| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Samira | Ziggs has no early auto damage, so you win the level-1 shove and trade. |
| Level 2 | Samira | At level 2 you out-DPS a mage who only lobs poke bombs. |
| Level 3 | Samira | Level 3 gives you the dashes to dodge his Q and Minefield and close in. |
| Levels 4-5 | Samira | Through 4-5 you punish every Satchel-down window for a free trade. |
| Level 6 | Samira | Your level-6 R deletes an immobile Ziggs after his W is spent. |
| First item | Samira | On one item your all-in burst beats his poke-only kit. |
| Two+ items | Samira | At two-plus items his total lack of mobility and steroids means your dive still kills him. |
Ziggs has no auto-attack DPS and only lobbed poke, so you win the early lane: weave behind minions to dodge Bouncing Bomb, don't walk into his Minefield, and shove so he's stuck under tower while you deny his poke windows.
