Game plan

Ziggy summons lightning strikes on a target from long range. His Super creates a large electric storm that travels fast but slows down while it damages enemies. He controls space and punishes enemies who cluster.

1. Aim lightning at stationary targets and objectives.
2. Send the storm through groups. It slows down while dealing damage, so it lingers on clusters.
3. Use your gadget teleport to reposition.

Drafting Ziggy

When to pick

Pick Ziggy in Hot Zone and Gem Grab, where enemies must stand still on the objective.

Ban or not
