another useful tip that I tend to use pretty often is that you can full clear a ward that has just been placed with Q auto Q before it turns invis

[@meethepie]

Definitely feels like she's gonna be an incredibly strong proplay champ with high skill ceiling, mid/bot flex picking, insane safety and map mobility from E, W granting vision, and ult becoming more powerful the longer fights go and the more peel she gets.

[@dreamsmadeflesh1]

Her damage is probably one of the lowest for ADCs though, if you wanted decent teamfights with AOEs Jinx is a much safer option. She'll probably get a few nerfs but I don't think pro will switch to her exclusively. Also, one bit of CC and you're very, very dead, even with bruiser builds.

zeri not only has weak damage output if you somehow didnt get pretty fed, literally anyone who --is not tank and--(please ignore this line tanks can one shot her too) doesn't severely feeds can one shot you, laning in bot with zeri is a torture too, many adcs can just both outrange/outdamage her and not outranging ones can just one shot you because you are too squishy, i cannot believe zeri's stats because playing as zeri feels like i have negative resistances by default. also enemy adc can attack you behind minions and you can do nothing about it, for anyone who will say "YoU CaN PrEss E fOr PiErciNg ShoTs", congrats, now you have absolutely no way of saving your life because you just put your only small little dash that can save you from possible bad things into 15-20 second cooldown, to be able to Q your enemy three times for %80 damage, and now that enemy knows you just wasted your E and they will.. i would say "skin you alive" but idk if your skin is exist because zeri can only fight feeding enemies rn in tf touching any kind of cc is certain death, cc thing is same in laning too, btw did i mention zeri is squishy enough to get one shotted by 1/6 master yi Q? in conclusion: playing zeri is painful zeri needs buff

This video needs as much attention as possible, best Zeri guide I've seen yet

[@Elessar00]

Let me add a couple little details: You can clear control wards even if you don't have vision of them. If you know where the control ward is inside the brush, just q that place 4 times, it hits. Soraka is a huge counter, since her silence is like a blind for Zeri. She can't use Q when Soraka puts her E down on her. Taunt also work weird; normally champs keep auto attacking the taunter (like Shen when he uses E), but Zeri just keeps using the weak right-click auto of hers, so you don't do any damage, but it's not as big of a deal.

[@ericdacosta3271]

I would complain about wards, it's true that u can delete wards without needing to see it, but it is only applied with the ones u buy, yellow ones, if I'm not wrong, stays there till u get oracle, i don't remember getting the gold u get after destroying it without oracle

I feel bad the timing of the video. FYI to anyone who wants to play zeri Go Triforce > Bork > either hydra most likely titanic. You get more single target damage but less aoe.

[@flashfire1259]

Sunderer is always a good option into resistance stacking tanks and black cleaver zeri stacks it extremely fast so that's also good.

[@CloudXIl]

You always want to go triforce because she needs all the stats it provides. Also, sunderer is getting nerved and It doesn’t provide AS which she needs. You want to go either hydra or ruunans next, they are core it it isn’t up for debate. Runnans for stacking her passive, hydra because it double procs on her Q which means double stack for her passive. The rest is up for debate and situational

[@Kyrolysis]

You didn't include the weird bard portal E from alcove that Zeri can use too. Also Zeri Bard duo sounds insane. Even if they follow your escape portal, Zeri can just E back over the portal again. And then take the portal again if they somehow bridge the gap a second time

[@anarchyraf5679]

You can also dumpster stealth wards level 1 with Q+auto+Q and similarly with pinks with just an extra auto at the end. I would only recommend if you really wanna deny vision or have low auto charge already.

[@anarchyraf5679]

Little correction, using autos on wards does not consume passive charge.

[@skaarlner]

Right click is always worth of opponent/minions are below 30% hp as dmg spikes enormously

[@ericdacosta3271]

I only play zeri (played around 130 games since start) and another thing u can do if wanna go critic is buying navori since for each stack u do with ur ult on, reduces E cd from 1 - 3 seconds when hitting only one champ, and in team fights, with runan and critics applied on ur statick passive of ur r, u have E every 2 hits, so if u get hydra, u are all the time hitting enemy back lane (in addition to all the mobilitat u have with ur e)

Also amumu is a counter as well. Her Q auto each bullet will be reduced by amumu's passive. It's an intented interaction per riot.

It just deals dmg like normal auto, so the speed would be the same, or slower if compared to other ADC due to her overall low dmg. It doesn't increase her dmg to shield (like Shadowflame) She just gain 60% of the shield she damaged to it (aka shield drain)

[@ginpotion2412]

Being a Lux main feels like it helps a lot with Zeri's W. I'm always trying to figure out where the enemy champion will be in ETA .5 to 1 second so I can deploy my laser there and hope to land it while on the move. And just like Lux, Zeri is in another level when it comes to CSing. If you miss don't canons and play to farm you can easily hit the 200 CS without any effort which snowballs allowing you to stack your items ( preferably damage build ) to almost or all out one shot enemies with the W. Even if Zeri's W is nerfed in the upcoming patch, she's still gonna remain an important champion especially with the Yuumi comp.

[@St4rr_Z]

i think you are correct doesnt seem intended

[@Baba_Lemonade]

He means autoing when not at full charge. Because, when you're on low mana, you can spend some of the charge and still gain a lot more than you'd spend, thus reaching the full charge that you want. If you're not on low mana, your autos will expend more of the charge and will be harder to reach the max charge which is your burst auto.

[@skellymon1771]

I cant seem to get used to how zeri q functions when aiming. If aiming to the left of your character the right side of the hitbox is against the tip of the cursor and if you aim to the right then the left side of the hitbox is against the tip of the cursor making it a tiny bit off every time you q unless you compensate for this fact. Every other ability in the game (that i know of) has the center of the abilities hitbox at the tip of the cursor. In team fights this tiny discrepancy transitions to multiple misses unless you mindfully compensate for it which i find hard to do especially because it changes which side it fires on every time you switch each quadrant your aiming at

How should you optimize using auto attacks? Is it better to add in auto attacks when they're low or just spam q?

[@devilix123987]

Depends where your priorities are at I think. - Her Q and AA have independent cds, so when you are solo killing someone for example - you can alternate between the two to kill them faster. - But in a team fight setting, if you can kill someone with Q's (which will be doing noticeably more damage at this stage) you can space more safely, and focus on fully charging your AA for the next target. I think it's something that can ebb and flow from situation to situation, you just need to get better at identifying these things yourself on the fly.
