| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zyra | Zyra's seeded plants and E root let her burst and lock you at level 1 with no answer back. |
| Level 2 | Zyra | At 2 her plant-augmented poke and root chunk you before Flay is online, winning the trade. |
| Level 3 | Zyra | Level 3 she has full Q-E-plant poke and can root your engage step, holding the lead. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | By 4-5 The Box and boots give you hook threat against her zero mobility, evening the lane. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 her ult is strong but interruptible mid-channel, making the all-in a skill duel. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item closes the range gap so trades hinge on who lands their skillshot first. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | In 2+ item fights her poke and your engage offset, so hook accuracy and peel decide it. |
Zyra wins the first three levels here. Her seeded plants turn every Q and E into a heavy burst, and her Grasping Roots root can lock you for a full combo before you have Flay to answer. Don't walk over her seeds or into the E line — sit behind minions, only CS when her E is down, and respect that her plant poke chunks both you and your ADC. Your one offensive tool is a fog hook when she's out of position.
