Playing as Zac

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Smash them into each other

    After Stretching Strikes (Q) on one enemy, hit a second enemy with your auto: you fling them into each other, and if they collide, they and those nearby take damage.

  2. Pick up your Goo

    Pick up the chunks of Goo you shed when your spells hit: Cell Division (passive) heals you for each one, and Unstable Matter (W) comes back 1 second sooner.

  3. Charge your Slingshot out of sight

    Charge Elastic Slingshot (E) from the fog of war: the enemy has less time to react, and the longer the charge, the longer the knock-up on landing.

  4. Bounce into the middle of them

    Cast Let's Bounce! (R) into the heart of their team: the first bounce knocks back each enemy hit, the following ones slow them, and you can cast Unstable Matter (W) at the same time.

Playing against K'Sante

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his third Q

    After two Ntofo Strikes (Q) hit you, back off or dodge the next one: it becomes a shockwave that stuns and pulls.

  2. Step out of his charge's line

    When he charges Path Maker (W), get out of its line: nothing stops him while he charges, then he rams straight ahead and his dash knocks back and stuns.

  3. Don't fight with your back to a wall

    Don't fight with your back to a wall when he has All Out (R): if he knocks you into it, you go through, he hits you again and follows, far from your team.

  4. Focus him during his R

    Focus him during All Out (R): he loses max health, bonus armor and bonus magic resist, but heals off his damage, so don't drag it out.
