Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades heavily due to superior range and Milio's sustain, but post-6 becomes more even as Smolder's R gives him better all-in potential while Zyra's combo threat increases.
- Your range advantage diminishes in value once Smolder hits his power spikes.
Synergy & Trading
- Use auto-Q-auto combos when Smolder steps up for CS, then immediately back off to avoid Zyra's follow-up engage.
- Let Milio buffer your aggression with W and use his E to extend trades when Zyra abilities are down.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push for early level advantages to maximize your range bullying window before Smolder scales.
- Maintain slow pushes to create large waves that force Smolder to CS under tower while avoiding Zyra's all-in angles.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught in extended trades near Zyra plants or when her combo is available.
- Your range advantage means nothing if you walk into her E-W-Q combo range trying to follow up on poke.
