How to win lane as Ziggs against Katarina · 46.69% win rate over 619 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | You win Level 1 because your poke chips her while she has no way to trade back. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | You win Level 2 because E minefield already denies her free dagger pickups. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | You win Level 3 because E plus W Satchel breaks her reset-dive attempts. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even because a well-timed R Death Lotus can flip a trade if you misspace. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | You win Level 6 because W knockback plus minefield can interrupt her ult channel. |
| First item | Ziggs | You win first item because your poke keeps her below dagger-reset value. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | You win at 2+ items because your range beats her all-in as long as you hold W for her engage. |
Levels 1-3 you zone her hard: E Hexplosive Minefield parks on her Q Bouncing Blade dagger spots so she can't pick them up for free, and Bouncing Bomb chips her while W Satchel resets any walk-up she tries.
