| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Volibear | Level 1-2 is yours as your stat block and Q slow out-trade Zac's blob poke. |
| Level 2 | Volibear | Level 2 stays yours as he leaks health stepping up to poke. |
| Level 3 | Volibear | At 3 your full Q-W-E combo out-DPS his kit in every trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Volibear | Levels 4-5 you keep the edge fighting when his E disengage is down. |
| Level 6 | Volibear | Level 6 your R beats his duel window and keeps dive pressure on him. |
| First item | Volibear | First item still favours you as a bruiser duelist over an early tank Zac. |
| Two+ items | Zac | Late game Zac out-scales with blob resets and R knockups you can only answer by grouping. |
Levels 1-2 are clearly yours: your stat block and Q slow out-trade Zac's early blob poke, and he leaks health every time he steps up to Q you. Deny his passive blobs by standing on them so he can't heal the exchange.
