Zac vs Fizz

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Zac must survive early invades and avoid isolated river fights before he builds tank stats and vision control.
Use Zac's long-range (E) to gank lanes from unexpected angles and create pressure beyond river paths.
This matchup is a scaling frontline versus an early burst assassin; Zac aims to reach teamfight power while denying Fizz tempo.

Jungle Plan

Focus on controlled pathing to lanes vulnerable to Zac's long-range (E) ganks rather than river-centric routes.
Avoid early river duels unless Zac's lanes collapse first, then use (E) to counter-gank or secure objectives.
Use vision and lane priority to set up objective control around dragon and Rift Herald, leveraging Zac's tank durability and engage potential.

Danger windows

Zac is vulnerable to early invades and isolated river fights before gaining tank stats and vision control.
Avoid forced smite fights or objective contests when low health or without lane priority, especially before level 6.
Be cautious around Fizz's level 3 and 6 windows when his burst and mobility peak, increasing counter-gank risk.

Early game

Start with a full clear or a defensive path away from Fizz's likely early invades to avoid losing camps or health.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and can assist to avoid risky isolated fights.
Prioritize protecting early camps and tracking Fizz's jungle path to anticipate his ganks and counter-gank effectively.

Power spikes

Zac's major spike comes with reaching tank stats and level 6, enabling impactful (R) disruption and frontline engage.
Respect Fizz's level 3 power spike when he unlocks his full engage combo with (Q)(W)(E); avoid giving him spacing or cooldown windows.
Track Fizz's level 6 ultimate availability to avoid lethal all-ins and time Zac's engages for safer counterplay.

Win conditions

Win by surviving early pressure, then using Zac's long-range (E) to create gank tempo and open lanes for objectives.
Leverage Zac's tank engage and disruption to secure dragon and Rift Herald fights once team vision and lane priority are established.
Deny Fizz free farm and scaling by counter-jungling safely and forcing him into unfavorable fights after Zac's power spikes.
