Zeri ADC Guide: Mastering League's Lightning-Fast Marksman
Living Battery (Passive): Absorbing shields from enemies grants movement speed, while allied shields boost Zeri's speed.
Q - Burst Fire: Primary damage source that fires 7 shots, counts as basic attack. Movement while firing charges energy for empowered right-clicks.
