Zac Build 26.22

Zac is elastic engage in champion form. His E charges a long-range slingshot that flanks from the fog and knocks up on landing, his Q grabs a priority target and flings them out of position, and the blob passive lets him die, split, and reform if his team follows up. A comfortable pick at 51.8% and trending up, he lives to start fights on his terms rather than win a straight duel.

When Is Zac Strongest?

The high point is the late game, so every extra minute helps, and games at this rank average around 28 minutes. Zac is a tempo tank whose ganks and engages snowball hardest through the early and mid game. Use that window to start picks, fling isolated targets into his team, and convert crowd control into objectives before the enemy carries out-scale his damage.

Zac Item Build

Zac is a rubbery engage tank who dives the back line and splits into blobs to fight on after he falls. The build stacks health, resistances, and ability haste so his grabs and jumps come back fast, his blobs give him more to reabsorb, and he soaks punishment for his team.

Best Zac Runes

Conqueror is built for the way he opens a fight, jumping in first and soaking the damage so his team can pile in behind. His kit is all engage and disruption rather than personal damage, and the keystone backs that dive up so he survives being the one who starts it. Go full tank on the rest, so his slingshot threat has a health bar behind it.

No one spike defines the game, so just play it straight. Build toward Hextech Rocketbelt into Sunfire Aegis so his engages stick and he lives through the follow-up. Once Sunfire Aegis comes online by roughly 15 minutes, his slingshot dives stop being a coin flip and start reliably locking down whoever he lands on. Get it, then look for the flank.

Zac Skill Order

Unstable Matter opens at level 1 and takes a chunk of enemy max health with every pop, then Elastic Slingshot claims 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 to reach five ranks by nine. Stretching Strikes holds the point it took at 2 until level 14.

Zac Abilities

Unstable Matter is his damage, an explosion that carves a percentage of nearby enemies' max health off in one pop, and every ability he lands also sheds a blob he can walk over to heal. Let's Bounce is the four-hit finisher, bouncing across a group and knocking up everyone it touches.

Zac Matchups

Zac lives to start fights, so his tough matchups are enemies who can burst him before he reaches a target or heavy crowd control that stops his engage before it lands. Grouped, immobile teams he can slingshot into and fling together let his all-in hit multiple targets and swing the fight.

Nunu & Willump, Hecarim, and Rammus punish his engage before he lands it, poking his blob down or waiting out his E so the dive falls flat, so scout their cooldowns before you commit. Catch one of them out of position with Q and the fight tilts fast. He feasts on Sejuani, Qiyana, and Ambessa, so hunt that group down, since a clean slingshot onto them starts a fight his team finishes.
