Ziggs vs Twitch

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Ziggs wins by leveraging superior poke range to punish Twitch's last-hit attempts under pressure.
Maintain wave control to deny Twitch safe farm and prevent stealth (Q) angles.
The lane favors Ziggs's extended poke over Twitch's short-range burst and stealth setups.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or (Q) Twitch during last-hit animations only if enemy support cannot trade back.
Use (E) to zone Twitch's approach path and slow his movement when he tries to farm.
Save (W) for disengage or turret execute; do not waste it when enemy engage threat exists.

Danger windows

(Q) stealth combined with enemy support follow-up creates lethal engage windows.
Avoid trading when (E) poison stacks are high, as his burst damage spikes.
Do not use (W) carelessly; losing it removes your main escape and turret pressure tool.

Early game

Use early waves to thin minions with (Q) and (E), forcing Twitch to last-hit under poke.
Punish Twitch's caster minion last hits with (Q) when support threat is low.
Avoid stepping forward if enemy support controls brush or can immediately engage.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) adds long-range burst and objective fight impact; use it to confirm picks or force Twitch back.
First completed mage poke item reduces (W) cooldown, enabling safer waveclear and more confident trades.
Track (R) cooldown to pressure Twitch during its downtime, reducing his all-in threat.

Win conditions

Convert poke damage and wave control into turret plate damage using (W) executes.
Punish Twitch's overextensions for CS to build health and item leads before dragon fights.
Use lane priority to set up safe recalls and control vision, denying Twitch stealth angles and flank opportunities.
