Zeri vs Ziggs

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

The matchup turns on Zeri using walls to dodge Ziggs's poke and punish his predictable CS paths.
Zeri wins extended trades with (R) active and terrain for (E) escapes; Ziggs controls lane with poke and waveclear.
Zeri needs to avoid early burst trades and scale into long fights where her mobility and mixed damage excel.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or (Q) Ziggs during his last-hit animation on caster minions if support threat is low.
Use (W) through walls to punish Ziggs's predictable CS paths and force him off the wave.
Avoid trading when (E) is down or (W) is available, as his displacement and poke window is dangerous.

Danger windows

(W) displacement creates all-in danger when your (E) is down or no nearby walls exist for escape.
Avoid stepping up when (Q) is off cooldown and enemy support controls brush or engage zones.
(R) can finish low-health targets; respect its cooldown before committing to extended trades or objectives.

Early game

Hold the wave near your side to force Ziggs to last-hit under poke zones and limit his (W) angles.
Punish Ziggs when he steps up for caster minion last hits if enemy support cannot trade back.
Avoid pushing early waves too hard to keep wall access for (E) escapes against Ziggs's poke and displacement.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) lets Zeri extend fights and kite around walls, turning trades heavily in her favor.
First completed marksman item increases Zeri's poke and all-in threat, making last-hit punish windows safer.
Two-item spike strengthens Zeri's extended DPS, allowing her to dominate objective fights if she maintains terrain access.

Win conditions

Scale safely to item spikes while using wall (W) and (E) to avoid Ziggs's poke and displacement.
Convert health leads into crashing waves to take turret plates and force Ziggs under tower.
Use (R) in extended fights around terrain to maximize DPS and kite Ziggs and his support in teamfights.
