Ziggs Tips and Tricks

Use your empowered auto-attacks on enemy champions when possible to deal extra damage during the laning phase. Before a team fight occurs, try to poke the enemy down as much as possible with your Q. Delay a team fight for as long as possible while you dish out Q damage. Towers can be destroyed when they’re at 25% health with your W. Avoid roaming and focus on pushing to take early Towers.
