Playing as Ziggs
Tips to maximize your impact
- Poke with Bouncing Bomb
Poke with Bouncing Bomb (Q): its cooldown drops from 6 to 4 seconds, and a target slowed by Hexplosive Minefield (E) has a hard time dodging it.
- Launch yourself with your charge
Cast Satchel Charge (W) at your feet to escape or chase, even over a wall: the blast knocks you away without damaging you, and knocks back nearby enemies too.
- Join distant fights with your ult
Cast Mega Inferno Bomb (R) on a distant fight or a fleeing target: it reaches 5000 range, and the center of the blast deals more damage than the edge.
- Finish towers with your charge
Siege towers from range, then cast Satchel Charge (W) on a tower that's almost down: below a health threshold, it's destroyed instantly.
Playing against Ashe
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Short trades
Take short trades: each auto slows you with Frost Shot (passive), and her autos deal more damage to slowed targets.
- Back off during her Focus
Back off when she activates Ranger's Focus (Q): for a few seconds, her attack speed rises and each auto becomes a flurry of arrows.
- Punish her lack of mobility
If you can engage, go for her when her support drifts away: her kit has no dash, only slows.
- Dodge her long-range arrow
Prioritize dodging Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) fired from far away: the farther the arrow has traveled, the longer the stun.
