Read from Lissandra's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ziggs.
This is Lissandra's own plan; across 3,045 pooled games the lane is leaning Ziggs.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even as Ziggs pokes but neither of you can commit a kill. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays a skill check with his range against your dodging and wave play. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 remains even as his poke and Satchel-clear offset your desire to engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay skill-based: stacking health won't blunt Satchel, so dodge and pick your walk-up. |
| Level 6 | Lissandra | At level 6 you pull ahead because your R and gap-close let you all-in through his weak self-peel. |
| First item | Lissandra | At first item you keep the edge whenever you can reach him with E-Flash into your combo. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With two-plus items you still win the all-in but must flank his long-range siege to land it. |
Levels 1-5 are a skill matchup that tilts uncomfortable for you: Ziggs out-ranges your Q 850 to 725 and shoves faster with Satchel, so you eat poke walking up. Dodge his Q, use minions as cover, and don't int into his minefield trying to force something you can't reach yet. Track Satchel Charge is 20s at rank 1 and 12s at rank 5 — it knocks him away, so he is catchable only while it is down. It governs your forward steps.
