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 Rengar

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Fight near brush

    Fight near brush: from a brush, Unseen Predator (passive) makes your next auto leap onto the enemy.

  2. Roar after taking damage

    Cast Battle Roar (W) right after taking damage in a trade: it heals you for part of the damage taken in the last few seconds.

  3. Pick your empowered spell

    At max Ferocity, pick your empowered spell: Savagery (Q) for damage, Battle Roar (W) to break free of CC, Bola Strike (E) to root.

  4. Hunt down an isolated carry

    Cast Thrill of the Hunt (R) to find an isolated carry: it reveals the nearest enemy champion, then camouflages you and lets you leap without brush.

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.
