Start with a full clear or a defensive path away from river to avoid early Trundle invades.

Zac's level 6 enables strong teamfight disruption and safe objective initiation.
Respect Trundle's level 6 which makes him a dangerous duelist; avoid extended fights then.
Zac's tank scaling and engage power spike after first major item allows frontline control and objective turns.

Survive early clears and invades to reach level 6 and item spikes for impactful engages.
