| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lucian | You outrange-trade and poke the immobile Ziggs freely at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Lucian | Level 2 lets you punish his bomb cast animations and keep CS. |
| Level 3 | Lucian | At 3 you close the mobility gap and all-in a mage with no escape. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lucian | Through 4-5 you dodge his poke and bait Satchel to stay ahead. |
| Level 6 | Lucian | At 6 you bait Satchel then dash in and burst him with The Culling. |
| First item | Lucian | Your first-item spike deletes his low HP before his poke matters. |
| Two+ items | Lucian | Your mobility and marksman scaling keep you ahead even at two-plus items. |
Levels 1-2 are yours. Ziggs must step up to lob Bouncing Bomb, and he's immobile with no auto trade, so poke him with Q Piercing Light and punish his cast animations. Space behind minions to eat less of his bomb and keep the CS advantage.
