| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is an even skill check since Ziggs pokes but can't kill you. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 it stays skill-based, decided by whether you dodge his Bouncing Bomb. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 remains even as neither of you can commit a kill through the poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | At 4-5 Ziggs's Satchel disengage and stacked poke deny your all-in range. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | At 6 his Mega Inferno Bomb and W disengage beat your fresh Final Hour. |
| First item | Vayne | With one item Vayne's true damage and mobility overpower his squishy zoning. |
| Two+ items | Vayne | In the 2+ item phase Vayne's kiting hard-outscales Ziggs's single poke pattern. |
Levels 1-2 are an even skill matchup: Ziggs pokes with Bouncing Bomb but can't threaten a kill, so it comes down to your dodging, last-hitting cleanly behind minions and using Tumble to sidestep his Q bounces without wasting it.
