Who Wins

  • You win pre-6 through superior poke and mobility, as Zac lacks reliable engage tools and has high mana costs early.
  • Post-6 you maintain advantage since your R resets allow you to outplay his telegraphed R engage, though you must respect his gank setup potential.

How to Trade

  • Trade with Q poke followed by E-W-E out combos when his Q is on cooldown, as he cannot reliably stick to you without it.
  • Avoid extended trades since his passive sustain will eventually out-heal your burst if the fight drags on.

Wave Control

  • Push waves aggressively early to deny his passive blob collection and force him to use mana on waveclear rather than trades.
  • After 6, maintain push priority to roam before he can match your map presence with his superior teamfight utility.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't greedily chase kills when he's low, as his passive revival can turn fights around, especially with jungle proximity.
  • Avoid fighting in minion waves where his E bounce damage is amplified and he can easily collect passive blobs.
