Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
First Buy:
Sapphire Crystal to safely farm up for the first recall items without having to back for low mana. You don't need a lot of damage in the beginning.
First re-call:
Full damage: Lost Chapter for early AP damage (more poke potential)
Defensive: Catalyst of Aeons if enemy has multiple tanks or if you are under high lane pressure/unable to sustain in lane.
FULL DAMAGE BUILD:
§ Luden's Echo provides a larger mana pool to work with and a large ability damage buff early on. Excellent for high poke damage and forcing lane opponents under tower. Always rush this item if you are going full damage.
§ Ionian Boots of Lucidity into [stasis enchant]. Ability haste as well as increased roam potential. [stasis enchant] provides some safety for those ganks or over extended moments as well as a late game safety mechanism.
§ Lich Bane decent power spike. Auto attack between abilities for maximum damage(see passive). Increases your mana pool as well as more ability haste for faster combos.
§ Rabadon's Deathcap huge power spike. Combined with your previous items, your abilities will be doing crazy amounts of damage. Excellent for one shoting squishy enemies or killing multiple low health targets with Mega Inferno Bomb
§ Morellonomicon grants healing reduction to enemies[essential due to the high healing in wild rift] provides health, ability power as well as magic penetration for more sustain and damage output.
VS TANKS BUILD:
§ buy Tear of the Goddess to start stacking but don't finish Archangel's Staff until you buy Rod of Ages . Once you have Tear of the Goddess rush Rod of Ages to start stacking its passive. That way you can upgrade Tear of the Goddess into Archangel's Staff and have both of their passives at max stack at roughly the same time.
§ Ionian Boots of Lucidity into [stasis enchant] or Teleport Enchant . Ability haste as well as increased roam potential. [stasis enchant] provides some safety for those ganks or over extended moments as well as a late game safety mechanism. Teleport Enchant will allow you to get to fights faster and potentially surprise enemies in teamfights.
§ Liandry's Torment the no.1 tank melter in Wild Rift. At this stage enemies will have decent/high amounts of health and 2 or 3 finished tank items. Liandry's Torment will allow you to shred through tanks like your favorite cake!
§ Rabadon's Deathcap huge damage increase. Combined with your previous items, your abilities will be doing crazy amounts of damage. Excellent for one shoting tanks if they haven't built many magic resistance items.
FLEXIBLE ITEMS/LAST ITEM:
§ Infinity Orb will work solidly on both build comps. Magic penetration for enemies who built MR. Its passive means your Mega Inferno Bomb has the potential to one shot multiple low hp targets for satisfying multi - kills.
§ Awakened Soulstealer excellent if you snowball early game and get multiple kills. Overall ability haste as well as a massive ult cool down reduction.
§ Teleport Enchant excellent for catching your opponent roaming or getting to an objective fight. You can push lane then teleport to their roam. I.E ASOL is roaming dragon lane. You can meet him there and help your teammates.
§ Shadows Enchant excellent for catching enemies or getting team vision. Useful for long range snipes with Mega Inferno Bomb
§ Rylai's Crystal Scepter is only good when used in conjunction with Liandry's Torment to shred tanks with little/no magic resistance.

Learn how to maximize the champions potential
Place your Satchel Charge , just before it detonates throw Hexplosive Minefield and then Bouncing Bomb . The explosion will throw both onto or near your enemies. Excellent for a suprise poke.
You just need to practice with it a bit and understand how far your abilities are thrown.
This is an all in surprise attack
If you are a small distance from an enemy or enemies. Place Satchel Charge and run in the direction of your enemies (staying in your charge circle). This will throw you towards and onto your enemies. Proceed to spam Hexplosive Minefield , Mega Inferno Bomb , Bouncing Bomb and proceed to auto attack.
With the correct build you can one shot a tank or multiple squishy/low health enemies.
You need to practice your Satchel Charge and make sure you know the throw distance.
You do not take damage from Satchel Charge
Ziggs Matchups & Counters
Detailed information on how to play matchups and counters
Keep your distance. You have twice the ability range. Just keep poking him and be aware of his roams. Buy Teleport Enchant to further force him out of the game by nullifying his attempted roams. Wouldn't be surprised if you make him rage quit.
LANE GUIDE
Refer to my match-ups page to ensure you are prepared for every mid laner.
Notes: you have the most ranged abilities next to Oriana. Use your range and damage to fully utilize ziggs and win your lane. Poke, poke, poke. Forcing your lane opponent to back means you can slowly poke down their tower. You don't have high mobility so remember to use Satchel Charge .you can throw it down to disengage a fight and force enemies back.
Early Game: you don't have anything special early on except range. Use auto attacks and Bouncing Bomb to poke opponents and clear waves. Use Hexplosive Minefield in front of your tower to kill incoming minions so opponents don't have a chance to poke you under tower or get damage onto it. Play safe, farm up and wait for ganks.
First Dragon: help your team by poking down enemies or preventing escapes by throwing down Hexplosive Minefield . You can use Mega Inferno Bomb then throw in Satchel Charge if the enemy starts dragon first. This will allow your team to burst them down since they've just taken a lot of damage and been thrown away from dragon.
Laning Phase: If you are struggling in lane don't try to roam. The enemy will read you like a book and cut you off or to will lose tower which means your team loses a Frontline safety point. You are the most important tower to defend. Farm under tower and call for ganks.
Mid Game: depending on how your early game went you might have a few kills or assists. If you are confident in your lane then buy Ionian Boots of Lucidity and Teleport Enchant to roam and help your allies lanes. You should be dealing decent damage by now. Remember to keep your distance and don't get caught out of position.
Late Game: you've got 3 or 4 items now. You are dealing loads of damage and should be able to burst down enemies with your teammates in a few seconds. Keep your distance. Poke and support you teammates with high damage output. You're a support mage for reason.

Map control: the ability to control fight outbreaks or enemy roams. Example: stopping the mid laner or jungler from roaming to your dragon laners to group attack them.
