Ziggs Mid Lane Build Guides, Runes, Items, and Abilities

Ziggs, the Hexplosives Expert, is a mid-lane mage in League of Legends known for his incredible ability to control the battlefield with explosive precision. With his long-range poke, wave-clear potential, and high burst damage, Ziggs excels at both maintaining lane pressure and contributing to team fights from a distance. His playstyle rewards careful positioning, strategic use of abilities, and an understanding of timing to outplay opponents. Whether you're aiming to dominate the laning phase or take down turrets with his signature Satchel Charge, Ziggs offers a dynamic and exciting experience for players who enjoy explosive power in the mid lane.

1. Strengths Tremendous wave clearing potential with a lot of poke built in his kit. His Bouncing Bomb Q alone can force the enemy to recall back to base if they keep getting tagged by it.

• Can displace enemy units into his Hexplosive Minefield E by using his Satchel Charge W. This can act as a really good finishing move against low health enemies, or it can be used to pull off an escape when necessary.
• Is a menace to recall against as one bad recall can allow him to take the enemy tower really quickly due to his Passive and Satchel Charge W.

2. Weaknesses

• Vulnerable when his Satchel Charge W is down as he has no other escape ability left in his kit. The same applies for when he is too pushed up in the lane.
• His Bouncing Bomb Q can be dodged quite easily if the enemy is standing at some distance from him. It is his main form of poke damage, so without it he will be useless.
• Level one Ultimate Mega Inferno Bomb R does very little damage if the enemy is away from the epicenter of the blast. It cannot be used as an effective finishing move unless Ziggs has items or two points in that ability.

• Avoid extended trades in the early game as Ziggs will always come worse off against an AD Carry.
• Use your empowered auto-attacks on enemy champions when possible to deal extra damage during the laning phase. Do not over-commit to doing this though.
• Before a team fight occurs, try to poke the enemy down as much as possible with your Bouncing Bomb Q. Delay a team fight for as long as possible while you dish out Bouncing Bomb Q damage.

• E + W + Q + W: For some poke use E on your target, then W Q W.
• E + Q + AA: Quick trade by using E then Q AA.
• W + W + Q + AA: Use W under yourself then W again to gapclose. Quickly Q and AA your target.
• AA + E + Q + W + AA + W: For an ideal pre-6 trade, AA and E under your target. Q and W under them, then AA W.
• W + W + E + Q + R: To create a gap use W underneath yourself and your target, then W again. Finish with E Q and R.
• E + W + W + R + Q + AA: All in a target by using E and W under the enemy. W again, then quickly R Q and AA.
• AA + E + Q + R + AA + W + W + AA: For a max DPS trade AA and instantly E Q R. AA again, then quickly W W AA.

Mastering Ziggs requires a balance of calculated aggression and map awareness. His versatility allows him to fit into various team compositions, offering consistent damage and objective control. As you perfect his mechanics and learn to leverage his strengths, Ziggs becomes a formidable pick in any match. Whether you're raining destruction from afar or dismantling enemy structures, Ziggs is a champion that rewards clever tactics and explosive plays. So, gear up, and let the Hexplosives Expert light up the Rift!
