Read from Camille's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Zac.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You both have weak level 1s, but his goo blobs out-sustain your poke — start W and only commit a trade if you can step on the blobs after to deny the heal. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Stretching Strikes is an attack reset as well as a pull, so its wind-up is the tell — hold your 16s Hookshot for it rather than facechecking a long fight. |
| Level 3 | Camille | W's outer edge deals max-HP damage and heals you off him faster than his blobs refill — win the short trade and stamp the blobs to keep your lead. |
| Levels 4-5 | Camille | Your re-cast Q true-damage hit plus W%-HP out-chunk a stat-stick tank that has no burst back — short trades favour you as long as you deny his blob heals. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | R isolates him away from his team and his loose blobs so he can't Slingshot out — a clean even-skill window where positioning, not stats, decides it. |
| First item | Camille | Sheen into Trinity Force makes your Q reset and E stun lethal before he completes Sunfire or Thornmail — force the all-in now while he's still squishy for a tank. |
| Two+ items | Zac | Full-build Zac revives from a blob and his E knock-up out-values your single-target burst — don't try to solo-delete him, split and let your team handle the front line. |
Levels 1-2 are a clean skill phase — the blobs he sheds on ability use heal back anything you poke, so don't burn HP unless you can step on them after to deny the pickup. Start W for the outer-edge max-HP damage and self-heal, and respect Stretching Strikes: it is an attack reset as well as a 14s pull, so the wind-up is the tell. Unstable Matter nukes you at point-blank every 5s. Don't facecheck for a wall angle before Hookshot is up — eat a 21s Elastic Slingshot with no escape and the poke trade becomes a fight you lose.

Camille, slightly — a 51.55% win rate edge over 291 games; execution can flip it.
Mostly — Camille has a small statistical edge (51.55% win rate), but execution decides this lane far more than the pick does.

Camille takes Conqueror on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, and Sorcery secondary (Nimbus Cloak and Transcendence) vs Zac.
Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Trinity Force (Sheen → lethal Q resets) first, then Black Cleaver / Sundered Sky, with Plated Steelcaps.
