Zac's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Cell Division (P)

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.

Playing as K'Sante

Tips to maximize your impact

Stack your Q on minions
Stack Ntofo Strikes (Q) on minions: after 2 hits, the next cast becomes a shockwave that stuns and pulls, so save it for the champion.
Charge your W through CC
Charge Path Maker (W) when they throw CC at you: while charging, you're Unstoppable and take less damage, then your dash knocks back and stuns.
Join an ally with your E
Cast Footwork (E) toward an ally to protect them or escape: the dash goes much farther, and you both gain a shield.
Send your target through a wall
Knock your target into a wall with All Out (R): they go through it, you follow, and you hit harder at the cost of some of your health and resistances.

Playing against Zac

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Step on his Goo
Walk over the chunks of Goo he sheds: you destroy them, and Cell Division (passive) can't heal him with them anymore.
Spread out after his Stretching Strikes
If Stretching Strikes (Q) grabs you, spread out from your allies and minions: his next auto on one of them flings you into each other.
Interrupt his Slingshot
If you have a stun, a silence, a root or a knock-up, use it while he charges Elastic Slingshot (E): his charge is interrupted before the jump.
Kill all his bloblets
When he dies, kill his bloblets: Cell Division (passive) splits him into 4, and if any remain, he comes back to life. This passive has a 5-minute cooldown.
