Ziggs vs Akshan

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ziggs is a poke artillery mage who wants to control lane with long-range Q and E poke to keep Akshan at bay.
Maintain high lane pressure to deny Akshan's short-range bully style and punish his risky engages with W and E zones.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q from max range and zone Akshan with E to punish his approach paths.
Save W for disengage against Akshan E engages or to execute low turret plates.
Punish Akshan heavily if he misses or wastes Akshan E by following up with Q and E damage.

Danger windows

Akshan is most dangerous when Akshan E is up for quick engages; respect this cooldown.
When W is down, Ziggs is vulnerable to Akshan's close-range attacks; avoid all-ins.
Akshan R level 6 burst can punish overextensions; keep distance and use W to disengage.

Early game

Use Q and E to chip Akshan early before he can safely engage with Akshan E.
Avoid standing close to prevent Akshan from using Akshan E to engage effectively.
Keep wave clear strong to deny Akshan roam opportunities from Akshan W camouflage.

Power spikes

Ziggs major spikes: Level 6 R for long-range burst and first completed mage poke item.
Akshan major spikes: Level 2 access to Q plus E or W utility and Level 6 Akshan R.
Respect Akshan R and Akshan E engage potential by playing safe when these are available.

Win conditions

Use superior waveclear and poke to keep Akshan low and prevent his engages.
Punish missed Akshan E swings with Q and E damage to force him back or roam.
Convert lane pressure into turret damage using W execute and R to control objectives and side lanes.

Tip: For Ziggs vs Akshan, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
