Mechanical Tips

  • Short Fuse (passive) — Empowered Auto-Attack: the passive activates every few seconds and resets its cooldown every time an ability is cast — always weave an Empowered Auto-Attack between spells for free bonus damage
  • Satchel Charge (2) self-detonation: Ability 2 can be triggered beneath Ziggs himself to knock him back and launch him into the air — use this to get past a wall, cross terrain or escape from tricky situations
  • Satchel Charge — Turret Destruction: Satchel Charge 2 can instantly destroy a turret below a certain HP threshold — a late-game tactic for a quick close-out
  • Mega Inferno Bomb (Ult) global range: the ultimate has a very long range and can intervene in any fight across the map — help gank allies from base or finish off a fleeing enemy

Common Mistakes

  • Bouncing Bomb without precise targeting: Ability 1 follows an arcing trajectory — anticipate where the bomb will bounce (visual indicator); do not fire directly at a moving target, aim for where it will be
  • Unanticipated defensive Satchel Charge: the Satchel Charge has a significant cooldown — do not waste it on pure poke; always keep one charge for escape or to knock back an assassin
  • Mega Inferno Bomb centre miss: maximum damage is at the CENTRE of the impact — aim so that the centre lands on the priority target, not the edge of the area

Notable Interactions

  • Satchel Charge can knock enemies within the ultimate’s central radius away to maximise damage
  • Hexplosive Minefield slows enemies who walk through it — ideal for covering a retreat or blocking a chase
  • Ziggs can push towers on his own in the late game using the combination of Ability 1 + passive + Ability 2 to finish off a tower with low HP
