Abilities & tips
Open an ability to read its effect and a practical use tip.
PLiving Battery
Zeri's Attacks deal magic damage and are treated as Abilities. Moving and casting Burst Fire stores up energy in Zeri's Sparkpack. When fully charged her next Attack deals bonus damage.
Watch the activation condition and attack timing. Practise the empowered action separately so it is not lost during a rushed sequence.
QBurst Fire
Burst Fire shoots a burst of 7 rounds that deal attack damage to the first enemy hit. This Ability is treated as an Attack.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
WUltrashock Laser
Zeri fires an electric pulse that slows and damages the first enemy hit. If the pulse hits a wall it expands into a long range laser.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
ESpark Surge
Zeri dashes a short distance and energizes Burst Fire to pierce through enemies. She will vault and grind over any terrain she touches.
Read the effect and its conditions, then practise it alone. Build your sequence around the effect you can reliably reproduce.
RLightning Crash
Zeri discharges a nova of electricity and overcharges herself, gaining increased damage and stacking Move Speed that refreshes and gets stronger every time she hits an enemy champion. While overcharged, Burst fire becomes a faster triple shot that chains lightning between enemies.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.

With Zeri, start with Burst Fire, then continue through Basic attack → Spark Surge → Ultrashock Laser → Burst Fire → Basic attack → Burst Fire. Use this exercise to watch Living Battery while performing the shown actions. Check when its effect becomes available rather than assuming every attack has the same result.

Game plan by role
Zeri · Bot
Coordinate trades with your support and keep last hits consistent. Stand where you can attack without stepping into both enemy players’ threat range.
Collect safe farm while staying close enough to join your team. Check the map before crossing an exposed side lane for one more wave.
Keep dealing damage to an accessible target while tracking enemy engage tools. A safer sustained position is often better than chasing a distant carry.
Before your next fight, check: Burst Fire · Lightning Crash · Combos
06
Matchup preparation
Compare opponents in the build for the role you are actually playing. Then check their key control, escape and defensive spells before choosing your trade.
07
Practice checklist
- Cast each ability alone and identify its range, target conditions and stopping point.
- Practise the first sequence slowly. Repeat it while moving, without skipping the conditions shown on its card.
- After each attempt, identify the spell you would still have available to defend or retreat.
