Levels 4-5ZyraThrough 4-5 you keep her shoved and punish every step-up with E.
Level 6ZyraYour knock-up ult flips the 2v2 harder than her telegraphed Encore.
First itemZyraFirst item makes your plants real DPS she cannot out-shield.
Two+ itemsZyraTwo-item plant zoning out-damages her enchanter utility late.

How to beat Seraphine as Zyra: the early game

You control levels 1-2: E is a reliable point-and-click-ish root through your plant setup while her Q is a slow delayed circle, so you win the first trades and spike hardest at 2 for the all-in. Her ramp outpaces a half-committed exchange, so seed the ground and commit the full sequence or none of it. Hold the root for the moment her shield is spent on her carry, let the plants do the damage, and keep your carry off her cast line.
