|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Level 1 your Q out-ranges his Breath of Light. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Level 2 W push zones him off the wave. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | At 3 you poke and shove faster than he stacks. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Level 4 you still starve his stardust before his spike. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | Level 5 your poke keeps him low and reactive. |
| First item | Aurelion Sol | Level 6 his R and Astral Flight enable his stack all-in. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With 2+ items your siege and clear out-scale his farm pace. |
You control levels 1-5: your Q and W push out-range his Breath of Light, so poke and shove to starve his stardust stacks before he scales. Deny him free farm at all costs. Track Astral Flight: 22s at rank 1, 1500 range, and it crosses terrain — the wall behind you is not a retreat. Your Q bounce out-ranges his Breath of Light, so shove with W and poke him off farm before he stacks stardust; he can only trade by walking into your minefield.
