Her stream needs a lane your bombs rent out — splash the formation, satchel the all-in, and demolish the towers her farm lived under.
Track: Vayne's E — Condemn (20–12s cooldown). Wall-stuns you — never fight her with terrain at your back.
Read from Ziggs's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vayne.
This is Ziggs's own plan; across 4,506 pooled games the lane is leaning Vayne.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Level 1 favours Ziggs since Vayne has no early damage and Ziggs pressures the wave immediately. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Level 2 stays Ziggs's: his Q range dwarfs Vayne's short auto and Tumble range. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 is Ziggs-favoured as his full kit zones Vayne off CS with poke and minefields. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | At 4-5 Ziggs keeps starving Vayne's farm before she can reach any item spike. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | At 6 Ziggs's R executes a low Vayne from range she cannot escape or answer. |
| First item | Vayne | On first item Vayne's Final Hour and Silver Bolts true damage let her all-in and out-duel Ziggs. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | With two-plus items Ziggs reclaims the edge as safe artillery that never lets Vayne reach him. |
Levels 1-4 are heavily yours: Vayne has almost no early poke or wave presence, so zone her off CS with Q bounces and E minefields and deny her the farm she desperately needs. Keep her under tower and starve her early item timings before she can spike. She brings almost no poke and no wave presence, so zone the CS with bounces and mine the ground she has to walk. Each tumble in pays for itself with the empowered auto. Fight away from the side walls, and cash the crash into a plate instead of a chase.
