Read from Veigar's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ziggs.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Ziggs's Bouncing Bomb outranges your Baleful Strike and shoves the wave at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | At 2 his poke keeps chunking you off every last-hit while you can't answer. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 his Q and wave control deny your stacks and zone you off CS. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Through 4-5 Satchel Charge lets him disengage your all-in while his poke keeps leading. |
| Level 6 | Veigar | At 6 your Primordial Burst is a point-click nuke that finally out-trades his poke. |
| First item | Veigar | With your first AP item your E-Q-R combo deletes the squishy Ziggs before he can Satchel away. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | Into two items your burst one-shots the caged Ziggs while he falls off to pure poke, keeping you ahead. |
Levels 1-2 belong to Ziggs. Bouncing Bomb outranges your Baleful Strike and shoves the wave, so he pokes you every time you go for a last hit and you can't answer without walking into his damage. Play safe under tower and give up some CS rather than trade into his range. He out-ranges you and shoves the wave, so take the executes you can reach and accept the chip. Stay off the bounce path. Hover the cage for the moment he satchels toward you, because that is the only time he is inside your range and the only kill this matchup produces.
