Ziggs vs Azir

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ziggs controls lane pressure by poking from range and using waveclear to deny Azir safe farming and scaling.
Prioritize keeping Azir uncomfortable to prevent him from setting up soldiers and scaling into his DPS power spike.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q from max range and use E to slow Azir's approach, saving W for disengage or turret execute.
Punish Azir when he uses Azir E aggressively or wastes Azir R defensively.
Avoid engaging when Azir's soldiers are well positioned and Azir R is available to block or displace.

Danger windows

When W is on cooldown, Ziggs is vulnerable to Azir's all-ins and soldier DPS.
Avoid close-range fights if Azir's Azir R is up, as it can disrupt your positioning.
Be cautious if low on mana since you lose poke and waveclear, making you easier to pressure.

Early game

Use Q and E to poke and zone Azir before he can place soldiers effectively.
Avoid extended trades if Azir still has Azir E for repositioning or Azir R for disengage.
Maintain wave control to prevent Azir from farming safely and reaching his item spikes.

Power spikes

Level 6 R significantly increases Ziggs' burst and objective impact.
First completed mage poke item boosts Ziggs' lane pressure and waveclear.
Respect Azir's level 6 Azir R for its displacement and defensive utility.

Win conditions

Use superior waveclear and poke to keep Azir low and deny him safe farming.
Convert lane pressure into turret damage using W to execute low turrets.
Force Azir to use Azir E or Azir R defensively, then punish with aggressive poke and zone control.

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