Zac vs Poppy Counter Pick

Displacement decides this clash. Heroic Charge pushes its target backward and stuns it against a wall, and Keeper’s Verdict throws enemies a long distance, so a Zac who slingshots into a poor angle can be removed from the fight before Let’s Bounce! ever resolves. The patch 16.13.1 record still favours him at 55.8% over 199 games, graded Easy.

That margin comes from scaling durability paired with percentage damage. Zac opens with 685 health to Poppy‘s 610 and finishes at 2,538 against 2,480, while Unstable Matter converts a share of enemy maximum health into magic damage, output that ignores how much armour Steadfast Presence has accumulated. Poppy’s defensive passive grows as her health falls, and Iron Ambassador leaves a buckler she can collect for a temporary shield, so trades taken beside her buckler pickup are the wrong ones.

Two smaller figures matter. Poppy moves at 345 to Zac’s 340, so she chooses when to close, and pursuit depends on Stretching Strikes rather than raw speed. Her damage is physical, met by Zac‘s armour of 33 growing to 112.9; his is magic, met by her 32 magic resist. Difficulty ratings of 8 and 6 leave neither side simple, but Zac carries the higher cost of error, because Elastic Slingshot is simultaneously his engage tool and his only dependable way out of a losing fight.
