How it works

General
  1. You are going Guinsoo's Rageblade, building Attack Speed and On-Hit items.
  2. Thanks to Guinsoo's Rageblade, your On Hit effects are gonna trigger two times every third Attack.
  3. You are gonna play Carry for your team.

How to play

General
  1. Good first items are BoTRK, Kraken Slayer or Terminus.
  2. Remember to use Titanic Hydra active! It deals additional damage and also resets auto attack timer!
  3. Wit's End has really weird scaling, it starts being good around level 11. Before 11, it has really low On-Hit damage.
  4. Usually Guinsoo's Rageblade is not good first rush. Get it as #2 or #3 item.
Zyra On-Hit specific
  1. Zyra has 575 attack range, which is a very decent ADC range.
  2. Zyra has also decent auto attack animation, which helps with this build.
  3. Play like immobile ADC. You have some decent self-peel and catch potential.
  4. Use R during duels and fights, however be careful with Q or E, as this interrupts your auto attacking.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. Instead of placing plants (W) first, then triggering them with your Q or E, you can do it other way around. Cast Q or E first, then place plant in that area. Enemies will have no time to react!
Riot
  1. Placing a seed in your spell's path after you have cast it gives you the best chance of having a seed in the proper spot.
  2. Seeds grant vision to your team.
  3. Zyra is a great ambusher - look for opportunities to set a trap of seeds in brush, then lure enemies in.
