The best supports to play with Zeri in LoL

Zeri is one of the newest ADC champions brought to League of Legends. Ever since her release, she was considered an overpowered champion, to the point where Riot had to nerf and tweak her far too many times in the span of a year.

In season 15, she is currently not in the best state as her weak early game can be greatly abused. Additionally, she’s highly reliant on specific support champions to unlock greater potential and make the “one plus one is greater than two” work.

If you’re not sure which champions you should be playing with her, we have compiled a full list of champions that are 100% guaranteed to work with Zeri. We will also be looking at the key strengths and weaknesses of these bot lane duos, so you know exactly what to expect.

Lulu – the no. 1 support for Zeri

If you watch lots of professional League, you probably know that Zeri and Lulu are a formidable duo. There are specific reasons why the two are so strong together, despite both champions currently being in a weak spot.

Just like most enchanters, Lulu has a shield that she can spam on Zeri, allowing her to tank incoming damage. On top of that, Lulu also has the choice to either boost Zeri’s movement speed or polymorph an enemy with her W.

In case these two abilities aren’t enough, she can also cast her ultimate on Zeri, granting her more health and size, and knocking up nearby enemies. Overall, Lulu has lots of tools to protect her AD carry. Regardless of what she does with her abilities, Lulu enables Zeri by giving her more room for kiting and essentially making her take over the games.

Yuumi – The alternative to Lulu

Given that Lulu and Zeri are a known bot lane duo, there are high chances that the support is banned, forcing you to play other champions with Zeri. For this reason, we recommend going with Yuumi, the best alternative to Lulu.

First, Yuumi boosts Zeri in every single way, giving her great peeling ability as well as all the tools to make sure she can use her DPS around the fights. The magical cat provides good crowd control and can run around with Zeri untargeted while also granting her extra stats.

If they are engaged on, Yuumi just needs to boost Zeri’s movement speed and enjoy the kiting show, destroying the enemy team. On top of that, Yuumi is one of the few champions that can run two summoners spells like Exhaust and Ignite since she doesn’t need Flash.

Zeri and Yuumi, however, have a great common weakness: their early game. Forget about getting any lane priority or early objective control because this bot lane is one of the weakest pairings, especially when it comes to dealing damage. If you want to win, just chill and wait for Zeri to scale later on.

Karma- the rising support pick

Throughout the past few weeks, Karma has risen as one of the best enchanter picks in the meta. And she happens to work well with Zeri too.

The main upside of this combination is Karma’s ability to boost Zeri’s survivability and nimbleness thanks to her E. On top of that, she can help making up for the ADC’s poor laning phase by adding extra poke to make sure she can farm well early on. The only thing to pay attention to is the bot lane matchup: avoid it against bully enemy bot laners and punish them.

Nami – the meta support pick

Even though she’s usually not picked with Zeri, Nami has been one of the strongest enchanter supports in the meta, making her a valuable partner for the Spark of Zaun.

The synergy of this bot lane duo comes from Nami’s ability to provide extra healing during early game trades and the crowd controls to disrupt enemies’ movements. Both of them give Zeri more time to focus on dishing out damage and stack up the passive.

That being said, the two are quite squishy and can struggle against diving team compositions. Be aware of the enemy jungler’s movements and ward surrounding areas.

Thresh – a versatile support for Zeri

To round off the list, we have Thresh, who is the balanced version between an engager and a peeler champion. His particular kit offers a mix of tools that come from both types of champions: he can go in but also help fend off enemies from jumping on Zeri.

During the early game, try to weave in auto attacks while the enemy bot lane farms and look for short trades when you hit the hooks. Once you get a good health advantage or minion wave, play more aggressively to deny farm and experience. If a good opportunity opens up, use it to take down the enemies. Otherwise, play a slower game and allow Zeri to build more items.
