Read from Ziggs's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Twitch.
This is Ziggs's own plan; across 4,644 pooled games the lane is leaning Twitch.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Twitch is weakest and short-ranged at level 1 while your Q pokes freely. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Level 2 keeps you ahead before his stealth and items come online. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 full poke kit out-reaches his early harass and punishes CS. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Levels 4-5 your minefield zones his flanks before his spike hits. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 it's skill: his R and stealth setup can burst you if vision slips. |
| First item | Twitch | First item flips to Twitch as crit makes his R Spray and Pray lethal. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | Late 5v5 returns to you since he must reveal into your zoning to fire R. |
Levels 1-2 are Ziggs: Twitch is at his weakest and can't contest your Q range, so chip him off farm and set E toward the brush so his stealth approach eats the minefield. Deny him early and his scaling stalls. He is at his weakest and cannot contest your reach, so chip him off the farm and mine the brush he wants. The empowered auto pays for every step forward. Keep the satchel for the instant he appears, and cash the crash rather than chasing him into fog.
