Zac Tips and Tricks

Zac Tips and Tricks

  • When Zac's Cell Division is triggered, an ally can cast Teleport onto one of the blobs.
  • Zac has insanely powerful ganks and he can achieve those by using the combo: Elastic Slingshot, Let's Bounce! and Stretching Strikes if they try to run. It is incredible for early game ganks because Zac can hit an enemy with Stretching Strikes & basic attack a minion or turret to pull them closer to it.
  • Remember to pick up the blobs after casting spells because each blob heals Zac for a percentage of his maximum health.
  • Zac's damage output is very high in comparison to other tank champions. He's able to dish out a lot of area of effect damage and crowd control which makes him an incredible teamfight champion.

Zac Matchups

Zac Jungle Pathing Guide

Jungle Pathing represents the choices jungle players make in regards to when and where to gank, invade or just path towards. It includes how camps and buffs are cleared between ganks, anticipating counterganks, and spotting opportunities for invading. Effective pathing requires deep understanding of your champion's abilities, their interactions, and how both team compositions play into those choices.

Full clear with a Blue Buff start

BLUE Side Zac full jungle clear starting at Blue Sentinel

The recommended jungle path for Zac begins at Blue Buff, using Unstable Matter since it deals high damage with a low cooldown that spawns globs frequently for extra sustain. At level two, unlock Stretching Strikes and clear the Gromp & Wolves. Reaching level three you unlock Elastic Slingshot and continue to Raptors, Red Buff and Krugs. At level four, upgrade Elastic Slingshot and take the Rift Scuttler if you can before looking for a gank on a nearby lane.

An alternative start is leashless Raptors → Krugs → Red Brambleback, which sacrifices some early health allows flexibility in lane pressure and pathing.
