How to win lane as Zac against Sion · 54.67% win rate over 225 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sion | Level 1 Sion's Q wind-up and shield out-trade Zac. |
| Level 2 | Sion | At 2 his charged knock-up punishes any Zac commit. |
| Level 3 | Sion | Level 3 Sion still wins trades through shield sustain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | By 4 it evens — Zac can dodge Q and trade with W. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 5 both tanks stalemate with no solo kill. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item stays even; neither out-damages the other. |
| Two+ items | Sion | Late, Sion's R-Q CC chain and undying passive out-scale Zac. |
Levels 1-3 favour Sion: his charged Q knock-up and shield W let him win any trade where you commit E, so don't slingshot into a wind-up — farm and only punish after he whiffs the Q.
