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.

Q
Bom NảyZiggs quẳng ra một trái bom nảy gây sát thương phép.
W
Gói Chất NổZiggs quẳng ra một khối chất nổ sẽ tự nổ sau một khoảng thời gian, hoặc khi kĩ năng được tái kích hoạt. Vụ nổ gây sát thương phép lên kẻ địch và hất văng chúng đi. Ziggs cũng bị hất văng, nhưng không chịu sát thương. Ziggs có thể dùng Gói Chất Nổ để phá hủy trụ địch.
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
Bãi MìnZiggs rải ra những quả mìn sẽ phát nổ khi tiếp xúc với kẻ địch, gây sát thương phép và làm chậm nạn nhân. Nếu mục tiêu giẫm nhiều quả mìn, những quả từ thứ hai trở đi gây ít sát thương hơn.
R
Siêu Bom Địa NgụcZiggs triển khai vũ khí tối thượng của mình, Siêu Bom Địa Ngục, rồi ném đi một khoảng cách cực xa. Những kẻ địch trong phạm vi vụ nổ chịu sát thương nhiều hơn những kẻ ở ngoài tầm tác động.
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.
Itemization
Ziggs is AP artillery. Dodge his bombs and mines, gap-close with mobility, and magic resist blunts his poke. Divers and assassins hard-counter his immobility.
