| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yorick | Level 1 favours you — you out-trade a low-damage early Zac with Q sustain. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even as Zac gains his Q pull and blob sustain to stabilise. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays skill-based; neither has a clean all-in yet. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yorick | Level 4 is yours — W cage on his E engage plus Maiden out-DPS him. |
| Level 6 | Yorick | Level 6 favours you because his R is a fight tool, useless in a lane 1v1. |
| First item | Yorick | First item is yours as Maiden's sustained pressure beats his blob heal. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two-plus items even out — Zac shifts to roaming and teamfight engage. |
Level 1-2 favour you — Zac is low-damage early and you out-trade with Q sustain and E poke. Watch his Q pull but punish him every time he steps up for a minion.
