How to win lane as Ziggs against Zeri · 50.22% win rate over 1,788 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Level 1 favours Ziggs since his Q out-ranges Zeri's short auto-range Burst Fire. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Level 2 stays Ziggs's as he pokes freely while Zeri must be in auto range to farm. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 is Ziggs-favoured: full kit zones Zeri off CS and controls the wave. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | At 4-5 Ziggs keeps starving Zeri's farm before her item spike lands. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | At 6 Ziggs stays ahead as his R finishes a low Zeri who has no escape ult. |
| First item | Zeri | On first item Zeri's Lightning Crash and move-speed ramp let her out-DPS and out-skirmish Ziggs. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | With two-plus items Ziggs's safe artillery spacing beats squishy, R-reliant Zeri again. |
Levels 1-5 are firmly yours: Zeri's Burst Fire is auto-range while your Q pokes from afar, so zone her off CS with bombs and minefields and keep her farm starved. Deny the early gold she needs and don't let her free-hit you with W slows into a gank.
