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 Twitch

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Get out of his cloud fast

    Get out of the Venom Cask (W) cloud fast: it slows you and adds a Deadly Venom stack every second, which powers up his Contaminate (E).

  2. Ward against his ambush

    Ward your brushes and place a Control Ward on his paths: it reveals camouflaged enemies, and Ambush (Q) lets him reach you unseen.

  3. Focus him as soon as he appears

    As soon as he comes out of the Ambush (Q) camouflage, focus him with your allies: he's fragile and has no dash to escape.

  4. Leave his range during his ult

    During Spray and Pray (R), get out of his extended range until the effect ends: his bolts pierce every enemy, so hiding behind an ally won't protect you.
