Arcane Comet
Damaging a champion with an ability hurls a comet at their location, or, if Arcane Comet is on cooldown, reduces its remaining cooldown.
Adaptive Damage : 30 - 130 based on level (+0.05 AP and+0.1 bonus AD )
Cooldown: 20 - 8s
Cooldown Reduction:
Single Target: 20%.
Area of Effect: 10%.
Damage over Time: 5%.Why?
As an artillery mage, Ziggs is able to repeatedly proc Comet from safety. His low cooldown on [Q] also allows him to refresh the Comet cooldown quickly. Using [E] to proc Comet will result in a must higher hit percentage.

After reaching 250 bonus mana, restore 1% of your missing mana every 5 seconds.
Cooldown: 15 secondsWhy?

Level 11: On Champion takedown, reduce the remaining cooldown of basic abilities by 20%.Why?
With Transcendence you're able to hit 40% CDR with just Morello's and Lich Bane. With such a low CD on [Q] you can shred towers with your passive, Lich Bane, and [W].
Scorch
Your next damaging ability hit sets champions on fire dealing 20 - 40 bonus magic damage based on level after 1s.
Cooldown: 10sWhy?
Between frequent comet procs and Scorch, Ziggs can can rain down **lane pressure** from afar with accurate [Q]s. If you think you're going to lose early, wave clear and stall for a late game with Gathering Storm.
