How to play Ziggs in ARAM Mayhem

Ziggs is a solid, middle-of-the-pack pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier B, #111 of 173 champions, with a 48.5% win rate over 1,310,943 games.

93% of Ziggs's damage to champions is magic, so enemy magic resist is what slows it down. It dies only 8.6 times per game on average, fewer than most.

The AP build, ability power items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Blackfire Torch, Liandry's Torment and Rabadon's Deathcap, with a 47.8% win rate over 896,624 games. For boots, Sorcerer's Shoes are both the most bought and the top-ranked pair.

The cards that do best on Ziggs are Homeguard, Giant Slayer and BEES!!!. Cards built around ability haste fill most of the top of its list, followed by movement speed. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Rite of Ascension and Upgrade Sheen when you can: they do worst on Ziggs. A pair to look for: Hand of Baron with Stats on Stats!.

Take Flash and Ghost (60% of players). Max Q (Bouncing Bomb) first, then E, then W.
