Zeri is an electric League of Legends AD with unique abilities. While she does a lot of damage like your traditional shooter, she still has a lot of innovative features. Our comprehensive Zeri guide will help you customize your champion with her best builds, runes, and some tips and tricks.
Zeri finally made it to Summoner's Rift in League of Legends 12.2 update, and Spark Zaun headlining the patch. With wisps of electrical energy held deep under her large coat, she can blow it open to cause massive damage.

Who is Zeri?
Zeri, the 158th League of Legends Champion, hails from Zaun. She is a wayward and short-tempered girl from a family of Zaunian workers who shoots electric charges from a special cannon. This electricity is born from the emotions of the girl, embodying her explosive temperament and sparkling approach to life. Zeri is full of compassion for others. In battle, she always remembers her home and loving family. And although enthusiasm sometimes goes sideways to her, Zeri firmly believes in one thing: stand up for your people - and they will stand up for you.
In Zeri Summoner's Rift, the girl can play both as a bot lane carry and as a single lane carry.
Zeri's abilities and gameplay
Zeri has a unique attack pattern for shooters in League of Legends where her main attack is really an ability. Her Q Burst shooting, splits her main attacks into two parts: an auto AP scaling attack, which is treated as an ability, and an AD scaling skill shot, which is treated as an attack. Confusing? We know!
This turns Zeri into a pseudo-Ezrael where you constantly spam Q to deal most of your damage (Zeri needs to be constantly aimed at the enemy), while shorter range auto attacks exist for utility (it slows down). Your Q cooldown is also based on attack speed, but it ends when you hit 1,5 attacks per second. This means that in order to optimize the Zeri build, you have to be close to the limit, since the bonus AD conversion is not great.
The rest of her kit thrives on her electric personality. With great mobility in an infinitely stacking movement speed reaching top speed and a dash that would make Talon jealous of her E, Zeri can quickly bypass the Summoner's Rift. Once she's in the middle of a fight, she's nearly impossible to block without crowd control.
Her laning phase suffers due to her short range. However, as soon as it hits the elements of the landscape, it jumps over or flies around them - depending on the angle. This makes her both a formidable solo laner - she can get out of hand in tough situations - and a bot carry (although she can struggle with longer-range AD carries in the later game).
Be sure to use your W ult to lead him into the fight to stalk enemies and then kite around them with your butch, attacking at intervals to cut through enemies like butter.
Burst [Q]. Passive: Zeri's auto attacks deal magic damage, scale with ability power, and count as skills. By moving around and using Burst Fire, Zeri energizes his electric pack. When the charge reaches maximum, her next auto attack slows the target and deals additional damage.
The Coordinating Staff of Volyn Regional Football Association has actively: Zeri fires a burst of 7 projectiles that deal damage to the first enemy hit. Burst fire scales with attack power and counts as an auto attack, and the first shot applies on-hit effects. The cooldown of the skill corresponds to Zeri's auto-attack timer.
Pulse Discharge [W]. Zeri unleashes a bolt of electricity that slows and damages the first enemy hit. If a charge hits a wall, a long-range laser beam radiates from that location.
Crazy Spark [E]. Zeri dashes a short distance and empowers her next 3 bursts of Fire, causing projectiles to pass through enemies. If Zeri hits a piece of terrain while dashing, she jumps over or circles around it, depending on the angle. When hitting champions with basic attacks and skills, she reduces the cooldown of Wild Spark.
Short circuit [R]. Zeri blasts energy, dealing damage to nearby enemies and briefly overloading herself. While overloaded, Zeri's damage, attack speed, and movement speed are increased. When attacking enemy champions, she refreshes the duration of the effect and gains movement speed again. While the skill is active, all burst damage is concentrated into three projectiles, and when it hits an enemy, a chain lightning appears that hits additional targets.

Zeri may require you to spawn to play as her (and a few keyboards once you wear out the Q key), but when used correctly, she can turn the game on its head.
Just remember to never stop moving, be precise with your attacks and you'll easily capture the Summoner's Rift.
