| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|

| Level 3 | Zyra | Level 3 favors Zyra because her E root can cancel your W-Q gap-close. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zyra | Levels 4-5 favor Zyra as her plant poke wins the attrition before you find an angle. |
| Level 6 | Zyra | Level 6 favors Zyra because her R knock-up plus E peels your entire engage. |

Zyra wins levels 1-2: her Q and plants out-poke you and you have no ranged answer, so any walk-up eats a root and plant damage. Don't try to trade, ward the flank bush and farm from max distance while soaking as little of her poke as you can.
