How to beat Milio as Zyra: the early game

Levels 1-2 are firmly yours: Milio brings no early trade tools, so your E-Q plant combo chunks his carry uncontested and you can set up a level-2 all-in the moment his ADC steps up for a last hit. His kick knocks you off the seeded ground, so plant behind yourself rather than in front. Hold the root for the moment his kick is already spent, put the plants on their carry rather than on Milio, and let the damage accumulate rather than arriving in one burst.
