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 Orianna

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay out of her ball's line

    Don't stand in the path of her ball, because Command: Attack (Q) damages every enemy it passes through before stopping.

  2. Target her when her ball is far

    If you can engage, target Orianna when her ball is far from her: her spells come from the ball, and she has no dash.

  3. Don't group near her ball

    In teamfights, don't stay grouped with your allies near her ball, because Command: Shockwave (R) pulls every nearby enemy toward it.

  4. Watch the ally carrying her ball

    Back off when her ball is attached to an ally diving your team: Command: Shockwave (R) will then come from them.
