Learn how to Ziggs counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Engage aggressively when his W (Satchel Charge) is on cooldown — this is his only escape tool and has a long cooldown (20-12 seconds) early game.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Position to the side of your minion wave when laning against Ziggs — his Q (Bouncing Bomb) will explode near enemies, making you an easy target if standing within your minion line.
Basic Lane Phase
Force direct engagements rather than allowing Ziggs to poke your team — he struggles when denied the opportunity to whittle you down before objectives and team fights.
Team Fight Skirmish
When you see his R indicator, move away from the center of the explosion — his ultimate deals 50% more damage in the epicenter (up to 600 + 110% AP at rank 3).
Team Fight
Look for extended auto-attack trades after he uses his empowered auto-attack — as an AP champion, his regular auto-attacks are weak compared to ADCs.
Lane Phase
Match his wave clear to prevent easy tower damage — if left unchecked, he can chip down towers quickly with his passive and execute them with W when below 35% health.
Lane Phase Late Game
Step quickly out of his E (Hexplosive Minefield) after the initial mine explosion — subsequent mines deal 60% less damage, so limiting how many hit you significantly reduces the damage taken.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
His R (Mega Inferno Bomb) grants vision around its target location for 4 seconds before exploding, potentially revealing your team's position even in fog of war.
Advanced Team Fight
