Fiddlesticks vs Zac

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears to reach level 6 quickly and avoid early river fights against Zac's strong early gank angles.
Use post-6 ultimate ambushes from fog of war to control objectives and punish Zac's predictable engage angles.

Jungle Plan

Execute full clears efficiently to hit level 6 before Zac can pressure and then look for fog-based (R) ganks on overextended lanes.
Contest Scuttle Crab only if lane priority favors you and avoid early river duels without vision control.
Counter-jungle Zac's camps when he shows on the opposite side or after he commits to ganks, leveraging your faster clear speed.

Danger windows

Zac's early invade window before level 6 is dangerous; avoid isolated river fights without lane priority or vision.
Forced smite fights around dragon can be risky if Zac initiates with (E) knockup; ensure vision control and lane priority before contesting.
Low-health clears after extended pathing make you vulnerable to Zac's long-range engage; reset or avoid fights during these moments.

Early game

Start with a full clear path to maximize tempo and avoid early Zac invades when lanes lack priority.
Only contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky isolated fights.
Use resets to sweep vision and prepare for objective setups before dragon or Rift Herald fights.

Power spikes

Power spike at level 6: use (R) to ambush and force Zac's team into unfavorable fights.
Zac spikes with (E) and (R) for long-range engages; respect these by positioning safely before level 6.
Your very high clear speed allows tempo advantage early; use this to deny Zac farm and force him into defensive paths.

Win conditions

Convert faster clears into level 6 power spike to secure fog ambushes and force Zac's team off objectives.
Deny Zac free farm by counter-jungling when he commits to ganks or shows on the map.
Use vision denial and ultimate engages to control dragon and Rift Herald fights, leveraging your teamfight scaling to win post-6 skirmishes.
