About Me
Hey there!, my name is Re4XN (pronounced Rex) and I want to welcome you to my Ziggs
guide! This is currently my 3rd guide on MOBAFire and I hope I can provide you with
an easy to read experience. I've been playing League of Legends since the end of Season 4 and
I like to think I know a few things when it comes to playing the game :)
Ziggs was the first Mid Laner I ever bought when I started playing League. Although tricky to play, I
always found him an extremely fun and addictive champion, growing fond of him and his maniac
personality/playstyle over the years.
About Ziggs
In a team, Ziggs' role is to blow everyone up that of a poke mage/sieger.
He can dish out big amounts of damage to several members of the enemy
team thanks to his AoE kit. However, lacking any meaningful means of escape
and/or Crowd Control , Ziggs is susceptible to all-ins by enemy divers,
heavily relying on good positioning to survive.
Without further ado, let's jump straight into the guide. Warning: it is quite Ziggs
extensive as it explains pretty much everything you need to know about
MORE GUIDES
Ziggs. If you wish to tell me I did a good job, an UPVOTE would be truly
appreciated. If you have any questions, feel free to post it in the comments!

Masteries for Ziggs are very simple to figure out. 18 in Cunning allows you to get Precision and
Thunderlord's Decree , both very strong and unrivaled choices. Meditation is a personal preference, purely
because it allows you to loosen up your mana management a bit. Merciless is a perfectly good alternative for
a more aggressive approach. Secret Stash is also a viable substitute to Assassin .
With the remaining 12 points, you must choose between Ferocity and Resolve. I prefer the former because it
nets me a greater damage output thanks to masteries like Sorcery , Natural Talent and Double-Edged
Sword . Feast is also a great choice for that extra bit of sustain. However, you may prefer to go for a
survivability approach and assign the remaining 12 points in the other tree, which is fine too ( Insight being
exceptionally helpful). Although please consider that Ziggs' laning phase, as I mentioned earlier, is pretty
safe and unless you are a noob afraid that the enemy is going to seriously dominate lane, those 12 points are
better served in Ferocity.

These two summoner spells are what I most often run on Ziggs. Flash speaks for itself, being THE spell of
League of Legends. With your rather low mobility, it is invaluable for escaping, chasing and dodging key abilities.
Despite being a purely defensive spell, Barrier is nevertheless a great tool to add to your arsenal. It allows
you to block big chunks of damage which often means the difference between dying a shameful death and
escaping without looking back at the explosion. It is very effective against burst champions like Syndra or
LeBlanc.

These are the alternatives, presented in descending order of relevance from left to right. The immediate BY ZTK412
alternative to Barrier is Heal. On paper it might even seem better, given that it permanently restores part

Second alternative is Exhaust, which reduces incoming damage by 40% and slows the enemy by 30%. This is BY QUADRADOWN
amazing at countering high burst/high mobility champions like Zed or Yasuo, denying them a key part of
their combo and giving you valuable seconds to escape.
Ignite is a viable, although very questionable choice. It increases your kill potential in lane (which, I might
add is not great) while leaving you prone to all-ins yourself. It is great at countering healing factors however,
proving a good choice against champions like Vladimir or Swain.
Finally, we have the super situational Cleanse. It should only be taken when you absolutely, positively have to
dodge (failing miserably) that incoming enemy Crowd Control or you die to their burst. Fortunately for you,
there aren't a whole lot of situations like these where Barrier doesn't prove superior. However, it still is a good
alternative against someone like Ahri, whose Charm may dictate your sentence in a matter of seconds.

There is a myth surrounding Ziggs' W + Q combo that goes: throwing a Bouncing Bomb mid-air will
extend its effective range. This is false, since Bouncing Bomb's range stays the same whether you are
grounded or airborne. HOWEVER, detonating Satchel Charge will bring you closer to fleeing enemies a little
bit faster than if you chased them on foot, allowing you to throw a Bouncing Bomb that will hit them well
within its original range.
The last piece of advice regarding Satchel Charge use is its "passive". It will hexplode towers that fall below

settled for the rest of the game, as it helps you penetrate those thick enemy skins and it scales
with enemy magic resistance, meaning that the more they build it, the more damage you deal to <- not technically accurate
them. And if they are fools who don't stockpile MR, you'll pretty much deal a load of true damage.
Rabadon's Deathcap is the ultimate fvck you damage item. It provides you with nothing but a
ton of pure ability power and is priced accordingly. Excellent for dealing with weak targets such as
AD Carries or other Mid Laners (or people who, once again, don't pile up magic resistance). Note
that if the enemy IS building some MR, Void Staff is a vastly superior (and cheaper) choice.
Banshee's Veil is a great item that combines offense and defense. It excels at dealing with
pesky mages who might be kicking your yordle arse as it provides you with 60 magic resistance
and a spell shield that will block the next incoming ability, potentially disrupting a sure-kill combo.
If you are being focused by enemy Crowd Control , this item is often a must.
Tank-killing-business proving difficult? Liandry's Torment's got your back! In addition to great
stats that give you extra damage and survivability, the passive is the reason why you'll buy this
item. It burns enemy champions for 6% of their current health each time they take magic
damage. Last I checked, Ziggs was a mage, so... burn baby, burn!
One of the few anti-AD items mages are able to build, Zhonya's Hourglass is a must if you're
facing an attack damage oriented team. 45 armor is invaluable against the likes of Zed or
Talon and the stasis effect WILL save your life if you use it. 10% CDR and 70 AP are very nice
supplements, but ultimately not the key reason for purchasing this item.

You've now learned how to discern whether you're facing apes or real people in lane. But what should you do in If the focus is being a farmbot, why not run TP?
each case, you might be wondering. I'll be honest with you: Ziggs' kill potential against real people is
mediocre at best, and early game isn't his forte. You should focus on farming creeps and getting money and
b*tches, because your time to shine is yet to come. This isn't to say that you shouldn't poke them when you see
an opening. AA + Q + AA is a very effective poke tool Levels 1-3; you can use it to harass or zone your
opponent from your own minions. Your Bouncing Bombs might be hard to hit, so your best bet is to throw Caster minions? Or melee minions? It's actually an importa

Depending on your opposition, you'll want to position yourself accordingly and manipulate the minion waves in
your favor. However, every match-up is different and I can't cover everything you need to do in every single one
of them. That is something that'll come to you with experience (and a lot of common sense). So, I am going to
generalize and say that usually the lane is down to skill. In this case, you should always strive to hit Level 2 first.Level 2 is hit with HOW many minions?
With abilities such as Short Fuse and Bouncing Bomb this is easily accomplish-able and will give you a
tremendous advantage in lane, allowing you to ASSUME DIRECT CONTROL play the lane on Ziggs' terms. It
takes seven minions to level-up, meaning that you must clear the entire first wave and kill an additional creep.<- Nice
The way you're going to win this race is simple: as soon as you walk into lane you're going to start attacking the
creeps and pushing the wave. If the enemy laner tries to contest, remember to throw your early game combo on
them and walk away to take off minion aggro. If you reach Level 2 before your opponent, stop pushing How do you stop your opponents from freezing? How do you

Hold on a second... what if the bonobo I'm facing has the same plan as myself and has a champion better suited
for the job, say for instance, Zed or Fizz? Well, in that case, it is still possible to attain early lane
dominance, although you are bound to lose it eventually (often times when they hit Level 6). If you see you're
not able to out-push them or that you are losing the trade wars, the better choice is to back off. Remember what
I said earlier about Ziggs having a safe laning phase? It wasn't bull! These champions might try to zone you,
but you will not lose significant gold and experience because you can safely keep up in farm with Bouncing
Bombs. Don't be afraid to use them in such manner, although your mana pool will take a hit, your life will not.
The final scenario you might encounter is this: you walk into lane, start pushing. You decide to test the waters by
throwing an AA + Q + AA combo at the enemy Karthus. The guy takes it all like a man and miserably misses
every single Lay Waste. You think to yourself "Wow, this guys sucks!". Does the above mentioned plan
change? NO! You still try to out-push him and zone him from farm, except this time, you have an extra source of
gold: the enemy champion. Ziggs excels against immobile, squishy targets and our friend Karthus is but
one example. They cannot really dodge your abilities if you're good at aiming them and evading their abilities
means you'll be effectively kiting them: dealing damage while avoiding it yourself. It'll come to a point where the
difference between your health pools is so significant that you can safely all-in them. The way to do this is
simple: press that f*cking TAB button you never use and look at who the hell the enemy jungler is and how well
he's doing. Second, take a look at the bloody map and check if your surroundings are warded. These two factors
are super important because they will decide what you do with your Satchel Charge. If you have no wards, Ziggs

Roaming Up Your Arsenal! Ziggs

BY RE4XN
So, you and your opponent are both standing mid lane, idly farming and (maybe) poking each other from time to
time until the enemy says "F*ck it!" and goes base. Either because they were low on health thanks to your
Epic AP]
outstanding performance with Bouncing Bombs and Short Fuses or because they felt like it. Either way, BY QUADRADOWN
you are healthy and your mana pool is by no means depleted. You're left alone in lane, what should you do?
About how long does it take to walk from mid to a side

First thing you're going to do is take a look at the enemy tower to check its health and
Lane: Without boots, With boots, With t2 boots, and/or
assess whether you'll be able to single-handedly take it down. If the answer is yes (and
with scuttlecrab speed buff.
it should be if the tower is around 40-50% health), the second thing you're going to do
is, you guessed it, press that bloody TAB button and look at the f*cking map, because

we don't like cheesy junglers and we're also scared sh*tless of the dark. Save
Satchel Charge for the final nail on that tower or to escape if you see the jungler
and whether a minion wave will hit a tower by the time th
coming. Shove the hell out of the minion wave (if there is one remaining) and start roam so that you can have an optimized 'gank' / 'dive'
whittling down that tower with Short Fuses. Remember to rotate between
Bouncing Bombs and Hexplosive Minefields to proc your passive more often, as it

team one step closer to victory! a shit ton of gold for it
But what if you can't take the tower alone and your idiot Lee Sin refuses to help? If this is the case, you have
two choices: shove the wave and go base to up your arsenal or roam (the latter option only being feasible after
Level 6). The enemy champion will waste around 30 seconds getting back to lane (or more if you hexploded
them) which is more than enough time to get Ziggs near the Dragon pit and throw a Mega Inferno
Bomb Bot Lane. This can help your team tremendously if someone dies or wastes summoner spells. Don't stop
with Mega Inferno Bomb however! The odds of you hitting the enemy and killing them with it alone are slim.
If you throw it and see the enemy bot out of position, don't be afraid to go down there in person. Go from
behind, throw a Hexplosive Minefield slightly behind them (so they have to go around/through it). Look. At.
The. F*cking. Map. If the coast is clear, throw down a Satchel Charge and knock someone back towards you
or your team mates. Short Fuses and Bouncing Bombs should finish them off. And if not, you just made
their life miserable and that's worth a few points already. Good job!
When roaming, there is but one thing you must acknowledge. Well, two actually, the first being DON'T FORGET
to look at the bloody map. I know I'm pressing on the same key over and over and over again, but map
awareness is what makes or breaks good players. And I want you to succeed while making other people question
their poor life game choices! The second thing to know is that YOU'RE NOT F*CKING RAMBO! You can't take a Ziggs

the #1
rule: look at the map. If the enemy decides it's a good idea to roam, more often than not it means someone on Up Your Arsenal! Ziggs

the most likely target, top or bot lane. After you realize which lane is the most likely to be ganked, you do but
one thing, you spam the sh*t out of the danger ping on your team mates' lane. After you're done with that, you Ziggs, The Balloon Throwe

DANGER! on their lane is far more effective than pinging enemy is missing on yours. Next order of business, BY QUADRADOWN
should you follow your laner? Short answer is, no. However! You are always able to assist your team mates from
across the map with Mega Inferno Bomb and if it'll help them escape or turn the gank around, don't even
hesitate using it! Aside from that, do not bother following the enemy. You will be leaving the safety of your lane

it most favorable for ziggs to fight in?
Last, but not least, objectives. They may seem small and insignificant, but if you
look closer, they are rather nice to grab if you have the opportunity. I am of course
talking about Jinx's brea... the enemy towers, Dragon and Rift Herald. If
your roam is successful, take a look at your collective health, glance at the map
and figure out if you are able to take an objective, anything that will help your team
get an edge over the enemy is tremendously helpful in the long run. Thanks to
Short Fuse, taking towers with Ziggs is incredibly fast and usually no one is able
to contest them in a 3vs1 situation. If your jungler is nearby and the enemy bot
lane is dead/base, don't hesitate to take a free Dragon !
Grouping
When grouping with his team, Ziggs shines the brightest. He is able to deal loads of damage from a safe
distance, he is invaluable during sieges and can frequently save people's lives with his limited Crowd Control .
After the laning phase is over, your team should group up in order to repeatedly contest objectives because in an
ideal scenario, what they want is a victory. If they won't come to you, it's your job to come to them. Ziggs'
only goal in this game is to blow everything that belongs to the enemy team up. You can seldom accomplish such
a task on your own, force your team to help you!
I've already explained what you should do in order to take down towers as Ziggs, but to reiterate once more,
you walk back-and-forth while chuckling Short Fuses at the structure, rotating between Bouncing Bomb Ziggs
and Hexplosive Minefield to reduce your Passive's cooldown. When you're laying siege together with your
MORE GUIDES
team and the enemy is defending, try to use these two abilities as zoning tools and avoid landing them. The
reason for this is to avoid tower aggro. Also, if the enemy is getting defensive, take a step away from them, stay
behind your team and poke them until they go away. Rinse and repeat until you hexplode that tower to kingdom TOP ZIGGS GUIDES

We now come to the topic of team fights. How exciting! There is one single thing you must remember and BY RE4XN
surprisingly, this time it's not to look at the bloody map, but to stay the f*ck away from the enemy team. Your
poor caffeine-addicted squirrel bones will not withstand the damage output of a 5-man team. No, you stay the Ziggs, The Balloon Throwe
hell away from them. Remember: you have the range advantage, it's not worth putting your life on the line if Epic AP]
there is a safer solution that accomplishes the same goal. BY QUADRADOWN
So, aside from staying away from bad people, what else should you do as Ziggs during a team fight? The The core points are there, but your sassiness is
answer is once again simple! Before the fight starts you press that bloody TAB button that's probably broken getting in the way of effectively conveying the message
from so much mashing (/s) and take a look at the enemy team composition. Do they have divers like Zed or
for team fights.
Renekton? Are there any fed champions? How beefy is their vanguard and how much Crowd Control does
it have? After you mentally take note of the answers to all these questions, you must decide how you will position
yourself when the fight starts. They have a Zed? Either he's going for you or your ADC, so better be prepared Identify threatening abilities (death mark, CCs)
for that Death Mark and have your finger on Zhonya's Hourglass. Even better, stay the hell away from him,
stay the fuck safe from those abilities

Charge, unless it will (and by will, I mean 100%) save someone's life, yours included. Next question, the enemy
vanguard is too strong for you to attempt to kill their carries? Well, you have but one option, which is attack the
closest person to you without stepping in the you're dead/CC'd distance. It is the best thing you can do, as it
ensures you stay safe behind your team's tanks and are still able to deal constant damage.
Million dollar question, when do you use Mega Inferno Bomb? I am so glad you asked! There are three
scenarios you must consider in order to get a full answer: our team is ahead, their team is ahead, both teams
are even.
Our team is ahead - give the enemy a false sense of security by using it after they have seriously
committed to the fight. This way you maximize the number of people hit;
Our teams are even - in this situation you can either throw it preemptively to force the enemy to
retreat (if you fear odds are against you) or use the strategy from the bullet point above;
Their team is ahead - if the fight is going to happen and you have no way to disengage, use it
preemptively to try and scare them off, otherwise save it for clearing strong minion waves under

The above bullet points are a generalization and should be taken with a grain of

Outside of all the life saving advice given above, use your abilities to their best according to the situation you're
in. If that Orianna is in range of your Hexplosive Minefield + Bouncing Bomb combo, throw it. You deal
tons of damage and she'll most likely be taken out of the fight, either in a coffin or on a hammock. Spam the
sh*t out of your abilities, trying to hit them on more than one person and remember to stay safe. If that Jax
is coming for your yordle fur, start retreating. If he's coming through the jungle, block his path with
Hexplosive Minefield or Satchel Charge. And never forget the golden rule: GO FOR THE EYES! This means go
for whoever's weakest, be it that immobile Orianna or that useless Teemo who has used up his Flash
and is now trying to run away. You have the tools, all that remains for you to do is use them.
