Jarvan IV vs Zyra

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use early (E)+(Q) ganks to punish Zyra's immobility and force flash cooldowns.
Prioritize river control to deny her brush and plant zone dominance.
Leverage your strong engage to trap Zyra or her ADC around objectives.

Jungle Plan

Path to lanes with low mobility or no flash to maximize (E)+(Q) gank success.
Use early ganks to create lane leads and secure dragon or Rift Herald setups.
Counter-invade when (E)+(Q) is available and enemy jungle is spotted on opposite side.

Danger windows

Avoid fighting when (E)+(Q) is on cooldown; your engage and escape are severely weakened.
Respect Zyra's level 2 root and plant poke timing in river and bot side jungle.
Beware isolated river fights without lane priority; Zyra's zone control punishes poor positioning.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear targeting lanes with crowd control or immobile carries.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky fights.
Avoid invading Zyra without vision, as her root and plants punish overextensions.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: (E)+(Q) combo enables strong ganks; force early flashes and repeat ganks.
Level 6: (R) lockdown traps Zyra or enemy jungler, securing objectives or dives.
First tank or fighter item: enhances frontline presence to lead teamfights and objective control.

Win conditions

Convert early gank pressure into dragon and Rift Herald control using your engage to trap enemies.
Deny Zyra jungle camps by invading with vision and (R) lockdown to force smite fights.
Use frontline presence and lockdown to create picks or force committed teamfights around objectives.

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