Ziggs vs Anivia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Ziggs wins by using superior poke range to punish Anivia's slow approach and last-hit attempts.
The lane turns on controlling wave state to deny Anivia safe farm and force her under turret.
Ziggs benefits from a long-range siege lane, while Anivia scales better if allowed to farm safely.

Trading pattern

Punish Anivia's last-hit animations with (Q) and autos only if enemy support cannot immediately trade back.
Use (E) to zone Anivia's approach path and slow her down when she tries to farm.
Save (W) for disengage or turret execute; avoid using it carelessly when enemy engage threat exists.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun combined with support follow-up when stepping forward to last-hit.
Avoid trading when (W) is down, as Ziggs is vulnerable to engage and burst.
Be cautious if enemy support controls brush or river, denying safe punish windows.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin caster minions and punish Anivia's last hits with (Q).
Hold wave near your side to reduce (Q) stun angle and limit her engage windows.
Track support brush control to decide when last-hit punish is safe versus giving up autos.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) allows Ziggs to threaten cross-map damage and force Anivia to respect poke windows.
First completed mage poke item reduces (W) cooldown, enabling safer trades and stronger turret pressure.
After these spikes, increase wave pressure and punish Anivia's attempts to farm outside turret.

Win conditions

Convert poke and wave control into turret plate damage using (W) turret executes.
Force Anivia to recall early by punishing missed (Q) and low-health minion positions.
Use lane priority to secure dragon vision and enable teamfight poke with (R).
