Track: Zyra's E — Grasping Roots (11s cooldown). The root blooms the garden on the held — dodge it behind minions.
Read from Yuumi's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Zyra.
This is Yuumi's own plan; across 3,204 pooled games the lane is leaning Zyra.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yuumi | Zyra's level-1 poke is dodgeable skillshots and slow plants your attached healing absorbs, so you lead. |
| Level 2 | Yuumi | At 2 you win the skirmish — her chip can't out-trade your empowered Q and continuous heals. |
| Level 3 | Yuumi | Level 3 keeps you ahead as your sustain erases her plant poke before she spikes on items. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yuumi | Through 4-5 you still out-heal her mana-hungry plant damage pre-items. |
| Level 6 | Zyra | At 6 her R is a dodgeable delayed knockup your heals and jukes negate — but her item spike looms. |
| First item | Zyra | On first item Liandry plants plus a landed E root finally out-burst your heals, tilting her ahead. |
| Two+ items | Zyra | Late, one root chains her full combo past your sustain, leaving Zyra favoured. |
You control levels 1-4. Zyra's damage keys off skillshots — Q's spine line, E's root — and her plants need a moment to activate, so while attached you juke it all and heal off any chip. Step up and trade whenever her E is on cooldown, because that root is her only real lockdown and without it she can't punish your sustain before she buys AP. Deny her free plant seeds by threatening her ADC when she walks up. Her root into seeded plants out-damages your healing, so keep your carry away from the seeded ground. Stay attached, aim the missile only in the gaps her root leaves, and let the wave state rather than a poke exchange decide a lane she otherwise controls.
