Discovering Zyra Jungle
Xarioo, a Master tier Polish player on EUW, discovered Zyra jungle through a TikTok video showcasing a Chinese player soloing Baron with the pick. Intrigued, Xarioo tested it out in normal games with friends and realized its potential.
Zyra’s Unique Clear
Zyra’s jungle clear involves clever seed management and utilizing plants to maximize damage. Xarioo starts with Q at level 1 and focuses on setting up his passive for the first clear. By strategically spawning plants and utilizing seed resets, he achieves an incredibly fast clear.
Ganking with Zyra
Zyra’s ganks differ from traditional junglers. Instead of relying solely on landing her E ability, Xarioo utilizes her slowing plants to set up kills. By strategically placing plants and utilizing their slows, Zyra can catch enemies off guard and secure kills with ease.
Mid and Late Game Power
As the game progresses, Zyra becomes a potent force in teamfights. With her Liandry’s, Imperial Mandate, and jungle item, she can burst down enemies and provide crowd control and peel for her team. Additionally, Zyra’s ability to solo Baron at 20 minutes makes her a formidable threat.
Rating and Build
Xarioo rates Zyra jungle as a top-tier pick, comparing her to Heimerdinger support and jungle. He recommends building Red Smite, Sorcerer’s Shoes, Liandry’s, and Imperial Mandate. For runes, Comet and Inspiration are the preferred choices.
