Wraith Zac positioning
A starting board for Wraith Zac. Drag units to adjust it, switch to the anti-assassin layout when the lobby has divers, and copy the Team Planner code into the TFT client.
- Corner Varus on the back line and put K'Sante in front of it.
- Split Varus and Malzahar across the back line so a single area spell can't hit both.
- K'Sante, Poppy, and Darius hold the front line — put the tankiest one opposite the enemy carry.
- Against assassins, step your carries up one row and leave Zac and Kobuko in the back corners as bait.

Strategic Tips
Economy

Itemization
Build Jeweled Gauntlet, Bloodthirster, and Hand Of Justice on Zac.
When to pivot
Scout at 2-1 and 3-2: if two or more players hold your core units, or you haven't found any by 3-2, move into one of the comps on the Similar Comps tab instead of forcing Wraith Zac.
