When Safe trades during laning

1. AutoBasic attack→
2. WSlow→
3. AutoBasic attack

Tip Land W for the slow, then continue attacking from a clear angle. Zeri's basic attack damages only the first enemy in its path, so minions can block the intended target.

When Close-range burst to secure a kill

1. WSlow→
2. EEmpower dash→
3. AutoPierce→
4. AutoPierce→
5. AutoPierce→
6. RBlast

Tip Slow with W, dash with E, and use the next three piercing empowered attacks before finishing with R. E empowers only those three attacks and the effect lasts 6 seconds, so delaying them wastes the damage window.

When Chasing a fleeing enemy after the R speed buff

1. RActivate→
2. EDash→
3. AutoPierce→
4. WWall pulse→
5. AutoPierce

Tip Land R to gain movement speed and attack speed, then use E to keep the empowered attacks in range. Firing W through terrain transforms it into the stronger pulse for additional damage and a heavier slow.

When Strong ranged poke while hugging a wall

1. WWall pulse→
2. QFinish→
3. AutoBasic attack

Tip Fire W into a wall to trigger the empowered pulse for heavy damage and slow, then finish with Q — a takedown refunds 50% of its cooldown so Zeri can keep poking.
