I'm ParkChnm. I'm a Xerath player and am bringing my skill from Xerath over to Ziggs as they are very similar.

Ziggs is a pretty strong champion with a lot of utility. His range makes the laning phase a nightmare for enemies as he can poke them from afar, while having a few means of escapes. Ziggs is reliant on landing your skillshots and proper positioning to stay safe, while also being able to effectively poke.

Pros
- High Damage
- Extremely safe
- Long range
- Burst
- Strong poking

Cons
- Relies on landing your skillshots
- Squishy
- Can be easily engaged

Early Game as Ziggs
Focus on farming while also zoning your opponent. Try to use Bouncing Bomb to hit your opponent and the minions to get the most out of your mana. Against assassins, hard shove and try to take turret. Easily achievable with Satchel Charge

Mid Game as Ziggs
Continue to farm and wave clear. Try to get the first tier turrets with your W. Pick off some kills and help your teammates with Mega Inferno Bomb

Late Game as Ziggs
Stay in the backline and poke down the enemies. Your wave clear is very strong, so you can keep your turrets safe very well. It's vital you don't get caught, as you should be doing the most damage for your team.

Summoner Spells

Flash is the summoner spell you take on almost all champions. Used to get out of danger or get in range for abilities to secure a kill.

Teleport is a very good spell for Ziggs since you can hard shove your wave and teleport back or you can try to shove in the wave, roam and take a turret with Satchel Charge and then teleport back to your lane.

Ignite is a good choice when having Unsealed Spellbook since you can switch off of it. Ignite won't come in handy as often since Ziggs is an artillery mage, so he shouldn't be in ignite range.

Runes
Ziggs is viable with a lot of different rune sets and keystones at his disposal. However, these runes that I've chosen work well with Ziggs and are much better choices than others. Here I will explain why and how to effectively use the runes.
