Ziggs vs Zed

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ziggs is a poke artillery mage who must keep Zed at a distance to avoid his high burst and mobility.
Maintain high lane pressure with waveclear and poke to deny Zed safe scaling and all-in windows.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q from max range and use E to slow Zed's approach, saving W for disengage or turret executes.
Punish Zed if he wastes W to engage and misses his combo by following up with poke and zone control.
Respect Zed's W + E + Q combo by dodging Zed Q and maintaining spacing outside his engage range.

Danger windows

Zed is most dangerous when his W + E + Q combo is available and especially after level 6 when R can finish trades.
Ziggs is vulnerable when W is on cooldown or missed, as he loses his main disengage tool.

Early game

Exploit Zed's weakness before level 3 by aggressively poking with Q and controlling space with E.
Avoid using W carelessly early, as missing it leaves you vulnerable to Zed's engage combo.

Power spikes

Ziggs major spikes: Level 6 R for long-range burst and first completed mage poke item for sustained pressure.
Zed major spikes: Level 3 unlocks W-E-Q combo and Level 6 Zed R all-in potential.

Win conditions

Use superior waveclear and poke to keep Zed low and unable to safely engage.
Convert lane pressure into turret damage using W execute and R to finish low-health targets.
Deny Zed's roam attempts by fast wave management and maintaining lane control.

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