Sivir vs Ziggs

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Sivir blocking Ziggs's poke with (E) and punishing his low mobility.
Sivir wins extended trades and scales better, but must avoid Ziggs's long-range poke and waveclear.
Hold wave near your side to deny Ziggs safe poke angles and last-hit punish windows.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto and (Q) when Ziggs commits to last-hit animations behind minions and support pressure is low.
Use (W) to hit Ziggs through minions when he tries to poke or clear waves.
Hold (E) for (Q) poke or support's engage spell to negate damage and enable safer trades.

Danger windows

Avoid trading when (W) is up, as he can disengage or execute turrets, making trades costly.
Respect (Q) poke angles, especially when your (E) is down, to prevent heavy damage.
Be cautious stepping forward if enemy support controls brush or threat zone, as they can follow up on your punish attempt.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin the caster minions and keep wave near your turret side.
Punish Ziggs when he steps up for caster minion last hits, only if enemy support cannot trade back.
Track (W) cooldown to know when he can't disengage or turret execute, creating safer punish windows.

Power spikes

(E) availability is key; block (Q) or support engage to win trades and force cooldowns.
First completed marksman item lets Sivir clear waves faster and punish Ziggs's lower mobility more effectively.
Level 6 (R) gives Sivir team movement to turn neutral waves into coordinated all-ins or safe disengages.

Win conditions

Convert wave control and (E) blocks into safe recalls and item spikes before Ziggs gains turret pressure.
Use (W) and waveclear to deny Ziggs turret plates and force him under tower.
Leverage (R) team speed in fights to maximize DPS and secure dragon setups with your team.
