Guide to Synergizing Zyra and Xerath

Tips for Playing as Zyra with Xerath

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 Xerath Will Play

If you stun an enemy with Shocking Orb, follow up with a guaranteed center hit on Eye of Destruction.

It's easier to land Arcanopulse on an enemy when they're moving toward or away from you, rather than side to side.

Eye of Destruction will make landing Arcanopulse easier as the target will be slowed.

How to Play with Xerath as Zyra in LoL

The Zyra Xerath synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Xerath, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Zyra sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Xerath. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Xerath helps Zyra perform not as well in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Zyra is an ally to Xerath, she gets a barely noticable drop in her total damage output. This difference could indicate that Xerath does not help cover for her to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Zyra is played alongside Xerath on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Xerath.

Additionally, when Zyra plays with Xerath on the same team, she typically receives a little more damage than when she fights alone. Taking more damage could mean that Xerath does a poor job of covering Zyra in team fights.

Is Zyra better when played alongside Xerath?

There is no top champion pairing for Zyra that will no matter what be her ideal ally. Yet, Xerath is a pretty good ally for Zyra. By locking into the same team as Zyra, he improves their win rate by 1.0% to 53.6%. This shows that there is a good bond between Zyra and Xerath that allows them to perform stronger together than alone.

Xerath has a greater difficulty than Zyra. That means Zyra players should be careful when enlisting Xerath allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to play well with you.

Playing cooperatively, Zyra players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. When paired, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by aligning Zyra and Xerath together, you will not be providing your other teammates very much sustained damage output. We recommend you have other champs on your team that offsets this hole in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of the skill of your Xerath ally, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
