Tips

  • Zealot, AdAPt, and Zeri's Q passive can form a possible infinitely scaling build.4
  • Fulmination and Statikk do not work together with Zeri because her auto fires five attacks at once.5

Interactions

  • With autocast, Zeri can use E to kite while Wildfire, Fox-Fire, and Sivir Q move around the map.6
  • During the round loading period, Zeri can use Q to hit the dummy; keeping R active while doing so can let her start the round with R still active.7
  • Rice and X augments do not work on Zeri's Q, which is treated as proc damage.8
  • Max Ethereal with full AP, Marksmage, and Moonflair can deal heavy damage on Zeri.9
  • With Chauffeur, shaking can change where Zeri's Q lands.10

Bugs

  • Rice and Chicken has no effect on Zeri's Q bullets or Zap passive: it adds no damage, cooldown, or healing effect. Whether this is a bug or intended is unclear.11

Earlier formats

  • Zeri no longer went above the attack speed cap with Slow and Steady after patch 25.23.13 8x2 duos
  • Zeri's Q cast time was not increased by Slow and Steady.14 8x2 duos
  • Slow and Steady interacted with Zeri's Q passive: attack speed could exceed its cap, granting attack damage through the conversion while Slow and Steady also granted attack damage.15161718 8x2 duos
  • Moonflair Spellblade interacted with Zeri's passive so that attacks could reset the attack cooldown, allowing near-infinite attacks depending on clicking speed; Magic Missile could trigger from those attacks.1920 8x2 duos
  • Slow and Steady with Zeri was almost certainly a bug.21 8x2 duos
  • A bug involving Zeri and Slow and Steady was attributed to Sword of Divine; selling the item made the bug go away, though how it worked was unclear.22 8x2 duos
  • Zeri's Q did not cancel a movement command, which could make kiting easier.23 8x2 duos
  • Zeri could use Fruits of Your Labor to eat plants quickly by dashing through walls.23 8x2 duos
  • Relentless no longer triggered from Zeri's Living Battery attacks.24 8x2 duos
  • Slow and Steady was awkward to play but still very strong for Zeri, with little counterplay for opponents because of itemization; Crit and Pen were easy to get.25 8x2 duos
  • Zeri was played with Twilight's Edge, Gunblade, Statikk, and Vulnerability.26 8x2 duos
  • Full crit, Urf's Spatula, and Vulnerability were used together on Zeri.27 8x2 duos
  • Zeri's Q had a fixed 1-second cooldown with Slow and Steady, even with ability haste or more attack speed.28 8x2 duos
