Graves vs Zyra

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use fast, healthy clears to maintain tempo and pressure Zyra's slower jungle presence.
Prioritize invading and counter-jungling when Zyra shows on predictable gank paths.
Leverage ranged skirmishes and armor stacking to win early duels and control river access.

Jungle Plan

Path camps to align with invade windows when Zyra commits to predictable routes.
Use superior clear speed to pressure opposite-side jungle and deny Zyra farm safely.
Control river vision before dragon and Rift Herald to enable safe objective setups and counter-ganks.

Danger windows

Avoid river fights when Zyra's root (E) and plants control brush angles.
Respect Zyra's level 2 root plus plant poke timing that punishes early overextensions.
Beware of forced smite fights near bot lane when Zyra's ultimate zones clustered engages.

Early game

Start with a full clear to secure health and tempo before contesting river Scuttle.
Only contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to back up potential fights.
Avoid early invades if Zyra's bot lane controls brush and can root engages easily.

Power spikes

Level 2: Use early (E) dash and burst to punish Zyra's immobility before she controls brush.
Level 3: Full kit unlock lets you invade and duel harder; punish Zyra after her root cooldown.
Mid-game: Item spikes increase dueling power to secure objectives and deny Zyra scaling.

Win conditions

Convert clear tempo leads into deep vision and aggressive counter-jungling on Zyra.
Use ranged burst and mobility to force Zyra out of brush, disrupting her zone control.
Coordinate ganks with lanes that can follow up on Zyra's root to secure kills and objectives.

Tip: For Graves vs Zyra, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Jungle lane check.
