Zac Item Build

TANK LOADOUT · ZAC

Pairing Sunfire Cape with Spirit Visage turns Zac into a tank that can remain inside the fight after the first landing. Elastic Slingshot sends him into the enemy group, where three slams slow and knock up nearby enemies through Let's Bounce!

Smite and a defense-heavy mastery spread frame Tank Zac, with Madred's Razors opening a core that runs through Sunfire Cape and Warmog's Armor before Randuin's Omen. Stretching Strike starts the skill order; Unstable Matter follows, leaving Elastic Slingshot for last.

Tank Zac Build

Tank

Madred's Razors and a Hunter's Machete open Zac's first build, and that is an unusual place for either to appear. The rest of it is orthodox: Sunfire Cape, Warmog's Armor and Randuin's Omen behind Spirit Visage. The second build keeps Spirit Visage and Warmog's Armor but adds Rabadon's Deathcap with a Rylai's Crystal Scepter, treating Unstable Matter as damage rather than sustain, and it takes Boots of Mobility. Cell Division rewards both for the health they buy, since the blobs scale against maximum health. Only the second page carries Guardian Angel.

AP Tank Zac Build

AP Tank
AP Tank Zac pairs ability power with a durable core when you want more offense without giving up defensive coverage.

Rylai's Crystal Scepter and Rabadon's Deathcap carry the ability-power side, while the rest of the core remains defense-heavy. Stretching Strike (Q) stays first in the skill order, with the launching ability advanced before the nearby eruption. The mastery spread commits twenty-four points to Offense and only three to Defense, reinforcing the build's aggressive tilt.

Our methodEvery Zac build here is reviewed by our editors before it ships. When a patch, balance change, or update touches Zac or the items in these builds, this page is re-reviewed and updated.
