The magic damage that Ziggs deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Ahri has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Ziggs player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Ahri player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
