| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zyra | Zyra-favoured: her plant-backed Q poke out-ranges you and zones you at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Zyra | Zyra-favoured: her level-2 seeded-plant plus E root shuts down your first all-in. |
| Level 3 | Zyra | Zyra-favoured: level 3 E (Grasping Roots) is a ready answer that cancels your dash. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zyra | Zyra-favoured: at 4-5 her plant DoT grinds you down faster than you can trade back. |
| Level 6 | Zyra | Zyra-favoured: her R knockup plus plant swarm punishes your engage harder than your CC punishes her. |
| First item | Zyra | Zyra-favoured: first-item burn lets her zone you and your ADC off the wave. |
| Two+ items | Zyra | Zyra-favoured: she scales into a fight-winning zone-control support your reactive engage struggles to reach. |
Zyra wins levels 1-2 with plant-backed poke: Deadly Spines (Q) plus seeded plants chunk you whenever you step up, and her E (Grasping Roots) is a ready-made answer to your dash. You can't contest CS positioning without eating burn, so play the fog and only commit if her E is on cooldown.
