| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even as you shelter behind minions from his Q and neither side can commit. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 it stays skill-based while you dodge Bouncing Bomb and deny him an all-in target. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 Satchel Charge cancels your dash and lets Ziggs zone the melee, taking control. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Through 4-5 his long-range Q poke and knockback keep you pinned and behind. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | At 6 Mega Inferno Bomb adds execute and poke pressure your engage can't answer cleanly. |
| First item | Ziggs | First item his AP poke ramps and minefields make your all-in too risky to commit. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | With two-plus items his range and self-peel keep him ahead in the sustained poke war. |
Levels 1-2 are a rough but even skill lane: his Q out-ranges you so you hide behind minions to last-hit and eat as little poke as possible while waiting for a jungler.
