Ziggs vs Jhin

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Ziggs wins extended trades by poking from range and controlling wave with (E) slow zones.
Jhin punishes last-hit attempts with fourth shot and (W) root, so Ziggs must deny clean CS windows.
Ziggs wants a long-range poke lane, crashing waves to force Jhin under turret and limit his bounce angles.

Trading pattern

Punish Jhin's last-hit animations with (Q) poke only if enemy support can't immediately trade or zone.
Use (E) to zone Jhin's approach paths, forcing him to take damage walking through mines.
Save (W) for disengage or turret execute; avoid using it carelessly as it lowers your escape options.

Danger windows

Jhin's fourth shot ready plus (W) root setup creates lethal short-trade windows; avoid stepping up then.
Enemy support controlling brush or threat zone negates safe last-hit punish; respect this to avoid engages.
Ziggs is vulnerable when (W) is down; avoid extended trades or overextending without escape options.

Early game

Use early waves to thin minions with (Q) and (E), denying Jhin's low-health minion bounce setups.
Avoid stepping up for cannon or melee minions when Jhin's fourth shot is ready to punish.
Track support position to decide when last-hit punish is safe; drop punish if enemy support controls engage zone.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) adds long-range burst and objective fight pressure; use it to force recalls or secure picks.
First completed mage poke item reduces (W) cooldown, increasing safe poke and turret pressure.
Jhin's fourth shot power spike demands Ziggs respect last-hit windows more and avoid extended trades.

Win conditions

Convert poke and waveclear pressure into turret plate damage by crashing waves near Jhin's turret.
Punish Jhin's last-hit attempts during reload or after missed (W) roots to build health and CS leads.
Use lane priority to set up dragon vision and objective control, leveraging (R) for zoning low-health targets.
