| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ekko | Ekko already wins level 1 trades since Ziggs has no mobility to punish your dash-based engages. |
| Level 2 | Ekko | Level 2 continues to favor Ekko as his hop-and-stun combo outclasses Ziggs' immobile poke kit. |
| Level 3 | Ekko | Levels 3-5 favor Ekko because he can punish Ziggs' Satchel Charge usage with a free all-in window. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ekko | The mid-game power spike still favors Ekko as his engage range keeps outclassing Ziggs' kiting options. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Ekko's level 6 Chronobreak lets him dive through Ziggs' zone control and win the skirmish outright. |
| First item | Even / skill | Ekko continues to dominate skirmishes since his dash negates Ziggs' single defensive tool. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Ekko's item power and reset potential make him a dominant late-game threat against an immobile mage. |
From level 1 you already hold the edge because Ziggs has no mobility to punish your E-hop engages, and by levels 3-5 you can all-in the instant he uses Satchel Charge to zone since it's his only escape and now down for the whole wave, letting you snowball the lane hard if you play aggressively. Track Ziggs Satchel Charge: 20s at rank 1 down to 12s at rank 5 — his only escape, and it knocks you away mid-dive.
