Comp tier list

Zyra with two emblems: a Blackthorn Emblem makes Blackthorn 4 and an Executioner Emblem Executioner 3, beside Summoner 3 with Azir and Yorick. It places in the lower half at high ranks and needs both emblems to work.

Yorick Malphite Amumu

Veigar

Yunara Zyra Azir Ahri

Overview

Commit only when both of Zyra's emblems are in reach; with either missing, Juggernaut Zyra is the far better home for her. Malphite anchors the front and the Blackthorn lines want him too, so scout for Warwick Reroll and Blackthorn Veigar.
