Hecarim vs Zyra

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use Hecarim's fast clears to maintain jungle tempo against Zyra's slower jungle pathing.
Prioritize punishing overextended lanes where Zyra's lack of mobility limits counterplay.
Leverage high mobility to countergank and secure objective control before mid-game spikes.

Jungle Plan

Path to camps pushed by lanes likely to overextend, enabling fast ganks with (E) and (R).
Contest Scuttle only when your lanes can move first to avoid Zyra's poke and root setups.
Use speed to counter-jungle after forcing Zyra off camps or after successful counter-ganks.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early when Zyra can root and zone with plants.
Respect level 2 root plus plant poke timing to prevent early counter-invades or ganks.
Be cautious during low-health clears as Zyra's poke and root can punish overcommitment.

Early game

Full clear quickly, then contest Scuttle Crab only if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early river fights without lane priority to reduce risk from Zyra's root and plants.
Reset tempo before Dragon or Herald to use (R) for impactful objective engages.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) fear for strong teamfight engages and objective control.
Fast level 3 clear enables early ganks before Zyra's full seed control and root threat.
Mid-game item spikes increase dueling and skirmish power to pressure Zyra's immobility.

Win conditions

Convert fast camp cycling and gank pressure into securing Dragons and Rift Herald.
Use (R) to initiate fights from fog, catching Zyra and ADC out of position.
Deny Zyra jungle tempo by counter-jungling camps after forcing her off with superior mobility.

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