Read from Zyra's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Rell.
This is Zyra's own plan; across 1,967 pooled games the lane is leaning Rell.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zyra | You out-range Rell at level 1 with seed Q against her melee-only kit. |
| Level 2 | Zyra | Plant-empowered E at 2 roots her before her W dash-slam. |
| Level 3 | Zyra | Level 3 poke keeps taxing an immobile, sustain-less tank. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zyra | Levels 4-5 your zone control neutralizes her walk-up engage. |
| Level 6 | Zyra | Your level-6 ult knocks her out of her Ferromancy dash. |
| First item | Zyra | First-item plant DPS punishes every step she takes forward. |
| Two+ items | Zyra | Two-item plant walls hard-counter her limited mobility late. |
Levels 1-3 you own the lane: Rell is immobile outside her W dash and has zero ranged poke, so pepper her with seed-fed Q and hold E to root her walk-up. She'll try to all-in with a W dash-slam, so stand near open ground and keep a seed down to punish the engage before she can knock anyone up. Her engage is slow and readable, so seed the ground she has to cross and hold the root for her charge. Let the plants punish the approach, keep your carry near your side of the lane, and let the accumulated damage rather than a single trade decide it.
