Zyra Build
Rise of the Thorns
Born in an ancient, sorcerous catastrophe, Zyra is the wrath of nature given form—an alluring hybrid of plant and human, kindling new life with every step. She views the many mortals of Valoran as little more than prey for her seeded progeny, and thinks nothing of slaying them with flurries of deadly spines. Though her true purpose has not been revealed, Zyra wanders the world, indulging her most primal urges to colonize, and strangle all other life from it.
The most played Zyra Jungle build on patch 26.21 runs Electrocute with Cheap Shot, Sixth Sense and Treasure Hunter, plus Cut Down and Legend: Haste from the secondary tree. Take Smite and Flash. Start with Scorchclaw Pup and Health Potion, then build Liandry's Torment, Sorcerer's Shoes and Shadowflame, followed by Zhonya's Hourglass, Rabadon's Deathcap and Morellonomicon. Max Q (Deadly Spines) first, then E (Grasping Roots), then W (Rampant Growth). It has a 52.8% win rate and a 1.6% pick rate.
