Zac Top Lane Matchups

Zac lore:

Zac is the product of a toxic spill that ran through a chemtech seam and pooled in an isolated cavern deep in Zaun's Sump. Despite such humble origins, Zac has grown from primordial ooze into a thinking being who dwells in the city's pipes, occasionally emerging to help those who cannot help themselves or to rebuild the broken infrastructure of Zaun.

Zac tips:

  • Picking up goo chunks is very important to staying alive.
  • When Cell Division is ready, try to die in a position that makes it difficult for the enemy team to kill your bloblets.
  • Charging Elastic Slingshot from the fog of war will give opponents less time to react.

Playing Against Zac

  • Zac heals from the goo that separates from him. You can crush the goo pieces by stepping on them.
  • Kill all of Zac's bloblets when he splits apart to stop him from reforming.
  • Silences, stuns, roots and knockups will all interrupt Zac when he is charging Elastic Slingshot.

Zac abilities description:

Cell Division
P
Cell Division (passive)
Each time Zac hits an enemy with an ability, he sheds a chunk of himself that can be reabsorbed to restore Health. Upon taking fatal damage, Zac splits into 4 bloblets that attempt to recombine. If any bloblets remain, he will revive with an amount of Health depending on the Health of the surviving bloblets. Each bloblet has a percentage of Zac's maximum Health, Armor and Magic Resistance. This ability has a 5 minute cooldown.
Stretching Strikes
Q
Stretching Strikes (Q)
Zac stretches an arm, grabbing an enemy. Attacking a different enemy will cause him to throw both targets towards each other.
Unstable Matter
W
Unstable Matter (W)
Zac explodes outward towards nearby enemies, dealing a percentage of their maximum health as magic damage.
Elastic Slingshot
E
Elastic Slingshot (E)
Zac attaches his arms to the ground and stretches back, launching himself forward.
Let's Bounce!
R
Let's Bounce! (R)
Zac bounces four times, knocking up enemies hit and slowing them.
