Master Yi vs Zac

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears to maintain item tempo and avoid early river fights unless lanes can move first.
Focus on farming toward your major power spikes and avoid early CC-heavy skirmishes where Zac's engage threatens you.

Jungle Plan

Path for full clears and prioritize cross-map camps to maintain tempo and avoid Zac's early gank angles.
Contest Scuttle only if your lanes have priority and Zac is visible on the opposite side of the map.
Track Zac's pathing to counter-gank his early ganks, then use your reset potential to clean up fights after his engage is committed.

Danger windows

Zac's early invade attempts before he has levels and vision create high risk; avoid fighting him early.
Isolated river fights are dangerous due to Zac's long-range (E) engage and knockup combo.
Objective setups where Zac can initiate first put you at risk; avoid contesting without lane priority or vision advantage.

Early game

Start with a full clear route to reach safe reset timing and item progress without losing tempo.
Only contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority and can assist in countering Zac's long-range engage.
Avoid early invades or isolated river fights where Zac's (E) and (Q) can catch you off guard.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for chase and reset potential; enter fights only after Zac's CC is used to maximize cleanup.
First item spike increases your sustained damage and objective speed; keep camp tempo high to reach this quickly.
Zac's scaling tank and engage power rise later; respect his frontline durability and avoid early forced fights.

Win conditions

Use superior clear speed to reach item spikes faster and punish Zac's slower tempo by invading or counter-jungling when safe.
Wait for Zac to commit his CC in fights, then enter with (Q) and (R) to reset and clean up low-health targets.
Control vision around dragon and Rift Herald to deny Zac's engage setups and force fights on your terms.
