Introduction
Introduction
Heyy, I am Erknaite! I am Grandmaster, peaked 599 LP playing exclusively
Zac with 63% winrate reaching Rank 4 Zac EUW. I have been playing League since Season 8, I have 4 million points on Zac and I strive to be the best Zac OTP in the world.I made this guide due to a lack of updated guides on Season 13 and a big amount of requests from people wanting to learn Zac.
In this guide I will explain runes and item builds. However I won't go in depth with how to play Zac mechanically because he is not that mechanically demanding to begin with, however, there's a video at the bottom covering that.

Itemization
The Erknaite Build Template
I came up with this build template that anyone can use for Zac in their games with the objective of being simple, straightforward and successful.
It was made with the intention to balance all the stats you need against each type of team compositions with maximum efficiency. Item order can vary depending on your needs throughout the game, you don't have to follow the image restrictly, it's just a way to guide you.
Early Core Items
Armor Items
Magic Resist Items
Health and
AP Items
The
Rabadon's Deathcap of the Tanks

Early Core Items
|
|
Mosstomper Seedling Mosstomper Seedling provides shield and tenacity. It's a good pet vs teams with burst and/or CC. You don't need to buy Health Potion because Zac's clear is healthy enough and it's better to save that tiny bit of gold for your early spikes.
|
|
|
Dark Seal Dark Seal is the best item in the early game for Zac as it provides you free 55 AP when you reach 10 stacks which is fairly easy to do on a Tank like Zac that has very low deaths. You may ask, why is 55 AP that good on him? Zac has one of the highest AP ratios in the game specially on his Unstable Matter which has a 3% max HP per 100 AP ratio. You only sell the item when you buy your 6th item.
|
|
|
Fated Ashes Fated Ashes is a really strong component early game that provides you AP and a massive amount of clear speed. |
|
|
Bami's Cinder Same as Fated Ashes except it provides you with HP and Ability haste instead of AP. |
|
|
Ionian Boots of Lucidity Ionian Boots of Lucidity are a must to rush after Liandry's Torment / Sunfire Aegis as Zac scales exponentially with ability haste. more Haste = more Abilities = more Blobs = more Abilities = more Blobs ... which increases your damage and sustain significantly. |
Armor Items|
|
Randuin’s Omen Randuin's Omen is very effective vs Crit champions like ADCs and some Melee champions such as Yasuo, Yone and Tryndamere.
|
|
|
Thornmail Thornmail is very good vs Heavy Healing auto attack based champions and draintank items such as Blade of the Ruined King.
|
|
|
Knight's Vow Knight's Vow is a good alternative when you need to enable a carry on your team as it provides them damage reduction and the damage they deal to enemies is converted as healing to you.
|
|
|
Unending Despair Unending Despair is a good option if the other
Armor items above are suboptimal. It provides you with great sustain especially after the buffs to its passive cooldown.
|
Magic Resist Items|
|
Spirit Visage Spirit Visage is arguably one of the best items in the game for Zac as it provides you healing amplification which makes you WAY much tankier.
|
|
|
Abyssal Mask Abyssal Mask is an alternative when your team is AP Heavy as it provides you 30%
Magic Resist shred. |
|
|
Force of Nature Force of Nature provides you with a ton of magic resist and a decent amount of movement speed. Consider buying this against comps that want to disengage away from you.
|
Health and
AP Items|
|
Liandry's Torment Liandry's Torment is a really good as a 1st item rush on Zac. Its burn helps with clear a lot and provides you with great damage early game.
|
|
|
Warmog's Armor Warmog's Armor is an amazing option if the enemy team has a lot of percent penetration which would make Jak'Sho, The Protean a much weaker option
|
|
|
Riftmaker Riftmaker is a good alternative AP option for Zac in long fights against tankier targets as it provides you with 10% damage amp and 10% omnivamp [100% effect in AoE] when fully stacked and it converts your bonus HP into AP. |
|
|
Cosmic Drive Cosmic Drive is the best AP option when the enemy team is mostly squishy and can kite you easily as it provides you a lot of movement speed and ability haste.
|
|
|
Morellonomicon Consider buying Morellonomicon if the enemy team has non-auto attack based heavy healing such as Soraka, Vladimir and Aatrox.
|
|
|
Mejai's Soulstealer Mejai's Soulstealer is the cheapest AP option you can get, although risky, it has a very big reward giving you up to 145 AP at 25 stacks for only 1250 gold (considering you already have Dark Seal).
|
The
Rabadon's Deathcap of the Tanks|
|
Jak'sho, the Protean Jak'Sho, The Protean is insane on Zac as it provides health
and a lot of
Armor and
Magic Resist with its 30% resistances amplification! It's the equivalent of Rabadon's Deathcap for Tanks.
