Ziggs Wild Rift Build & Guide

Innate: Short Fuse 

Ziggs enhances his attack with bonus magic damage every time Short Fuse is available, as shown under his mana bar.

Short Fuse’s cooldown is reduced every time he casts an ability.

Deals double damage to structures which makes Ziggs a great pusher along with his 2nd, Satchel Charge. 

Q | 1st: Bouncing Bomb

Bouncing Bomb is Ziggs’s main source of damage. He throws a bouncing bomb that deals damage to a small AoE.

The bomb bounces up to three times regardless of the distance it is thrown. However, the further the distance it’s thrown, the further it bounces as well.

One method of increasing the chances of hitting the enemy with this ability is to wait for them to walk up to a minion then target the minion instead. The bomb will explode immediately when it comes in contact with the minion but it will reach the enemy champion because of the AoE of the bomb.

You can use it to last hit minions if the champion you face has a strong kill pressure like Zed.

W | 2nd: Satchel Charge

Satchel Charge is a damaging utility tool that you can use for various purposes.

First, you can use it to reposition yourself to escape dangerous situations or have a better position on clashes. There is an indicator where you will land and you can use it to cross walls, even the high ones which are not accessible to short dashes.

Be careful because, if you cast it too fast when you are in panic mode, you can be land further towards the enemy team instead.

Secondly, you can damage towers with it and it demolishes turrets with less than 25% HP. Along with his passive, Short Fuse, Ziggs can easily destroy turrets.

An icon that resembles the ability icon of Satchel Charge will show up on top of turrets when they drop below 25% HP. It doesn’t work on the Nexus, unfortunately, for Ziggs mains.

Third, It can knock up enemies. You can use it to disengage fights by scattering the enemy. You can also use it as a follow-up to crowd controls to bring the enemy closer to your team.

Be careful when using it offensively because you might inadvertently help the enemy escape by knocking them away from your team.

You can also, theoretically, use Satchel Charge to force the opponent into your E, Hexplosive Minefield, or even your ultimate, Mega Inferno Bomb. But, it will take mad skills and highly specific scenarios to pull those off.

E | 3rd: Hexplosive Minefield

Hexplosive Minefield drops seven mines in a hexagonal pattern which is a great zoning tool. You should place these bombs in a choke point to limit where the enemy can go. it also hinders or slows down enemies who want to contest your team on objectives like when you are taking Drakes or Baron Nashor.

Place it in front of where you want to escape in order to slow down your pursuers.

Or of course, you can simply cast it on your enemy to slow them.

Do not cast it too close to walls, turrets, or their remains because the bombs do not reposition themselves when they are dropped on impassable terrain. They simply explode.

R | Ultimate: Mega Inferno Bomb

Mega Inferno Bomb is a super long-range AoE magic damage spell that damages a wide area. It deals more damage if the enemy is hit dead center.

It is a great team fight ability and can also land you some long-range kills on recalling targets if you are skilled enough.

One of the best ways to use Mega Inferno Bomb is to follow up your ally’s crowd control abilities. If you have a Malphite or an Amumu and they land a three-man stun or more, if combined with Mega Inferno Bomb, the fight is more or less won by your team.

If you have a jungler with reliable crowd control like Vi, make sure to keep an eye on them and use Mega Inferno Bomb to assist them from afar.
