Juggernaut Zyra

Juggernaut Zyra is the Juggernaut vertical, fielding 6 of them and treating everything else as glue. Across roughly 39,000 ranked games on patch 18.2 it averages a 4.49 finish, good for Tier A.

In the wider field it ranks #14 of 54 by placement — 9th of the 15 boards holding that tier, right on the Tier A median of 4.48. At a 4.1% pick rate — the median comp sees 0.91 percent — this is one of the lobby's popular lines, so scout before you commit.

Zyra holds item priority, and recorded games favor double Archangel's Staff and Hextech Gunblade on it (a 3.88 average once assembled). Maokai comes second in the item queue.

The final board keeps 6 traits active, led by Juggernaut (6); Summoner (3) is the biggest supporting piece. Scuttlecrab marks this comp out — only 2 other tracked comps field it. Blackthorn sits dormant here at 1 unit — one Blackthorn Emblem activates the 2-piece bonus outright.

If the Armory or an augment offers one, Blackthorn Emblem is the emblem this board wants most, and Primal Emblem takes second. Asked the other way — “I found a Blackthorn Emblem, what do I play?” — this board ranks #4 of the 14 comps our model scores for it.

Inferno Draven and Executioner Malphite share the Zyra core with Juggernaut Zyra; if another player commits to Zyra first, one of you should be pivoting.
