Guide to Synergizing Ziggs and Zilean

Tips for Playing as Ziggs with Zilean

Even if you're far from a fight you can still help from afar with Mega Inferno Bomb.

Slowing your enemies with Hexplosive Minefield makes it easier to land other abilities.

Knocking yourself over walls with Satchel Charge can be great when chasing after or escaping from enemies.

Advice to Understand How Zilean Will Play

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.
