Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Miss Fortune have a meaningful level 2 spike when you get W — your sustained healing and E empowerment let you win attrition trades that Zyra cannot sustain through, and Smolder has no real kill threat early.
Post-6, you win if you land your R to set up Miss Fortune's R, but Zyra's R is an equal or greater teamfight tool and she will look to interrupt Miss Fortune's channel.

Your best pattern is to E Miss Fortune before she Q pokes, then use W to heal through Zyra's plant damage and keep the pressure going — the goal is to force Zyra to burn her E defensively rather than offensively.
When you land Q, immediately E Miss Fortune and let her run them down with W passive speed for a full trade.

You should roam when Miss Fortune shoves the wave and Zyra is overextended or has used her E recently — your Q and R are high-impact roam tools and mid lane will appreciate them.
Optimal timings are after a successful all-in that burns Smolder's flash or after crashing a wave at level 6 with your R available.

Do not use your W reactively only for healing — proactively E Miss Fortune before trades begin so the empowered attacks do real work.
Also avoid standing in a position where Zyra can root you with E+Q and then R you, as you are immobile and will die before you can heal yourself.
