Viego vs Zac

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Viego should leverage his medium early pressure and strong dueling to contest river fights where lanes can assist in securing the first takedown.
Prioritize skirmishes that can trigger resets to snowball, avoiding isolated fights before item power spikes.
Manage tempo by shadowing volatile lanes for counter-ganks rather than committing to blind invades against Zac.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes with strong CC or priority to secure first takedowns and enable reset chains.
Contest Scuttle Crab and river vision when allied lanes can collapse to deny Zac's gank angles.
Use counter-ganks around Zac's early gank attempts by tracking his pathing and shadowing lanes with priority to punish his low invade resistance.

Danger windows

Zac's early invade attempts before Viego reaches item power can punish overextensions; avoid solo river fights without lane support.
Isolated river skirmishes are risky before Viego's resets are online; wait for lane collapse or numbers advantage.
Objective fights without vision or lane priority can force smite contests unfavorable to Viego; prioritize setup and vision control before engaging.

Early game

Start with a stable clear to hit level 3 and reach river skirmishes on time without risking early invade losses.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support and secure the takedown.
Avoid early isolated river duels before having item progress or lane priority to prevent being punished by Zac's long-range engage.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks execute and reset mobility, enabling Viego to finish low targets and reposition aggressively; look for skirmishes to chain resets.
First fighter item spike enhances sustained dueling and reset potential, allowing longer fights and objective pressure around moving lanes.
Zac's scaling into tanky frontline with long-range engage means Viego must leverage his spikes to snowball before Zac becomes uncatchable.

Win conditions

Convert river skirmish resets into secured dragons and Rift Heralds by coordinating with lanes that have priority.
Use strong dueling and reset threat to deny Zac free farm and scaling by invading safely when Zac is on the opposite side of the map.
Leverage (W) stun and (E) camouflage to set up ganks and counter-ganks, snowballing leads into objective control and teamfight access.
