Ziggs
GameplayZiggs is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities[]
- Bouncing Bomb can be thrown or bounce over units/terrain.
- Spell shield will block the damage of the explosion, but the explosion can still damage other targets in the radius.
- Ziggs will throw the bomb from his location at the end of the cast time, towards the pre-clamped cast location, causing the bounces to adjust their angle accordingly.
- The initial cast counts as an ability activation for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and triggering Force Pulse's passive.
- Detonating the ability manually does not.
- Deals area damage to non-turrets and raw damage to turrets.
- Satchel Charge's distance increases with proximity to the charge, resulting in being knocked straight up when aligned directly on top of it.
- Ziggs will not dash from Satchel Charge's detonation while Teleporting but he will while Recalling.
- Howling Abyss differences edit
- Tower execute threshold reduced to 12.5 / 15 / 17.5 / 20 / 22.5% of turret's maximum health.
- Cooldown changed to 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10 seconds.
- The mine cluster is built of 2 rings, with 3 mines in the inner ring (radius pending for test) and 8 mines on the other ring (200 radius), all equally spaced.
- The angular offset is randomized on each cast.
- Because of the 135 detonation radius of each mine, the total possible range of a mine from the minefield hitting an enemy from the cast location is 335 units. It will often be slightly less as the minefield is not guaranteed to be angled the right way for this.
- Mines will not explode upon contact with player-generated terrain.
- Spell shield will block the effects of a single detonation.
- Allies cannot see Mega Inferno Bomb's area indicator until shortly before the blast.
- Mega Inferno Bomb takes 2.64 seconds from the start of the cast time to land when Ziggs casts at maximum range (reduced to 1.617 seconds from the start of the cast time when casting within 2700 units).
- When cast within 2700 units, Mega Inferno Bomb has a fixed travel time. Beyond that, the travel time is equal to the cast distance divided by the now-fixed missile speed.
- The area reveal on the target location begins as soon as the cast time is completed and can see into brush and across terrain.
Champion skins[]

With a love of big bombs and short fuses, the yordle Ziggs is an explosive force of nature. As an inventor’s assistant in Piltover, he was bored by his predictable life and befriended a mad, blue-haired bomber named Jinx. After a wild night on the town, Ziggs took her advice and moved to Zaun, where he now explores his fascinations more freely, terrorizing the chem-barons and regular citizens alike in his never ending quest to blow stuff up.
