Zac vs Bel'Veth

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Zac must survive early invades and avoid river fights until he gains tank stats and vision control.
Use Zac's long-range (E) to gank from unexpected angles and create pressure before Bel'Veth scales.
This matchup favors scaling and objective control over early dueling; focus on teamfight impact and engage potential.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing toward lanes vulnerable to Zac's long-range (E) ganks rather than predictable river routes.
Use lane fog and wall angles to set up ganks and avoid direct confrontations with Bel'Veth early.
Focus on objective control by setting vision and engaging around dragon and Rift Herald once tank stats are sufficient.

Danger windows

Zac is vulnerable to early invades before level 6 and without vision; avoid isolated river fights during this time.
Forced smite fights around dragon and Herald are risky if Bel'Veth has lane priority or better health.
Beware of Bel'Veth's scaling window after first item and objective takedowns, where she becomes a strong duelist and skirmisher.

Early game

Start with a full clear or a defensive path away from early invaders to avoid losing camps.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to back up counter-ganks.
Avoid early river duels unless your lanes collapse or you have clear vision advantage to punish.

Power spikes

Zac's major spike comes with tank items and level 6, enabling impactful (R) knockups for teamfights and objective control.
Bel'Veth's first item spike increases her dueling threat; avoid extended fights around this timing.
Herald or Baron empower Bel'Veth's map pressure; Zac must convert these fights into vision and objective control to prevent snowball.

Win conditions

Survive early jungle pressure and use (E) to create gank tempo on lanes with priority.
Leverage Zac's engage and tank scaling to secure dragon and Rift Herald fights, turning objectives into map control.
Deny Bel'Veth free farm by contesting camps post-objective and forcing her into teamfights where Zac's disruption excels.
