Read from Lux's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Zyra.
This is Lux's own plan; across 5,487 pooled games the lane is leaning Zyra.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zyra | Zyra's lvl-1 E plus seeded plants out-damage your single Q. |
| Level 2 | Zyra | At 2 her plant burst wins the all-in and the poke war. |
| Level 3 | Zyra | Level 3 she still zones you off CS with plant walls. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lux | By 4-5 your range and E slow let you win the root-for-root trade. |
| Level 6 | Lux | At 6 your R out-ranges her Stranglethorns so you poke over it. |
| First item | Lux | Luden's makes your Q-E burst one-shot her squishy frame. |
| Two+ items | Lux | You out-scale her plant-reliant zone with point-and-click pick threat. |
Zyra owns levels 1-3: her E root plus pre-seeded plants deal far more damage than your lone Q, and she can zone you off the wave with a plant wall. Don't contest the poke war here; sidestep her E (it's a slow skillshot), farm from range, and hold Q for a clean root rather than trading into her plant zone. Respect her level-2 all-in when she has plants down. Her root into pre-seeded plants deals far more than your rotation, so stop contesting and shield the chip. Clear the seeds nearest your carry, and save your own root for the moment hers has already been spent rather than trading through a plant zone she controls.
