Zyra into Vimedium

Overview

Prioritize vision and brush control around river to limit Vi's early gank angles.
Use plants and root to zone Vi during jungle pathing and objective contests.
Avoid direct early fights without lane priority since Vi's dash enables strong early skirmishes.

Focus on pathing to secure Scuttle when lanes can assist, denying Vi easy river access.
Use brush control and plant zones to slow Vi's jungle path and punish her when she oversteps.
Prioritize objective vision and setup around Dragon and Rift Herald to leverage Zyra's zone control.

Avoid isolated river fights before level 3 when Vi's dash and early ganks are strongest.
Respect Vi's level 6 lockdown for forced fights around objectives.
Be cautious when clearing low health camps as Vi can punish with strong early dueling.

Start full clear to match Vi's high clear speed and avoid early invade risks.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to reduce counter-gank threat.
Delay river control fights until after level 3 when root and plant control improve safety.

Level 2 unlocks root plus plant poke, increasing early skirmish threat; use it to contest camps safely.
Level 3 completes kit, enhancing brush control and root threat; leverage this for safer invades and counter-ganks.
Level 6 ultimate turns fights into zone control, punish Vi's engages by forcing her through plants.

Convert brush and plant control into vision dominance to deny Vi safe invades.
Use root and ultimate to set up ganks and counter-ganks with laners who can follow up.
Leverage superior zone control in objective fights to secure Dragon and Rift Herald advantages.
