How to win lane as Rakan against Zyra · 50.49% win rate over 1,016 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zyra | Level 1 goes to Zyra because her plant poke and range outmatch your slow engage. |
| Level 2 | Zyra | Level 2 favors Zyra as her E root hard-stops your W flip and her plants punish it. |
| Level 3 | Zyra | Level 3 stays Zyra-favored since layered plant damage and root keep you from closing safely. |
| Levels 4-5 | Rakan | Levels 4-5 tip to Rakan as your E dash lets you juke her root and reach her immobile body. |
| Level 6 | Rakan | Level 6 is Rakan's because your R charm bursts her before her R knock-up blooms. |
| First item | Rakan | First item favors Rakan since boots plus a baited E let you close on a champ with no escape. |
| Two+ items | Rakan | Two-plus items are Rakan's as you charm through chokes and delete an immobile Zyra. |
Levels 1-3 are Zyra's. Her plant poke and long E root punish your telegraphed W engage hard — if you flip in without her E baited, she roots you out of the air and her seeded plants shred you. Play behind minions, respect her range, and don't force an all-in until her E is on cooldown.
