Read from Ziggs's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ekko.
This is Ziggs's own plan; across 1,245 pooled games the lane is leaning Ekko.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | You dominate level 1 with ranged Q versus his melee kit. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Level 2 you keep chunking him as his Q out-ranges nothing of yours. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | At 3 your full kit zones him off CS and denies the all-in. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 hinge on your spacing and holding Satchel for his dash. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 your Satchel disengage neutralizes his Chronobreak reset all-in. |
| First item | Even / skill | First-item you shove and poke while he needs a full combo to threaten you. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With 2+ items your siege range and minefield keep him from diving freely. |
Levels 1-3 are yours: Ekko is melee and his 1075 Timewinder is a dodgeable grenade, so open with Bouncing Bomb pokes and Short Fuse autos every time he walks up, while Phase Dive is still 9s. Track Phase Dive is 9s at rank 1, 7s maxed, and reaches only 325 — he must already be close. Timewinder actually reaches 1075 to your 850, but it rewinds back to him — stand off the return line, chunk him when he walks up, and deny free Parallel Convergence procs on the wave.
