| Level 3 | Zyra | Level 3 poke denies the early souls she needs to scale. |

| Level 6 | Zyra | Your level-6 ult and zone win the 2v2 while her R is global. |
| First item | Zyra | First-item plant DPS keeps her off the wave and soul-starved. |

Levels 1-3 you win the poke war: Senna's Piercing Darkness is slow to wind up and heals off targets, but your seed-fed Q out-damages it and a plant-empowered E roots her mid-channel. Punish her low early base health and shove so she can't farm souls freely, and dodge her W (Last Embrace) root that sets up her engage.
