He has some sustain and his engage is very effective against Zyra, play as safe as possible and don't underestimate his damage.

Champion Build Guide
Hello, my name is DrunkenWolf and this is my Zyra guide, i'm a main support and i've been OTPing Zyra since Season 5. I play on the BR Server and I endup Diamond 4 in Season 7. In this guide I will talk only about Zyra support, if you want me to talk about Zyra mid/jungle please leave a feedback for me to know that. Zyra is by far my favorite champion in League and I hope to help you to learn how to play with the Rise of the Thorns. And above all, thank you for taking the time to read this Zyra Guide. |
Pros
+ High Burst damage + Can dominate the lane alone + AoE Knockup + Great to pick off people mid game + Plants can kill people after you die + Great to deal with squish and tank champions Zyra is a great support pick for solo queue, first of all she can dominate the lane alone, making the life of your adc way easier and the enemy adc a hell, her plant's attack can proc Arcane Comet, Electrocute and Frostfang allowing her to deal a good damage and make gold at a safe distance. She's also very good to make pick offs, her Grasping Roots when landed from a bush is hard to see and dodge, that plus her natural burst potential will make you be able to solo kill almost any adc/mid laner if you have the surprise advantage. She's specially a good pick when paired with self dependent adcs like Ezreal, Caitlyn and Jhin so she can focus in being agressive. |
Cons
- No mobility/scape - Very susceptible to ganks - Plants can die way to easy to AoE damage - Random seeds passive - Telegraphed CC - Not the best mage supp in team fights For being an very agressive support with no scape is kinda easy to gank a Zyra so you need a good map awareness to know when you can go full agressive so the enemy Zac don't show up from nowhere and just kill you. Sadly Riot nerfed her plants HP to hell, sometimes you will put 3-4 plants boosted with your Stranglethorns Ultimate and they will insta die to some random AoE like Shyvana's Burnout. Her Garden of Thorns passive is kinda hard to use properly both in laning phase and mid/late game, you almost never gonna make a good use of them except for lvl 1 leash for your jungler. While the best AP support in laning phase she's not as good as Brand or Vel'Koz in team fights due to their %hp damage and true damage. |
