Best Iggy Build, Rune Page & Guide for 2026

If the enemy team has too much hard crowd control, build Gilded Greaves instead of Enchanted Kicks .

If the opponent has a lot of strong healing, build Tome of the Reaper instead of Boomstick .

Finish upgrading Spoopy Mask into Soaring Aura if the enemy team is squishy, or Staff of Nuul if they build a lot of magic resistance.

If you want to spam Skill 3 Ember's Gaze continuously, build Flashy Boots .

Basic Iggy combo:

1. Use Skill 1 Explosive Fireball continuously to chip the enemy’s health.
2. Activate Skill 2 Fire Shadow for a speed boost, then close in to knock the enemy back. (Remember to keep at least 1 passive Gaze charge in reserve)
3. Move while holding Skill 1 Explosive Fireball to continuously unload damage on the target.
4. If the enemy runs out of range, activate Skill 3 Ember's Gaze to finish them off.

The key when comboing Iggy is the skill of moving while spamming Skill 1 Explosive Fireball , so practice this a lot.

Passive Gaze :

• Watch how many charges your passive bar has to know how many times you can use Skill 1 Explosive Fireball in a row.

Skill 1 Explosive Fireball :

• Spam this skill continuously to clear minions fast and poke from range.
• Hold down Skill 1 while moving toward the target and it will auto-fire and land on the enemy.
• Keep just enough distance to stay within Skill 1’s range while moving.

Skill 2 Fire Shadow :

• After landing Skill 2 on an enemy, unload Skill 1 Explosive Fireball on them continuously, since Skill 1 costs no mana at that point
• Take good advantage of the bonus movement speed to both chase with Skill 1 Explosive Fireball and pursue the enemy.
• Activate Skill 2 for a speed boost, and if an enemy closes in to attack, press it again to knock them away.
• Use this skill to move from base to lane and rotate lanes much faster.

Skill 3 Ember's Gaze :

• Time it for when enemy heroes are standing close together, then cast it to hit multiple targets at once.
• Use this skill last to finish off enemy heroes who’ve run out of the fight’s range.
• Sometimes, hold and cancel the skill to gain extra vision and control the map.

At the start of the match, clear minions fast with Skill 1 Explosive Fireball to reach level 2, then rotate to gank right away, since just a 2-skill combo from Iggy is already very strong.

It’s best to gank top (Caesar lane) first for an easier kill, then take advantage of Skill 2’s Fire Shadow high movement speed to return and clear mid minions fast.

In the first few levels, just combo Skill 2 Fire Shadow then unload Skill 1 Explosive Fireball continuously, and very few heroes can duel Iggy .

By the mid game, Iggy ‘s playstyle doesn’t change much — still clear minions fast then rotate to join fights.

While ganking continuously, remember to keep Skill 2 Fire Shadow in reserve in case you’re suddenly attacked, since it grants a speed boost and knockback to save your life.

If you can’t reach a fight in time, use Skill 3 Ember's Gaze to deal damage from range.

By the late game, move with your team to be ready for full team fights, and try to stack 2 charges of Skill 3 Ember's Gaze before joining an important fight.

At the start of the fight, drop Skill 3 Ember's Gaze once onto the enemy’s cluster to deal huge damage and break their formation.

Then hold a good position and spam Skill 1 Explosive Fireball to poke. Watch for when the enemy’s core damage dealer is low on health, then drop Skill 3 Ember's Gaze again to finish them off.
