Twitch vs Ziggs

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Twitch wins by punishing Ziggs's predictable last-hit paths with stealth and poison stacks.
Avoid early fair trades; Twitch scales better into late grouped fights with (R) piercing.
Ziggs controls wave priority early with poke and waveclear, so Twitch wants stable farm and stealth angles.

Trading pattern

Punish Ziggs when he walks up for caster minions by stepping forward with autos and (W) slow if support threat is low.
Use (Q) stealth to reposition and open trades only if enemy vision and support control allow safe (Q).
Avoid trading when (W) displacement is available or enemy support controls brush and engage zones.

Danger windows

Respect (W) displacement cooldown; engaging while it's up risks losing position and taking turret damage.
Avoid stepping forward when (Q) poke and (E) slow are available together, especially near minion waves.
Be cautious when enemy support controls brush or threat zones, as last-hit punish windows become too risky.

Early game

Use first three waves to farm safely and avoid (Q) poke by sidestepping caster minions.
At level 2, punish Ziggs stepping up for caster minions if enemy support cannot immediately trade back.
Avoid stepping into (E) minefield zones when contesting low-health minions to prevent poke damage.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) spike lets Twitch open fights from stealth angles hitting multiple targets; use it to punish grouped enemies.
First completed marksman item increases Twitch's all-in threat and wave control, enabling safer poison stack trades.
Two-item stealth spike allows Twitch to flank and carry teamfights; leverage vision denial and support cover to create openings.

Win conditions

Survive early lane and use stealth to punish Ziggs's overextensions or recall timings for CS leads.
Convert poison stacks with (E) after safe (W) slows to win trades and force Ziggs off the wave.
Use lane priority gained from successful trades to crash waves, take turret plates, and set up dragon control with team.
