Seven rounds sounds like itвЂ™ll pack a punch in terms of damage, not to mention the extremely short cooldown as long as you get your charges in. It looks like Q max is the way to go, especially given Burst FireвЂ™s active. By charging up, you empower your auto to deliver a slow effect. AD carry players will be quite used to the idea of moving and auto-ing at the same time, though itвЂ™ll be a Q cast instead. The passive mechanic isnвЂ™t too difficult to grasp. Actually, theyвЂ™re kindof the same thing, since her auto will be treated as an ability-the passive form of Burst Fire.

Instead of spamming autos, it looks like bot laners who main Zeri will be spamming Q instead. Its cooldown matches ZeriвЂ™s basic attack timer. Burst Fire scales with AD and is treated like an attack, with the first round applying on-hit effects. Active: Burst Fire shoots a burst of 7 rounds that deal physical damage to the first enemy hit.When fully charged, her next basic attack will slow and deal bonus damage. Moving and casting Burst Fire stores up energy in ZeriвЂ™s Sparkpack. Passive: ZeriвЂ™s basic attack deals magic damage, scales with AP, and is treated as an ability.Breaking the enemyвЂ™s shield could help Zeri escape the opposing ADC boosted by the supportвЂ™s shield, for example. It might also mean Zeri could be a good counter against teams that do use Enchanter supports. This further gives her an advantage when trying to chase down an opponent, so not only do you get to break the enemyвЂ™s defenses but you even get a speed boost to catch up to them. If those buffs stack, youвЂ™ll have one lightning-fast marksman for sure.Д«esides that, the fact that Zeri can gainВ a shield for herself, by damaging an enemy shield, also means she can activate the speed buff herself quite often. Gaining movespeed whenever you have a shield means sheвЂ™ll pair up great with Enchanter supports who also give movespeed like Karma or Yuumi, or even with an Orianna mid. Her passive alone already makes her seem quite a bit overtuned. SheвЂ™ll be a great kiter too, so this adds dimension to how teamfights play out in the mid and late-game. She can chase down kills and sneak away if under threat. Riot designers really envision Zeri as an extremely mobile champion, which probably captures her biggest advantage as a marksman. When she damages an enemy shield she absorbs its energy, shielding herself.

Zeri gains Move Speed whenever she receives a shield.

Zeri Abilities and Gameplay Strategies Passive вЂ“ Living Battery But the real test for mastery will be how quickly players can charge up or get вЂњresetsвЂќ through her Q so ZeriвЂ™s autos are frequently вЂњempoweredвЂќ so to speak.

At the same time, you have a mobility ability (ZeriвЂ™s E) to work with for more strategic repositioning-whether initiating fights or escaping them. As such, youвЂ™ll find plenty of ways to rotate your spells to try and maximize the damage you deal. Like with any other marksman, the champion will be the most threatening when players can combo their attacks and weave in autos where possible, while staying safe. At the heart of it, ZeriвЂ™s kit is all about optimization.
