| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even; it hinges on dodging his first Bouncing Bomb. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 you can still shove and trade autos into his poke. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Through 3 it stays a skill lane of wave control and bomb dodging. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | At 4 his Q poke and perma-shove pin you under tower. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | His Mega Inferno Bomb at 6 zones and executes you from range. |
| First item | Jinx | Your first item and resets let you match his shove and poke back. |
| Two+ items | Jinx | Late your sustained carry DPS out-scales his single-target bombs. |
The first levels are an even skill lane: Ziggs pokes with Q but you can shove back and trade autos, so it comes down to who dodges bombs and controls the wave better.
