Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (6,136 games).
Zeri, The Spark of Zaun, fires Burst Fire as her attack and vaults over terrain with Spark Surge, and Lightning Crash overcharges her for a fight. Nearly all counted Master+ Zeris ran Lethal Tempo, and Yun Tal Wildarrows, Runaan's Hurricane, Infinity Edge was by far her standard build. Xayah and Draven beat her most often. Jhin and Caitlyn she was favored against.

Close the gap early — it wins at range and at three items — neither before ten minutes
Punish the cooldown — Zeri is exposed while its rotation is down
Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one
Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 6/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average
Trade on your terms — take the fight where its damage lands on nobody

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Zeri in 7 patches. The latest is patch 26.18, published 2026-09-09.
WUltrashock Laser
Zeri has been slowly climbing in winrate with the recent Runaan's Hurricane and Yun Tal Wildarrows buffs. She now sits very high in winrate compared to her historical resting, which is worrying for a champ that is so skill intensive. As she has also begun showing up in pro, we expect she has a high chance of becoming meta dominant, so we are pulling some power out of her burst and waveclear.
QBurst Fire
RLightning Crash
Zeri’s new direction and feel have seemed really promising across tiers, but with her winrate being lower as players take time to adjust their playstyle and itemization (looking at you Stormrazor, not looking at you Shiv!). We want to make Zeri speed gaming more accessible!
P - Living Battery
QBurst Fire
WUltrashock Laser
ESpark Surge
RLightning Crash
Zeri's changes have pushed her over time to become more of a bursty assassin than the fantasy that initially called to many of her players. By moving power from her burst and late-game DPS towards her mobility and early laning, these changes should allow Zeri to shine once again as the zappy, speedy legend she is (while still doing ADC damage!)
WUltrashock Laser
ESpark Surge
RLightning Crash
We're updating Zeri's E to crit exactly as a basic attack would, which means re-tuning some of her abilities to make room for that power.
RLightning Crash
Zeri's in a relatively weak spot with pretty much no presence in pro play as well as a generally low pickrate. We want to bring her back toward those glory days of being one of the fastest ADCs in the game, so we're buffing her top-end move speed during her ultimate.
RLightning Crash
Zeri’s another champion that can be shocking when she makes it into the pro scene. Since she’s all about creating those electrifying moments, we’re giving her a bit more power into her ultimate which is when she should truly shine (both figuratively and literally).
RLightning Crash
Though Zeri's numbers look reasonable, she has completely fallen out of the bot lane meta despite being popular in the past, so we're giving her a shot in the arm. We're juicing her high-power team fighting to make her live out those carry fantasies better.
Riot's data lists 7 looks for Zeri with their own art, the base skin included and 40 chroma variants.
