How to beat Ziggs

Common role: Mid

A bomb-lobbing artillery mage who zones with mines and blows up towers.

What makes Ziggs dangerous

Ziggs lobs bouncing bombs (Q) for long-range poke, plants proximity mines (W) that knock you back and zone, and his ultimate is a huge long-range bomb that nukes a target. He excels at poking you out, zoning objectives, and demolishing towers, all from a safe distance.

How to play against Ziggs

• 1Dodge his bouncing Q bombs — they're his main poke. Watch the bounce and stand behind minions.
• 2His W mine knocks you back and zones — don't walk over it, and it can also displace him or you. Path around his mines.
• 3He's immobile (his W self-knockback is his only reposition). Gap-close onto him or all-in when his W is down.
• 4Respect his ult range — it snipes low targets from a screen away. Don't sit low in a straight line from him.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Immobile besides his W self-knockback.
• ✓All his damage is dodgeable skillshots.
• ✓No hard CC to stop a dive.
• ✓Deleted when a diver reaches him.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Ziggs's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  ショートヒューズ

  一定時間ごとに、次の通常攻撃に追加魔法ダメージがつく。スキルを使用するたびに、次の追加ダメージまでの時間が短くなる。

• Q
  バウンドボム

  地面にバウンドする爆弾を投げ、魔法ダメージを与える。

• W
  エンジニアボム

  発動から少し遅れて、またはスキルを再発動した時に起爆するヨードルグレネードを投げる。爆発は敵に魔法ダメージを与えて弾き飛ばす。ジグスも弾き飛ばされるがダメージは受けない。体力が減った敵タワーをエンジニアボムで「ヘクスプロード」して破壊できる。

  Strong: a mine that knocks you back and zones an area. Weak: don't walk over it — path around his mines to avoid the displacement.

• E
  ヘクステックマイン

  地面に地雷を複数設置する。敵が接触すると爆発し、魔法ダメージとスロウ効果を与える。同じ敵が地雷を起爆させた場合は与えるダメージが減少する。

• R
  メガインフェルノボム

  究極の発明品「メガインフェルノボム」は射程距離が極めて長く、爆破範囲中央部にいる敵はさらに大ダメージを受ける。

  Strong: a huge long-range bomb that snipes low targets. Weak: it's a skillshot — dodge it and don't sit low in a straight line from him.
