Zac vs Diana

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Zac must survive early invades and avoid river fights before level 6 to safely reach his scaling power spikes.
Use Zac's long-range (E) to gank lanes with established priority and create pressure through unexpected angles.
Prioritize objective control and teamfight initiation as Zac's tank engage and disruption excel in grouped fights.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing that protects early camps and targets lanes vulnerable to Zac's long-range (E) ganks.
Contest river vision and Scuttle only when lane priority supports safe fights; otherwise, focus on full clears and defensive pathing.
Use Zac's engage and frontline durability to set up and secure dragons and Rift Herald after reaching level 6 and tank items.

Danger windows

Zac is vulnerable to early invades and counter-invades before level 6 due to low dueling and invade resistance.
Isolated river fights before Zac has vision or lane priority can lead to losing skirmishes against Diana's burst and mobility.
Forced smite fights on dragon or Herald without proper team setup or vision control risk Zac being outpaced by Diana's faster clear and damage.

Early game

Start with a full clear or path away from Diana's likely invade to avoid early punishment due to Zac's low invade resistance.
Avoid contesting the first Scuttle Crab unless nearby lanes have priority and can assist in a counter-gank.
Use early clears to position for ganks from fog or walls rather than river paths to maximize Zac's (E) surprise potential.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks Zac's (R) knockup and disruption, enabling impactful teamfight engages and objective control.
Zac's tank scaling improves with items, increasing his frontline presence and objective fight effectiveness.
Diana's level 3 burst combo with (Q)-(W)-(E) demands Zac respect early skirmishes and avoid isolated duels before reaching his own power spikes.

Win conditions

Convert Zac's long-range (E) ganks into lane priority to secure vision and objective control around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use Zac's tank engage and disruption to initiate fights and deny Diana isolated picks or burst opportunities.
Deny Diana free farm and scaling by contesting camps and objectives post-level 6, leveraging Zac's superior teamfight presence.
