Volibear vs Zac

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Volibear's faster clear and strong early dueling to pressure Zac's slower jungle tempo and deny him safe farming.
Force river fights when your lanes have priority to leverage your early game pressure and gank threat.
Focus on snowballing early leads to prevent Zac from reaching his powerful late engage and objective control.

Jungle Plan

Use your fast clears to pressure lanes and invade Zac's jungle camps before he gains levels and vision.
Fight for the first Scuttle when your lanes have priority to deny Zac early objective tempo.
Track Zac's gank angles closely and be ready to counter-gank or push him away from river objectives like dragon and Rift Herald.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Zac's long-range engage and knockups can catch you out.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Zac has lane priority or vision control, as he can initiate strong teamfights.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights are risky since Zac's engage and disruption can turn fights against you.

Early game

Opt for a healthy first clear aiming to hit level 3 quickly and contest or secure first Scuttle if lanes can move first.
Avoid fighting Zac alone early; instead, track his pathing to counter-gank his long-range engages using your stun and shield.
Prioritize river vision and control to block Zac's safe access to lanes and objectives before he scales.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full combo with stun, shield, and healing, enabling strong early duels Zac struggles against.
Level 6 grants your ultimate dive and tower disable, increasing your threat and forcing Zac to respect tower defense.
First bruiser or tank item boosts your durability and sustain, allowing extended trades and objective fights Zac can't match early.

Win conditions

Convert your early clear speed and dueling strength into invading Zac's jungle and denying his farm before he scales.
Use your level 6 dive threat combined with lane priority to force Zac off towers and secure dragon or Rift Herald.
Maintain river vision and track Zac's ganks to counter-gank effectively and keep objective control in your favor.
