Build Comparison

This Zac burst mage build is optimized for players looking to maximize their impact in League of Legends. Its 58.0% win rate comes from only 333 games, so treat it as an observation rather than a proven edge. The build's key strengths include strong physical damage mitigation and substantial health pool for survivability. Choose this build when your team needs magic damage, especially if teammates are primarily AD-focused. Zac with this build can punish teams that stack armor. The armor in this build makes it effective against AD-heavy enemy compositions with champions like assassins or marksmen. However, be aware that this build limited ability haste may result in longer cooldowns. With a total gold cost of 14,850, this Zac build scales into the late game. Focus on farming efficiently and reaching your Thornmail, Sunfire Aegis, and Spirit Visage power spike before taking major fights. For optimal results with this Zac build, focus on proper itemization timing, positioning in teamfights, and adapting your situational items based on the specific challenges each game presents.
