Do not force smite fights early without lane priority; Zac's tankiness can outlast you on objectives.

Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes have priority to avoid Zac's long-range engage angles.
Avoid isolated river fights early without vision and lane support to dodge Zac's pull and knockup.

Zac's threat rises after level 6 with knockup and tank stats; avoid isolated fights then.
