Zac vs Wukong

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Zac should avoid early river fights and invades against Wukong due to low invade resistance and weaker early dueling.
Focus on using long-range (E) ganks from fog and walls to create pressure and build tempo around lanes vulnerable to Wukong's engage.
This matchup is a scaling frontline versus mid-game diver; Zac must survive early and leverage teamfight disruption later.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing toward lanes where (E) ganks can bypass wards and create pressure before Wukong hits level 6.
Avoid early invades until Zac has levels and vision advantage; instead, secure camps and prepare for objective fights.
Focus on controlling vision around dragon and Rift Herald to set up engages and force Wukong into reactive plays.

Danger windows

Zac is vulnerable to early invades before level 6 due to Wukong's dueling strength and mobility.
Isolated river fights before Zac's team can respond are risky because Wukong's (E) and (R) can turn fights quickly.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights near contested objectives can be punished by Wukong's clone deception and engage.

Early game

Start with a full clear or defensive path away from Wukong to avoid early invade pressure.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to back up and prevent being punished.
Use (E) for unexpected gank angles after first clear rather than river paths Wukong can contest.

Power spikes

Zac's level 6 unlocks strong engage and disruption with (R), enabling impactful teamfights and objective control.
Wukong's level 6 spike with (R) increases his threat in river skirmishes; Zac must respect this until he matches levels.
Zac scales into a durable frontline that excels in grouped fights, so prioritize reaching mid-late game to maximize impact.

Win conditions

Survive early clears and avoid risky river contests to reach level 6 and gain access to Zac's long-range (E) engages.
Use (E) ganks to create lane pressure and secure vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to force favorable teamfights.
Leverage Zac's tank scaling and crowd control to frontline and disrupt Wukong's engages, enabling your team to win objectives and fights.
