Ashe vs Ziggs

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Ashe wins by punishing Ziggs's forced last-hit paths with slows and (W) poke.
Control the wave near mid-range to limit Ziggs's safe poke and force him into risky positions.

Trading pattern

Punish Ziggs when he walks up for low-health caster or cannon minions by auto-attacking with passive slow.
Use (W) to poke when Ziggs is locked into last hits, but only if enemy support cannot immediately counter-trade.
Avoid stepping forward when (W) is off cooldown, as he can displace or disengage aggressively.

Danger windows

(W) displacement cooldown up creates a threat window; avoid stepping too close without peel.
When (R) is available, respect his long-range burst and avoid overextending without support.
Enemy support controlling brush or engage zones negates last-hit punish windows; give up risky autos then.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold the wave just outside Ziggs's poke range and punish caster minion last hits.
At level 2, step up to auto Ziggs during last-hit animations if enemy support is not threatening.
Keep support close to enable slow chains and turn poke into all-ins after (R) unlocks.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks Ashe's pick threat; use it with support follow-up to punish Ziggs stepping up.
First completed marksman item strengthens Ashe's sustained poke and slow, enabling safer extended trades.
Two-item utility DPS spikes improve Ashe's ability to kite and control fights against Ziggs's poke.

Win conditions

Convert slows and poke into CS leads by denying Ziggs last hits on caster and cannon minions.
Use (R) picks to force Ziggs back, enabling plate damage and dragon vision control.
Scale into teamfights where Ashe's slows and utility provide front-to-back DPS, exploiting Ziggs's immobility.
