Ziggs, the explosive yordle champion, has specific strengths and weaknesses that can be exploited. Here's how to effectively counter him:

Best Counters:

• Yasuo
• Kog'Maw
• Hwei
• Vayne
• Lux
• Kai'Sa
• Twitch
• Lucian
• Tristana
• Kalista

Laning Phase Strategy:

• Avoid standing in minion waves to dodge his Bouncing Bomb (Q)
• Trade auto-attacks after he uses his empowered auto
• Match his wave clear to prevent early tower damage
• Be aggressive early as his laning phase is relatively weak

Mid-Game Tactics:

• Force immediate fights instead of letting him poke
• Deny blue buff to reduce his mana sustain
• Catch him out of position before objective sieges
• Don't allow him to delay teamfights with poke

Key Power Spikes to Watch:

• First item completion significantly increases poke and wave clear
• Mid-game teamfights if allowed to poke
• Early game is his weakest phase - capitalize on this

Counter Tips:

• Engage quickly to prevent poke damage
• Pick champions with gap closers
• Control vision to enable flanks
• Maintain wave control to protect towers
• Look for opportunities when his abilities are on cooldown

Remember to coordinate with your jungler for ganks, as Ziggs lacks escape tools when his Satchel Charge (W) is down.
