Learn how to Zac counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Place deep wards in the jungle and river rather than just in bushes — Zac can jump over standard ward spots with his E from super long range (1800 units at max rank).
Lane Phase
Look to fight Zac after he uses his E — this ability has a long cooldown (10-22 seconds) and is his only mobility tool, making him vulnerable once it's used.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Step on Zac's green chunks when they drop to deny his healing and prevent W cooldown reduction — each chunk heals him for 4-8% of his maximum health.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Maintain distance from teammates when fighting Zac — his E and R can knock up multiple targets, while his Q can slam two champions together for CC chains.
Team Fight Skirmish
Keep distance from allies and minions when Zac lands his Q on you — his crowd control is much stronger if he can grab a second target and slam you together.
Lane Phase Skirmish
When Zac's passive triggers, focus on killing his bloblets quickly — damage to the bloblets is redirected to Zac as true damage, and he dies if all bloblets are destroyed.
Basic Skirmish Team Fight
Fight Zac in open areas rather than jungle corridors — enclosed spaces make his E harder to spot and dodge, while making it easier for him to hit multiple targets with his abilities.
Skirmish Team Fight
Play more defensively when Zac reaches level 3 — this is when he unlocks all his basic abilities and his gank potential significantly increases.
Basic Lane Phase
Use mobility abilities or Flash when you see Zac's ultimate animation starting — there's a 0.3-second cast time before the knockbacks begin, giving you a brief window to escape.
Advanced Team Fight
When Zac is taking Scuttle Crab, he typically uses his E to kill it quickly, leaving him without his key mobility tool for 10-22 seconds.
