Abilities
When you hit enemies, you drop blobs. Pick them up to heal. When you 'die', you split into 4 pieces. If they survive for 4 seconds, you revive. Always keep an eye on the cooldown before taking risky dives.
Slap an enemy, then auto-attack a different enemy (or minion/ward/tower) to slam them together. This is a double-target CC. You can a champion and then auto a nearby minion to pull the champion out of position.
An AoE burst that deals % Max HP damage. Picking up blobs reduces this cooldown by 1 second. In fights, spam this every time it's off cooldown while pathing over your blobs.
The core of your kit. Charge it up to launch yourself. The longer you charge, the further you go. Use this from fog of war so enemies don't see the landing indicator until it's too late.
You bounce 4 times, gaining movespeed. The first hit on an enemy knocks them up, and further hits slow them. This also generates a lot of blobs for massive mid-fight healing.
Teamfight Role

Tips & Tricks
- •You can use while mid-air during to apply damage the moment you land.
- •Your blobs prioritize flying toward enemy champions; use this to track people in bushes.
- •Always use from behind walls or out of vision. If the enemy sees you charging it, they will just walk away.
- •You can Smite while in your revive state to secure objectives or heal if you have the jungle item.
- • can be used on wards. If you're chasing, drop a ward and the enemy then the ward to slow them.
- •The cooldown of is reduced by picking up blobs even if the ability is already ready, so keep spamming it.
Common Mistakes
- ✕Using and accidentally bouncing enemies to safety.→The enemy escapes a guaranteed kill and your team wastes their follow-up abilities.
- ✕Not picking up blobs during a fight.→You lose over 30% of your effective health and die much faster than you should.
- ✕Charging while standing on a ward.→The enemy will CC you mid-charge, putting the ability on a long cooldown and leaving you vulnerable.
- ✕Attempting to 1v1 the enemy jungler early game.→You will likely die and lose your jungle pressure, as Zac is one of the weakest early duelists.
- ✕Using on the same target twice.→You fail to get the slam/pull effect, wasting your most reliable form of displacement CC.
