Nasus into Zacmedium

Overview

Prioritize safe full clears to reach level 4 before contesting river or Scuttle crab.
Avoid early invades as Zac has strong early gank threat and you have low invade resistance.
Focus on scaling through stacking and use durability to outlast Zac in extended fights.

Jungle Plan

Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first and provide support to avoid isolated fights.
Use lane priority to force Zac away from river fights and invade his jungle camps when he commits to ganks.
Secure early dragon vision and objective control to leverage your scaling and force Zac into reactive plays.

Danger windows

Zac's early invade window before level 4 is dangerous; avoid isolated jungle fights and respect his long-range engage angles.
Isolated river fights without lane priority are risky; contest Scuttle or objectives only when allied lanes can follow or counter-gank.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights around early dragon can be lost if Zac has vision and lane control; maintain health and vision before committing.

Early game

Start with a full clear path to safely hit level 4 before contesting Scuttle or river control.
Avoid early river fights unless your lanes have priority to support counter-ganks against Zac's long-range ganks.
Track Zac's jungle path with vision to prepare counter-invades when he commits to the opposite side.

Power spikes

Level 6 grants durability for extended fights; hold ground if Zac commits but avoid fights he can disengage.
High stacks create a major dueling threat; pressure side lanes once stacks and are available.
Zac scales as a tank and engage frontline; outscale by stacking and choosing fights wisely after level 6.

Win conditions

Convert safe early clears and vision control into counter-invades on Zac's camps to delay his scaling.
Use lane priority and high stacks to pressure side lanes, forcing Zac to respond and opening objectives.
Leverage superior late-game dueling and durability to win extended fights and secure dragon or Rift Herald with team support.
