Read from Ziggs's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sivir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Ziggs Q out-ranges Sivir's Boomerang Blade at level 1 for free poke. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Level 2 lets you keep chipping her step-up CS before she has tools. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 full poke kit still beats her short-range harass. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Levels 4-5 your minefield zones her while her items aren't online yet. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 it's a skill ult trade since her R MS can dodge or engage your bomb. |
| First item | Sivir | First item flips to Sivir as her crit and W ricochet shove and freeze you. |
| Two+ items | Sivir | Late-game Sivir dominates with R engage and Spell Shield eating your key spells. |
Levels 1-2 favour Ziggs on raw range: your Q reaches past her Boomerang Blade, so chip her every time she moves to CS and drop E on the choke. Just respect her Spell Shield once it's up and never throw your only spell into it. Your reach beats her Boomerang, so chip her every time she moves to a minion and let the wave come to you. Her shield eats one bomb, so send a cheap one first. Lay the minefield on the ground she pushes through, and take the plate rather than a poke war she can shield out of.
