Guide to Countering Zyra as Draven

Tips for Playing as Draven against Zyra

If Draven doesn't move, Spinning Axe will fall near his present location. It will fall directly on him, or just to the right or left.

If Draven does move after attacking, Spinning Axe will lead him in the direction of his movement. Use this to control where the Spinning Axe will go.

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.
