Zeri Wild Rift Best Build Guide

Mobile long-fight carry build: Zeri wins when she can keep distance, keep firing, and use time to ramp her damage. The build must therefore preserve her kiting, mobility, and long-duration presence.

Power vs. the roster

Share of the roster this champion outclasses, at each stage of the game.

Early (lv 1-5)15 %
Mid (lv 6-10)57 %
Late (lv 11-15)91 %
Scales into the late game– – roster average
Lv 9 Infinity Edge + Ultimate rank 2Lv 11 Lord Dominik's RegardsLv 13 Stormrazor + Ultimate rank 3

50% = average for the roster at that point of the game, 90% = among the strongest. The three phases come from the site's editorial tempo grid (early/mid/late, rated across 142 champions); the level-by-level curve adds this build's computed spikes — ultimate, completed items — never by more than ±8 points.
