Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 poke trades but have superior all-in potential if you can land W-Q combo.
- Post-6 your engage becomes more reliable, but you need to be careful of Bard R disrupting your combos or saving Miss Fortune.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for W-Q opportunities when Miss Fortune steps forward to Q or when Bard moves up for trades.
- Your E healing helps sustain through their poke, but you need Zeri's follow-up damage to make trades worthwhile.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Avoid roaming early as Zeri needs protection from Miss Fortune's Q poke and Bard's stun threat.
- Only roam when you have a clear numbers advantage elsewhere and Zeri can safely farm under tower.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't engage without checking Bard's R cooldown, as he can easily save his ADC or turn your engage against you.
- Missing your W-Q combo leaves Zeri exposed to their superior range and poke for 15+ seconds.
