How to beat Ziggs as Seraphine: the early game

Levels 1-5 belong to Ziggs: his Bouncing Bomb out-ranges your E-Q and bounces over the minion wall to poke you off the CS line, so you eat chip damage and farm cautiously. Use minions to body-block his Q and don't over-extend into his zone. He out-ranges you, so use the minion wall as cover and take the CS the bombs cannot reach. Let the wave rather than the poke war build your notes. The satchel is the only escape in his kit, and slowing him as he uses it is the single way this lane produces a kill.
