Ziggs Bot guide

Ziggs bottom lane is an artillery mage: throw Bouncing Bomb (Q) to bounce it into a poke or wave clear, scatter Hexplosive Minefield (E) to slow and zone approach, and land Mega Inferno Bomb (R) on a grouped enemy team for bonus damage in its primary blast zone, while Short Fuse (passive) empowers the next basic attack on a cooldown that shortens every time he casts a spell.

The build

Rune page: Arcane Comet, Manaflow Band, Transcendence, and Scorch (Sorcery), with Magical Footwear and Biscuit Delivery (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Teleport. Skill order opens Bouncing Bomb (Q) at level one, then maxes Bouncing Bomb (Q) first with Hexplosive Minefield (E) second. Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Luden's Echo, Horizon Focus, and Shadowflame, with Rabadon's Deathcap, Seraph's Embrace, and Zhonya's Hourglass as later options.

Ability mechanics

Bouncing Bomb (Q) bounces before it deals magic damage, letting it hit a wave or a champion depending on aim. Hexplosive Minefield (E) scatters proximity mines that slow and deal magic damage on contact, with reduced damage on successive detonations against the same target. Satchel Charge (W) detonates on a delay or a second cast, knocking away enemies and Ziggs himself without damaging him, and can hexplode vulnerable enemy turrets.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Senna, Kai'Sa, Jinx, Jhin, Ashe. Best matchups: Aphelios, Caitlyn, Ezreal.
