VS

Alistar
Medium
This lane can be tricky for Zyra if Alistar get's a lot of gank pressure. In an isolated botlane 2v2 matchup this is favourable for Zyra, but Alistar with jungle assistance has enough CC to lock Zyra down and burst her quickly. Whenever you have no information of the jungler, play a bit further back to not be in range of his combo. In lategame you want to stand a bit further behind your team and lock him down with your
and zone enemy backline with your
.
VS

Bard
Easy
In my opinion one of the best matchups for Zyra. Bard's short range trades makes it easy for Zyra to always counter with an auto+ to win trades. Much like Alistar however you have to be aware of the gank pressure that Bard offers. Make sure he can never portal behind you/set up his jungler with an easy
and you have an easy time throughout the game.
VS

Blitzcrank
Easy
Super easy matchup for Zyra throughout the game. Whenever he is looking for a hook on you, you can either block yourself with plants to negate his hook or just countertrade with an combo to slow him down with your plant and proc your TLD. Basically Blitzcrank can never get into range to hook you in this matchup which makes it favourable. Just make sure you never throw out your
randomly and let him fully commit to the trade before using it and you're good to go. Abuse your range advantage and it's easy peasy.
VS

Braum
Medium
This can be a tricky matchup for you as Zyra if the Braum lane gets ahead as he can block almost all of your damage with his during short trades. In lane you want to focus on poking his ADC with short
combos and try to stay away from his own minions to not allow him for a
to close the gap with you and just put his
and start going to town. Much like Blitzcrank, use your range advantage and never let him get into range by saving your
until he commits. In later stages of the game one thing you have to be aware of is never facecheck Braum, you can avoid this by calling your jungler to help you secure vision. If you ever run in to Braum in mid/lategame you get oneshot from a
+
stun which will kill you without you being able to react.
VS

Janna
Medium
This can be a tricky matchup for Zyra as you can never fully harass a Janna lane if they play well and super far back. In this matchup you want to focus more on roaming and getting deep vision than abusing the lane matchup. Focus on pushing out your lane then move with either your ADC or jungler to secure vision in the botside jungle. The big disadvantage Janna has is that she can never push a lane, so you have to abuse that by using the time your minions are under her tower to do other things. In mid/lategame this matchup is super easy, but you should never be in range to kill her just her teammates.
VS

Karma
Medium
This is quite a tricky lane but gets easier once laningphase ends. In lane she can match your harass with +autos and always have equal range to you. Your goal in lane is to match her push and never get under your tower so they can easily harass you. After lane you want to set up vision control around the next objective and let Karma facecheck it. If she runs into your
she will be chunked to 30% and if you have backup she definitely dies in your combo. Be aware to never run alone as she can just
her team in to chase you and lock you down with her
, play it smart and play it with your team.
VS

Leona
Easy
This lane is a lot like the Alistar lane. In an isolated 2v2 matchup in bot you will always win against the Leona lane as Zyra, however you have to be aware of when a jungle can back her up. The amount of CC in Leonas' kit allows her to easily set up ganks, and it's basically the only way Leona can get ahead in this lane. Play far back in lane, poking with your +autos constantly, but have enough vision to make sure you cant get ran down by Leona+her jungler. In mid/lategame you want to be REALLY careful of being the closest target to Leona, as you are guaranteed to die from a max range
combo from her. Play behind your frontline like you would against Alistar and respect her range and it's an easy matchup.
VS

Lulu
Easy
This is in my opinion one of the most easy matchups along with Bard. Lulu excells in short-range trades, and Zyra is the best support to counter it. Any time Lulu looks for a +auto combo on you on your carry, just match it with a
+auto combo and you come ahead in the trade with like 200HP. Zyra simply has the extreme range advantage in this matchup, and Lulu can't abuse her shortranged burst trades hard enough vs. her. This goes for all stages of the game, you want to let her come close and start casting spells and clip her in her spell casts with your
to follow up with massive damage.
VS

Nami
Medium
This is a medium/hard matchup for Zyra, it depends on the skill level of the Nami. In my opinion this matchup is extremely annoying for Zyra as she can never get any really good trades in, and any trade that you make with the Nami lane gets healed back to full HP. Much like Karma, you want to get vision control before Nami in the mid/lategame to create easy picks as she facechecks for vision. Play it smart and with your team and you can do well.
