| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Ziggs outranges your Q at level 1 and pokes you freely as you last-hit. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | At level 2 his Q bounce and shortbomb keep chunking you with no way to answer. |
| Level 3 | Vex | By level 3 your E and W let you contest the wave and zone his poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vex | Through 4-5 you can walk his bombs down and force him off farm with fear. |
| Level 6 | Vex | At 6 your R erases his range gap and turns lane into your all-in. |
| First item | Vex | With first item your R-dive combo bursts him before his satchel peels. |
| Two+ items | Vex | At two items your pick and fear delete an immobile poke mage every fight. |
Ziggs outranges you hard at levels 1-2: his Q bounces over the minions and chunks you every time you step to CS, and you have no way to close the gap yet, so concede a little wave and dodge rather than trade.
