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 Sett

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Start trades with Knuckle Down

    Start your trades with Knuckle Down (Q): you rush toward your target, and your next two autos deal bonus damage based on their max health.

  2. Haymaker after taking damage

    Cast Haymaker (W) right after taking damage: the stored Grit gives you a shield and extra damage, dealt as true damage in the center of the punch.

  3. Don't back too early

    Don't back too early at low health: Pit Grit (passive) increases your health regen based on your missing health.

  4. Stand between two enemies

    Stand between two enemies before Facebreaker (E): grabbed from both sides, they're stunned, otherwise only slowed.

  5. Slam their tank onto their carries

    Grab their tank with The Show Stopper (R) and slam them onto their carries: the damage around the impact depends on the bonus health of the target you grab.

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.
