Zac vs Amumu

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Zac's long-range (E) and tank scaling make him a strong engage and objective frontline against Amumu.
Zac must avoid early river fights and invades before he gains levels and vision, as he is vulnerable to counter-invades.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears or defensive pathing early to avoid Amumu's counter-invades before level 6.
Fight for Scuttle when your lanes can move first to secure river control and vision.
Use long-range (E) ganks on lanes with priority to create tempo and force Amumu to respond.

Danger windows

Zac is most vulnerable to early invades and isolated river fights before level 6 when his dueling is weak.
Forced smite fights around early dragon or Herald can be risky if Zac lacks vision or lane priority.
Avoid low-health clears near contested objectives where Amumu can capitalize on Zac's limited early dueling.

Early game

Start with a full clear or path away from early invaders to protect camps and avoid early skirmishes.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Use (E) for unexpected ganks from fog and wall angles rather than river approaches.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks Zac's (R) knockup, increasing gank threat and objective fight initiation; use this to force fights before Amumu groups.
Zac's tank scaling after first major item enhances frontline durability, allowing safer objective control.
Amumu's level 6 also spikes his teamfight lockdown; Zac must use engage angles to disrupt Amumu's (R) setups.

Win conditions

Survive early jungle pressure by avoiding risky invades and securing vision around river and camps.
Use long-range (E) to create unexpected ganks on priority lanes, building tempo for objective control.
Translate gank pressure into dragon and Rift Herald control, leveraging Zac's engage and frontline durability to start fights.
