How to win lane as Zeri against Ziggs · 51.73% win rate over 1,738 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zeri | Your Q-dash dodges Ziggs's Bouncing Bomb and you out-auto his short range at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Zeri | At level 2 you keep pressuring past his single dodgeable poke tool. |
| Level 3 | Zeri | Level 3 lets you close behind minions and out-DPS him on the wave. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | At levels 4-5 his minefield and Satchel knockback zone you off farm. |
| Level 6 | Zeri | Your level 6 R mobility dives past his displacement to shred him. |
| First item | Zeri | First item's infinite Q uptime beats his slow AoE zoning for good. |
| Two+ items | Zeri | Two-plus items keep your mobility and teamfight range ahead of his poke. |
You hold levels 1-2: Ziggs's Bouncing Bomb is his lone early threat and your Q-dash sidesteps it, so use minions as cover, close range, and out-auto his weak base range. Deny his safe poke by threatening to walk him down whenever his Q is on cooldown.
