How to win lane as Naafiri against Ziggs · 49.35% win rate over 1,076 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Naafiri | Level 1 you out-body Ziggs, who has only Q poke and no way to answer your pressure. |
| Level 2 | Naafiri | At level 2 your extra ability holds wave and trade control his ranged poke can't punish. |
| Level 3 | Naafiri | Level 3 gives you the W-Q-E all-in that jumps past his poke and beats his kit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Naafiri | Across levels 4-5 your gap-close and packmates keep beating him whenever his W is down. |
| Level 6 | Naafiri | At 6 his R is only poke and wave-clear, so it doesn't save him from your dive. |
| First item | Naafiri | On his first item your fight burst still out-spikes his added poke in melee range. |
| Two+ items | Naafiri | At two-plus items he remains helpless once you close, so the melee advantage stays yours. |
Levels 1-2 you have the better body: Ziggs relies on Q Bouncing Bomb poke and has zero mobility outside W Satchel, so push with packmates and force him off the wave when he steps to cast.
