Ziggs vs Jinx

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Ziggs wins by punishing Jinx's low mobility and forced CS paths with long-range poke and zone control.
The lane turns on Ziggs maintaining wave states that deny Jinx safe rocket poke and force her to last-hit under pressure.
Ziggs controls short trades with (Q) poke and (E) slows, while Jinx scales better for extended fights and teamfights.

Trading pattern

Punish Jinx's last-hit attempts by hitting (Q) and following with autos only if enemy support cannot immediately trade back.
Use (E) to zone Jinx off predictable engage paths or last-hit spots near low-health caster minions.
Save (W) for disengage or turret execute; avoid using it carelessly as it opens you to engage.

Danger windows

(E) root combined with support engage creates kill windows; avoid stepping into trapped zones.
Be cautious when (W) is down, as Ziggs loses main disengage and becomes vulnerable to all-ins.
Respect enemy support control of brush or river zone that can follow your step forward with immediate engage.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin caster minions and position (E) to punish Jinx walking up for last hits.
Prioritize level 2 poke windows by landing (Q) on Jinx when she commits to low-health minions.
Avoid pushing past river without vision to prevent losing (W) safety against potential engage.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks cross-map burst, enabling safe all-ins or objective pressure; use it to force Jinx back.
First completed mage poke item lowers (W) cooldown, increasing safe poke frequency and turret pressure.
After item spike, pressure waves more confidently but track Jinx's rocket poke and support cooldowns.

Win conditions

Convert poke and waveclear pressure into turret plate damage using (W) turret executes on low plates.
Deny Jinx free farm by punishing her last-hit attempts under your poke zones and minefield control.
Use lane priority and poke windows to set up dragon vision and control, leveraging Ziggs's objective pressure.
