How it works

General

  1. This build is all about Imperial Mandate and slowing your enemies.
  2. You support your team through disrupting fights, slowing enemies, providing healing/buffs, and soaking damage.

Champion

  1. You Satchel Charge (W) triggers Glacial Augment.
  2. Your Satchel Charge (W), Hexplosive Minefield (E) and Glacial triggers Font of Life. You can buy Rylai's Crystal Scepter for even more slows on Bouncing Bomb (Q).

Playstyle

  1. Disrupt fights with slows and CC. ❄️
  2. Proc Imperial Mandate and Font of Life frequently. ⚡
  3. Support allies. 🎯
  4. Adapt items to counter enemy team. 🛡️

How to play

Imperial Mandate Ziggs

  1. Skill order is flexible. Level first:
    • Satchel Charge (W) - if you are against ranged or if enemy team has tons of engage.
    • Hexplosive Minefield (E) - if enemy team is full of melee champions.

General

  1. Your core is Imperial Mandate, optionally Rylai's Crystal Scepter for more consistent slows.
  2. Your CC triggers Glacial Augment that slows AOE. All Slows trigger Font of Life AND Imperial Mandate, healing and buffing your allies.

How Imperial Mandate works

  1. Imperial Mandate requires your TEAM to proc it for damage. Try coordinating it with your allies - mark targets when they're about to get poked or when your team goes in.

Buffing your team

  1. Font of Life heal triggers various support items like Ardent Censer, Staff of Flowing Water or even Moonstone Renewer!
  2. If your team needs sustain, you can even get Diadem of Songs.
  3. If your team has auto attackers, get Ardent Censer. Your Font of Life will buff them constantly.
  4. Bandlepipes is excellent - gives MS and buffs allies' attack speed when you CC/slow enemies.
  5. Staff of Flowing Water is good item if you have lots of AP scaling champions on the team.

Adaptation

  1. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR items like Kaenic Rookern or Spirit Visage.
  2. Enemy team heavy on AD? Buy Armor items like Thornmail or Randuin's Omen.
  3. Your team lacks damage? You can buy damage items - Liandry's Torment or Blackfire Torch work well.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. You can do an instant jump if you place your Satchel Charge (W) directly under you, instead of placing it before you and walking to it.

Riot

  1. Even if you're far from a fight you can still help from afar with Mega Inferno Bomb.
  2. Slowing your enemies with Hexplosive Minefield makes it easier to land other abilities.
  3. Knocking yourself over walls with Satchel Charge can be great when chasing after or escaping from enemies.
