Ziggs vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ziggs controls the lane with strong long-range poke and waveclear, aiming to deny Aurelion Sol's scaling by forcing him to farm under pressure.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Aurelion Sol from safely farming and roaming, as he has low early agency and relies on scaling.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q from max range and use E to control Aurelion Sol's approach paths, saving W for disengage or turret executes.
Punish Aurelion Sol when he misses Aurelion Sol Q or W by stepping forward with poke and wave pressure.
Avoid all-ins unless W is available, as missing W makes Ziggs vulnerable to Aurelion Sol's poke and mobility.

Danger windows

Ziggs is most vulnerable when W is down, as he loses his main self-peel and turret execute tool.
Be cautious if Aurelion Sol gains access to his full kit and upgraded R, as his roaming and poke become more threatening.
Punish Aurelion Sol's early weak kit by forcing trades before he can safely farm and scale.

Early game

Use Q and E to poke and zone Aurelion Sol early, exploiting his weak early game and limited kit access.
Avoid extended trades when W is down since Ziggs is vulnerable to Aurelion Sol's medium mobility and poke combo.
Keep the wave pushed to deny Aurelion Sol easy roam opportunities and punish his weak early presence.

Power spikes

Ziggs's major spikes are level 6 R and first completed mage poke item, increasing poke and siege threat.
Respect Aurelion Sol's late-game spike when his R upgrades and he completes Rylais, increasing his roaming and teamfight impact.
Ziggs's W cooldown is critical as it provides both safety and turret pressure, enabling safer poke windows.

Win conditions

Use superior poke and waveclear to keep Aurelion Sol low and under turret, denying him farm and roam potential.
Convert lane pressure into turret damage by executing low turrets with W and R.
Maintain lane control to prevent Aurelion Sol from scaling, then leverage level 6 and item spikes to dominate teamfights.
