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 Ornn

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Pillar, then Searing Charge into it

    Cast Volcanic Rupture (Q) behind your target, then Searing Charge (E) into the pillar: when you hit that terrain, enemies around you take a knock-up.

  2. Bellows Breath before your trade

    Cast Bellows Breath (W) before your trade: nothing stops you during the breath, and the final burst of flame makes the target brittle, so your next auto knocks them back.

  3. Send your elemental back

    Recast Call of the Forge God (R) to ram the elemental: redirected, it knocks the first champion it hits into the air, then the next ones, and makes them brittle again.

  4. Forge your allies' masterworks

    Create masterwork items for your allies as soon as you can: Living Forge (passive) upgrades their items too, not just yours.

Playing against Zac

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
