Hwei vs Ziggs

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on punishing Ziggs's last-hit approach due to his predictable poke patterns.
Hwei wins extended trades with CC and wave control, while Ziggs pressures with poke and turret siege.
Hold waves near your side to deny Ziggs easy poke angles and reduce his turret execute threat.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto-attack Ziggs when he commits to last-hitting low-health minions if enemy support can't punish.
Use (E) with the correct spellbook CC to interrupt Ziggs's poke or disengage attempts.
Avoid trading immediately after Ziggs uses (W), as his displacement can punish your aggression.

Danger windows

(W) displacement combined with support engage creates lethal all-in windows; avoid stepping too close when (W) is available.
Be cautious when (R) is ready, especially if low on health or grouped near objectives.
Losing brush control or stepping into enemy support zone after Ziggs's poke cooldowns expire increases risk of punishment.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin caster minions and prepare to punish Ziggs's low-health minion last hits.
At level 2, track (W) cooldown to avoid displacement during trades.
Keep support brush control to safely punish Ziggs's last-hit attempts without risking counter-engage.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full spellbook options; use this to adapt your (E) choice for defensive or aggressive trades.
First completed mage item increases your poke and wave control, making Ziggs's pre-item poke less safe.
Level 6 (R) grants you all-in threat; track Ziggs's ultimate to time your engages or defensive resets.

Win conditions

Convert health advantage from punishing Ziggs's last-hit attempts into crashing waves for turret plates.
Use lane priority gained from wave control to set up dragon vision and objective pressure.
Leverage your level 6 all-in threat to force Ziggs onto defensive recalls, opening plate and CS leads.
