League of Legends: Guide to Play Zac in the Jungle

The enemy hit by Stretching Strikes will receive damage and slow, and will also be marked for one second. If Zac hits a basic attack on any other being, he will lift them both and cause a crash between them.

You cannot aim your Q at a plant or a sentinel, but the basic attack after hitting the enemy with the skill works, and you will stun them.

W: Unstable Matter

Zac causes an explosion in an area close to him, causing damage based on the target 's maximum health, very effective against tanks. This skill is your greatest source of damage, since it recharges fast.

Notice in the video below that the slimes left by his passive recharge your W cooldown in a second.

E: Elastic Slingshot

The most impacting skill from Zaun’s Secret Weapon! His E is a jump which throws the enemies it hits in the air, the more you evolve this skill, the longer its reach. It is great for tanks, chasing and escaping. See in the video how this skill is also useful to jump over walls.

R: Let’s Bounce!

Let’s Bounce is Zack’s ultimate, basically he will jump four times, and the first jump landed on each enemy will throw it up in the air. It’s worth mentioning that you can move freely during the ultimate, and hits also generate slimes from his passive.

Combos

Zac’s combo is simple, its objective is to use E to get to enemy carries, usually the ADC and MID, maybe the Support (in case it is a peel for the ADC). After that, use W and Q, hit a basic attack on any other champion to stun them both with your Q and finalize it with the ultimate.

During the ultimate, focus on getting the slimes while you’re in the air, and when you hit the ground, hit the champions. Use W as much as you can, getting the slimes will help you with that.

The most common thing is seeing this champion with Aftershock, but I learned, from another mono Zac, a more hybrid approach to the champion, which also focuses on his damage potential. So, my first rune is First Strike! Since we jump on enemies, it’s usually us who start contact in team fights, that alongside First Strike makes us get some extra gold, and also raises our damage.

It is very different, and I have myself witnessed many teammates signaling or commenting negatively about this rune. But don’t worry, if you want to be more aggressive you can trust this approach, and on the contrary, choose Aftershock which is more common and leans only towards defense.

Version using First Strike:

Play for your team

Even possessing great tools for team fights, Zac needs a damage partner, wait for your team’s cooldowns on their important abilities to move them alongside yourself.
