Naafiri vs Ziggs

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Naafiri must manage Ziggs's poke and waveclear by landing Q poke to create kill pressure before committing all-ins.
Use medium lane pressure to deny Ziggs safe scaling and prevent him from freely sieging with his poke.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q first to apply bleed and force Ziggs to use defensive cooldowns.
Commit W and E only when Ziggs's W is on cooldown or after Q poke has lowered his health.
Avoid engaging if Q misses or if Ziggs's W and E are available to punish your dash.

Danger windows

When Ziggs's W is up, avoid committing with W as he can displace and punish you.
Be cautious if Q poke is missed, as your all-in threat is significantly lowered.
Ziggs's R can finish low-health targets; avoid overextending after poke trades.

Early game

Start by using Q to chip Ziggs from a safe distance, avoiding Ziggs Q and E zones.
Avoid engaging with W until Ziggs's W is down to reduce risk of displacement or counter-engage.
Keep the wave on your side to prevent Ziggs from easily pushing and roaming.

Power spikes

Naafiri's level 6 R empowers chase and burst, increasing kill threat.
First lethality item spike boosts Q poke and all-in damage.
Respect Ziggs's level 6 R for its long-range burst potential and W for his main self-peel tool.

Win conditions

Use Q poke to chip Ziggs and create lethal windows for W-engaged all-ins.
Activate R to enhance chase and burst on isolated or low-health Ziggs.
Punish Ziggs when he uses W or misses key poke abilities to force kills or resets.

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