Quick Answer for Patch 26.20
Courage of the Colossus
Prismatic
Gain Shield after Immobilizing or Grounding an enemy champion.
Why on Zac
Elastic Slingshot (E), Stretching Strikes (Q) collisions and Let's Bounce! (R) knock enemy champions airborne, so you get a shield right as you land in their team.
1
Tank Engine
Gold
Gain increased size and percent bonus Health per takedown.
Why on Zac
Each takedown raises your maximum Health, and since Cell Division (Passive) bloblets take a percentage of it, your revive gets harder to stop as fights go on.
2
Goliath
Prismatic
Become large, gaining 15% Health and 10% Adaptive Force.
Why on Zac
Cell Division (Passive) bloblets each take a percentage of your maximum Health, so the extra 15% Health makes your revive harder for enemies to stop.
