Guide to Synergizing Zyra and Skarner

Tips for Playing as Zyra with Skarner

Seeds grant vision to your team.

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.

Zyra is a great ambusher - look for opportunities to set a trap of seeds in brush, then lure enemies in.

Advice to Understand How Skarner Will Play

Impale is extremely powerful when you use it to position an enemy so your allies can attack them.

Basic attacks reduce the cooldown of Crystal Slash. Use them as often as possible for maximum damage.

Capturing Crystal Spires before attempting neutral objectives or team fights around them improves Skarner's performance in said fights dramatically.

Although, by bringing Zyra and Skarner together, you may not be giving your team a lot of cover. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that offsets this hole in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Skarner ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
