Skill Sequence & Ability explanation

Ability Sequence
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
(R) Mega Inferno Bomb>(Q) Bouncing Bomb>(E) Hexplosive Minefield>(W) Satchel Charge
  • Short Fuse So every few Seconds the next Basic Attack deals Bonus Damage. On Top of that everytime Zigg's uses one of his
    Abilitys Short Fuse comes up more quickly. Pretty nice Extra Damage.
  • (Q) Bouncing Bomb Your Main Damage Ability/Source. Take it by lvl 1 and max it by lvl 9. If the Bomb doesent land on an enemy it bounce instead. Note that the Distance determintes the Speed it bounces. On top of that it can damage all sorunding Enemys!
    However you have to be pretty good at the prediction of the enemys movement.
  • (E) Hexplosive Minefield Scatters Mines , which are very usefull and slows the Enemy/s by detonation. However dont just randomly spamm it , in fact you have to use it wisely/right , it has a nice slow so you really want to get your enemys trapped in it , which come's really in handy!
  • (W) Satchel Charge This is our Utility Spell.Take just one point at lvl 4 and max it last. The Blast(Knockback) is great to get an enemy away from you/teammate/s, it's also great for Ziggs to escape from the Enemy (wall jumping/crossing). In plenty situations this will be a Life-Saver. However this is your only "Anti-CC" , because of its pretty long Cooldown you want to have this Ability avaible as long as possible and only want to use it if you really have to. DONT just randommly spamm it , use it wise!
  • (R) Mega Inferno Bomb I grab my Ulti at lvl 6/11/16 , it's really usefull/helpfull especially because of it's massive Range. You can kinda Compare it to Gangplanks Ulti Cannon Barrage, but instead of 25 Cannon Balls over 7 seconds , Ziggs will throw a single Bomb which blast's an area on the map. Not to mention.., it does TONS of damage to all Enemys caught in it! However use it wisely , it places a warning to it's enemys right before it lands ( ~ 1-3 seconds till its there , apparently it depends on the range/how far away you throw it )
So at the Start i usually grab 2 Points in (Q) Bouncing Bomb and 1 Point in (E) Hexplosive Minefield.
This is usually the right choice to start with in Dominion. Q is yor Main Damage Ability/Source and E does nice damage and on top of that it slows for a short duration. When you Hit level 4 grab (W) Satchel Charge as it can comes in handy.

Summoner Spells

Main/Core :
  • Flash: It Will help to secure Kills or escape from scary Situations
  • Ghost: Overall a good choice at Dominion , since youre running around the Map quite alot , and sometimes you need to be really quick. Keep in Mind Ziggs is one of the slowest characters ingame!
  • Ignite: Just that lil' bit of Damage to finish them off. However so far i prefer Flash& Ghost over Ignite. It's better to be save than sorry. Your long Q and R Range is usually more than enough to finish the Enemy.
Optional :
  • Cleanse: As youre kinda squishy and dont really have any anti CC this might come in handy, however i personal prefer Flashover Cleanse. Why? Well Flash can be used as an offensive and an defensive spell. On top of that in combination with (W) Satchel Charge nobody should be able to catch you ( aside from maybe lets say uhm..Warwick & Nocturne )
  • Exhaust A nice Spell indeed , however i personally dont really see the need of it on Ziggs on Dominion.
    In my Eyes the Main/Core Spells are just way more usefull overall , besides Zigg's allready has an ridiculous Range and a short slow, which should be enough.

Runes

Runes

Precision
Fleet Footwork
Phase Rush
This Build is aimed purly at dealing extra/max Damage with all of Ziggs Abilitys.
However some CD reduction could also come in handy. It will take some time to thoroughly test it.

Items

Core:
  • Prospector's Ring: 200 hp, 30 ap, and 7 mp5 thats exactly what we want at the beginning.
  • Boots// Sorcerer's Shoes: We want this Item for the Magic Penetration it provides, so that we deal extreme damage with our abilities.
    However latly i feel mutch better & saver with a Pair of Boots of Swiftness on Ziggs
    , especially because he is one of the slowest characters ingame.
  • Health Potion: Better Save than sorry. Ziggs has a small Healthpool , those Potions allow you to stay longer in fight/defending , besides i find em especially usefull against DOT's/Ignite's. One more Advice , you can pop 2 Potions at once.
  • Rabadon's Deathcap: The Infinity Edge for Casters. I dont need to say anything more , do i?

situational:
  • Rylai's Crystal Scepter: An additional Slow , HP and AP. It's really nice on Ziggs. If i feel like i need some extra HP but dont want to lose Damage i usually pick it.
  • Morello's Evil Tome: Cooldown reduction is pretty nice to make Ziggs more deadly. I might grab this after I've obtained my core items.
  • Void Staff:More Magic Penetration to nuke those pesky tanks.
  • Banshee's Veil:Survivability against AP carries.
  • Zhonya's Hourglass:Survivability against AD carries , on top of that AP.
  • Lich Bane If you're doing great , that Item is like really great on Ziggs it works totally awesome with his Passvie Short Fuse plus i really really like that extra movement speed ;]
  • Hextech Revolver: If you're doing great and have some extra money. 1200G is pretty nice for this one. However , so far i dont really see the need of spellvamp for Ziggs. However i will give it some more tests.
  • (more comming soon)
