Guide to Countering Zyra as Diana

Tips for Playing as Diana against Zyra

Use Moonfall and Lunar Rush to stay on targets and activate Moonsilver Blade for extra damage.

Consider when to cast Lunar Rush without Moonlight and when to wait for another Crescent Strike.

Landing Crescent Strike is critically important, but don't be afraid to miss. The cooldown is short and the mana cost is low.

Advice to Win Against Zyra

Moving closer to Zyra can be a smart move if she places plants too far away from herself.

Moving the fight to a different area will deprive Zyra of accumulated seeds.

Plants take fixed damage from attacks and effects, similar to wards. They also expire quickly on their own.

Seeds placed by Zyra's W are larger, a different color, and grant a small amount of vision to her team.

Zyra's seeds can be destroyed by stepping on them. If she tries to grow them as you do, dodge back at the last moment.
