Playing as Ziggs

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Katarina

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from her daggers

    Stay away from her daggers on the ground: when she picks one up, Voracity (passive) hits every nearby enemy, and Shunpo (E) lets her blink to it.

  2. Trade after her Shunpo

    Trade right after Shunpo (E): it's her only blink, and it has a 12 to 8 second cooldown, less if she picks up a dagger.

  3. Save your CC for her Lotus

    If you have CC, save it for Death Lotus (R): it's a channel, and interrupting it stops its damage.

  4. Don't count on your healing

    Don't count on your healing during Death Lotus (R): each knife applies Grievous Wounds, which reduces healing received.
