Vi vs Zac

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Vi's high early pressure and fast clear let her contest Zac's slower tempo and force early river fights.
Focus on using (Q) and (R) lockdown to punish Zac's low early dueling and invade resistance.
This is a snowball matchup where Vi must convert early picks into dragon and Herald control before Zac scales.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing through camps near lanes with flash down to maximize gank threat with (Q) and (R).
Invade Zac's jungle early when he shows on full clear or after a gank to punish his weak early dueling.
Use vision control around dragon and Herald to force Zac into teamfights where Vi's lockdown secures objectives.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Zac's (E) and (Q) pull can catch you off guard.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Zac's team has lane priority and vision control.
Low-health clears expose Vi to Zac's invades; maintain health and vision to reduce forced smite fights.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear if early lanes can assist ganks, else full clear to keep pace and avoid Zac's counter-invades.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Zac's long-range (E) ganks.
Avoid river fights without vision or lane priority since Zac can engage from unexpected angles.

Power spikes

Level 6 is a major spike; Vi can secure guaranteed picks with (R) lockdown before objectives.
First completed jungle item enhances Vi's dueling and objective control, allowing safer invades and skirmishes.
Zac's scaling into late game makes early dragon control critical to deny his frontline engage power.

Win conditions

Use early ganks with (Q) and (R) to force Zac onto the back foot and deny his jungle tempo.
Translate picks into secured dragon and Rift Herald to snowball map control and limit Zac's scaling.
Track Zac's pathing to counter-gank and invade safely, leveraging Vi's faster clear and dueling to maintain tempo.
