Zac vs Udyr

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Zac must survive Udyr's early invade pressure and avoid early river fights to reach his scaling frontline power spike.
Use Zac's long-range (E) to gank from unexpected angles and create tempo for objective control later.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize controlled full clears and path toward lanes vulnerable to Zac's long-range (E) ganks.
Use fog and wall angles for ganks to bypass Udyr's lack of long-range engage and capitalize on his medium gank threat.
Delay invading Udyr until after level 6 when Zac's tank engage and disruption scale better for objective fights.

Danger windows

Early game before level 6, Zac is vulnerable to Udyr's fast clears and strong dueling in isolated river fights.
Forced smite fights on early objectives are risky if Zac lacks lane priority or vision control.
Low-health clears or extended jungle duels before tank stats and team follow-up expose Zac to Udyr's invade pressure.

Early game

Start with a full clear or a safe path away from Udyr to avoid early invade punishment.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Avoid isolated river fights early where Udyr's fast clear and dueling threaten Zac's low early dueling.

Power spikes

Zac's level 6 unlocks (R) knockup and (E) engage, increasing gank threat and objective fight initiation.
Udyr's early levels grant strong dueling and fast clears, so Zac must respect invade windows before reaching level 6.
Zac's tank scaling and frontline durability peak mid to late game, enabling stronger objective fights and teamfight disruption.

Win conditions

Survive early game by avoiding Udyr's invade and counter-gank with lane priority support.
Use long-range (E) to create gank tempo and force Udyr off camps, enabling Zac to secure dragon and Herald.
Leverage Zac's scaling tank engage and disruption to start and win grouped objective fights and teamfights later in the game.
