.
Respect (R) team movement speed boost, which enables her team to engage or disengage quickly.
Do not use (E) aggressively without a clear wall escape plan, especially if enemy support can follow up immediately.

Early game

Hold the wave near your tower early to reduce (W) angles and limit her poke.
Punish Sivir's last-hit attempts on low-health caster minions when her (E) is down and support threat is low.
Avoid pushing early waves too hard to maintain wall access for safe (E) dashes and disengage.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) transforms Zeri into a potent kiter; use it to extend fights and punish Sivir chasing through terrain.
First completed marksman item increases Zeri's poke and all-in threat; prioritize fighting around walls to maximize (W) damage.
Two-item spike enables Zeri to dominate extended fights and objective control; leverage (R) and terrain to kite and output sustained DPS.

Win conditions

Convert poke damage and CS punishment into health leads to force Sivir off waves and deny plates.
Use wall (W) poke and (E) mobility to safely farm toward item spikes and extended fight power.
Leverage (R) for long fights around objectives, kiting Sivir and her team to maximize your DPS and secure dragon control.
