Tips & Tricks
- Zac mainly wants Jeweled Gauntlet. Outside of that, good items include Omnivamp (BT, HoJ, Gunblade), Striker’s, Archangel, and Rabadon’s
- Usually radiant items and artifacts are the best way to power up a hero augment champion, but the stats on Zac with radiants and artifacts does not look that strong so generic combat augments are likely better if you can get the craftable build.

Economy Strategy
- Do not spend gold on leveling this stage. If you have 2-stars and a good item, you can consider playing to win some rounds. Otherwise lose streak is common for stage 2.
- Roll to 33 gold, buying any unit that will be part of the level 4 or 5 board. You can also buy units that will be part of the level 6+ board, but you can sell those if your bench fills and you need to buy other units. Rolling to 33 gold is advisable because it allows you to save back up to 50g by 3-5.
- Do not level if you haven’t hit your 3-star 1-costs yet. If you have your 3-stars, you generally should still stay level 5 if you can win or if leveling to 6 would put you below 20g. Try to get above 40g this round.
- Ideally above 50g, level 5 at this point or level 6 with 3-stars.
- If you haven’t hit your 3-stars yet, roll to ~52g each turn. You don’t want to roll to perfect 50g as any units you buy in shop will put you below 50g. If you have 8+ copies of an itemized 1-cost, you can roll to 40g or 30g every round instead. Level to 6 once you hit your 3-stars.
- If you haven’t hit your 3-stars yet, you must roll until you hit them. You should level to 6 after hitting. In some rare games, you will miss or spend so much gold you can never catch up. These games will usually result in bottom 4 placements.
- Level to 7 if you can stay above ~20g. Otherwise stay level 6.
- Level to 7.
- Level to 8 if you are in bottom half of lobby HP and are losing rounds. If you are higher HP and feel stable, you can wait until next turn.
- Level to 8 if you haven’t already. Roll for any remaining units necessary for the comp. If stable, you can try to go 9. Most games you will end on level 8.
- Level to 9 whenever possible. This is rare, but can happen in the games you have a chance of winning.
Max Vitality is so bad, the value Colossal gives immedietly compared to stacking Max Vitality is 10x, Not Done Yet is a better power up imo, since your zac is most likely gonna die early anyways, more potenital than Max Vitality by a mile
this comp sucks. Don’t be misguided.
Really strong but Yuumi hard counters this, got 4th with BIS and insane opener in a lobby with 2 yuumi players
I’ve played this line from protagonist a few times, just wanted to add that I think Max Vitality is very outclassed – since so much of your power is within Zac himself playing it with Fusion Dance (with warmogs especially) seems to be the strongest. Colossal would be 2nd to that.
In a recent video you said Zac Protagonist is only bad hero with Rageblade at 2-1. Im in love with it. It might not be optimal, but attack speed from rageblade makes Zac have so much mana regen that every bounce is Active and deals bonus damage.
Protagonist with Fusion Dance + Belt Overflow seemed a little ridiculous when I got that. AA still seemed a little underwhelming not getting many stacks before fight end.
do we not run archangels?
Zac dies too fast. Archangels won’t do anything.
I don’t know if it’s justified, but you can roll for Zac with the Protagonist augment above 9 copies if the round has started and you haven’t hit 3-star yet. If I’m still level 4, I do this when I see that he should be completed this round. I wait for the round to start, buy 9th Zac, and keep rolling so that he hits 4-star much earlier. Of course, you can do the same with other Protagonist units as well.
This is something called “over rolling” back to the days when people play the taliya sett reroll comp and want more copies of taliya. I’m not sure if it’s worthy for Protagonist/Worth the wait cause usually you already hit three star before 3-1.
I tried Zac with JG, Gunblade and Guinsoo and it was incredibly strong
nashor looks fine too
Innervating locket is great on Zac!
Loving the updated website btw, keep it up!
