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 Kog'Maw

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Engage when his W ends

    Engage when Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) ends: his attack range drops back to 500, and the spell has a 17-second cooldown.

  2. Punish his lack of mobility

    If you can engage, go for him: with no dash or leap, Kog'Maw can only back off on foot, and Void Ooze (E) is his only slow.

  3. Leave his R range at low health

    Below 40% health, get out of range of Living Artillery (R): each shot then deals its max damage to you, and it reaches very far.

  4. Move away when he dies

    When he dies, move away from him: Icathian Surprise (passive) makes him explode 4 seconds later, dealing true damage to nearby enemies.
