Ziggs
Champions that beat Ziggs
- Akalimid
Akali's Shuriken Flip E dashes directly to a marked target, bypassing Hexplosive Minefield E slow ring. Twilight Shroud W gives invisibility to escape Q poke, and Perfect Execution R chains two dashes onto Ziggs before Satchel Charge W cooldown resets.
- Fizzmid
Fizz's Playful / Trickster E makes him untargetable mid-flight, dodging Bouncing Bomb Q and Mega Inferno Bomb R reflexively. Urchin Strike Q closes the remaining distance, and Chum the Waters R lands a guaranteed shark engage on Ziggs during the no-dash window.
- Kai'Sabot
Kai'Sa closes ground inside Ziggs' Bouncing Bomb Q range — Supercharge E (invisible once evolved) plus the Killer Instinct R warp, which also hands her a shield on arrival, carry her through the Hexplosive Minefield E slow ring. Second Skin Plasma stacks then burst him.
- Lucianbot
Lucian chains dashes inside Ziggs' Bouncing Bomb Q range — Relentless Pursuit E plus Lightslinger passive double-tap auto procs let him weave dashes between Q bounces. Piercing Light Q line poke chunks Ziggs through Satchel Charge W cooldown windows.
- Master Yijungle
Ziggs fights by covering ground he does not stand on, and none of it stops a dash that turns untargetable. Satchel Charge is his one escape, and it goes off too late once Highlander is already on top of him.
- Pykesupport
Pyke's Bone Skewer Q hook plus Death From Below R executes targets below an HP threshold — exactly the HP Ziggs sits at after a trade. Phantom Undertow E blink chains the punish, and Gift of the Drowned Ones passive heals Pyke in stealth.
- Samirabot
Samira's Blade Whirl W destroys the Bouncing Bomb Q projectile entirely while spinning. Wild Rush E dashes through any enemy including minions, resetting on kill to chain across the wave onto Ziggs, and Inferno Trigger R deletes him in seconds.
- Syndramid
Ziggs uses Satchel Charge for both damage and self-knockback escape, but it goes on cooldown after one use. Syndra E stuns him the moment his W is down, and with no second escape he eats the whole Q-W-R chain.
- Taliyahmid
Ziggs's Bouncing Bomb Q has travel time and detonates in an area, and Satchel Charge W self-knockback is his only escape on a long cooldown. Threaded Volley Q out-shoves his waveclear, Seismic Shove W lands during W downtime.
- Tristanabot
Tristana's Rocket Jump W is a 900-range dash that resets on takedown, letting her chain dashes onto Ziggs through Hexplosive Minefield E slow ring. Buster Shot R knock-back is too short to reposition Ziggs out of his Explosive Charge E ticks back on her.
- Yasuomid
Yasuo's Wind Wall W blocks Ziggs' Bouncing Bomb Q projectile entirely, deleting the poke that keeps him at range. Sweeping Blade E dashes through Hexplosive Minefield E slow ring to close the gap. The lane is lost the moment Yasuo has W up.
- Yonemid
Yone's Spirit Cleave W shield soaks Bouncing Bomb Q chip on every trade. Soul Unbound E spirit form dashes through Hexplosive Minefield E slow ring while his body stays untargetable, and Fate Sealed R yanks Ziggs out of his backline position into the team.
- Zedmid
Zed's Living Shadow W swap closes half the lane in a single button, crossing Ziggs' Bouncing Bomb Q range before he can land more than one poke. Death Mark R untargetable dash lands on Ziggs during Satchel Charge W cooldown, and Razor Shuriken Q chunks through.
- Zileanmid
Time Warp E slow plus a Time Bomb Q under his feet pins Ziggs in place. Satchel Charge W self-knockback is short and telegraphed — Zilean predicts the displacement and re-aims the second Q. A clean Q + W + Q chain stuns Ziggs before Mega Inferno Bomb R goes off.
- Zoemid
Zoe's Paddle Star! Q redirects mid-flight from fog of war, poking past Bouncing Bomb Q without showing on minimap. Ziggs's slow-arc Q lets Zoe sidestep with Portal Jump R, and Satchel Charge W self-knockback is dodged by the same blink during the trade.
Champions Ziggs beats
- Aniviamid
Anivia must stand still to cast Flash Frost Q line stun and Glacial Storm R zone damage. Ziggs' Bouncing Bomb Q outranges her cast range and Hexplosive Minefield E zones the area she needs to occupy to deal Frostbite E follow-up damage.
- Anniemid
Annie's Disintegrate Q is 625 range and her damage tools are short-range point-and-click. Ziggs' Bouncing Bomb Q is thrown at 850 and reaches 1400 with bounces, and his Satchel Charge W self-knockback resets the gap whenever Annie walks up for Pyromania setup.
- Blitzcranksupport
Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab Q is a slow-projectile hook with a long cast time. Ziggs' Satchel Charge W self-knockback knocks him backward out of the hook landing zone — even if the hook connects. Hexplosive Minefield E zones the Power Fist E follow-up engage.
- Caitlynbot
Caitlyn's 90 Caliber Net E is her only dash and goes backward — not a real escape. Ziggs' Bouncing Bomb Q reaches 850 units, past Caitlyn's 650 auto-attack range, so he chips her for free and only walks into his own 550 attack range for a Short Fuse proc when she is already low.
- Karthusjungle
Karthus must stand still to cast Lay Waste Q single-target rings on minions. Ziggs' Bouncing Bomb Q outranges his approach window, and Satchel Charge W self-knockback escapes Wall of Pain W slow before Karthus closes for the all-in.
- LeBlancmid
Bouncing Bomb (Q) and Hexplosive Minefield (E) shove LeBlanc out of XP range from outside Sigil of Malice (Q) reach. Satchel Charge (W) knocks her back into his zone control, and Mega Inferno Bomb (R) finishes her from across the screen.
- Leonasupport
Leona's Zenith Blade E is an 875-range dash, the longest engage tool in her kit. Ziggs' Hexplosive Minefield E drops a slowing ring between Ziggs and Leona that delays the engage by a full second, giving Satchel Charge W time to reposition out of Solar Flare R.
- Lockemid
Locke is melee (125 range). Xerath's Arcanopulse (Q) charges out past its 750-unit base range and Eye of Destruction (W) lands at 1000, chunking him long before Ashen Pursuit (E) can reach, and they zone the exact space he needs to cross to commit.
- Malzaharmid
Bouncing Bomb (Q) bounces on past its 850-unit cast range to chip Malzahar down and Hexplosive Minefield (E) zones his static cast position. Satchel Charge (W) knock-back cancels Nether Grasp (R) channel and Mega Inferno Bomb (R) reaches 5000 units to pressure recalls.
- Nautilussupport
Nautilus's Dredge Line Q is a slow-projectile hook with a long cast time. Ziggs' Satchel Charge W self-knockback knocks him backward out of the hook landing zone — even if the hook connects. Hexplosive Minefield E zones the Riptide E follow-up wave damage.
- Sennasupport
Senna has no dash at all and her Curse of the Black Mist E only camouflages her at melee range to an ally. Ziggs' Bouncing Bomb Q reaches 850 units, past Senna's 600-unit base attack range, so he chips her every cooldown while she has to step up to collect souls.
- Veigarmid
Veigar must stand still to cast Dark Matter W delayed AOE and Baleful Strike Q stack farming. Ziggs' Bouncing Bomb Q outranges his approach and Satchel Charge W self-knockback escapes any Event Horizon E cage attempt before it lands.
- Viktormid
Viktor must stand still to channel Hextech Ray E laser line and Arcane Storm R AOE. Ziggs' Bouncing Bomb Q outranges Siphon Power Q charged poke, and Hexplosive Minefield E zones his Gravity Field W stun setup before it triggers.
- Zeribot
Bouncing Bomb Q reaches 850 units against Burst Fire Q's 700 and pokes her below 50% HP each wave. Hexplosive Minefield E zones the wall-vault landing point of Spark Surge E, and Mega Inferno Bomb R finishes her from 5000 units away.
