How to win lane as Ziggs against Pantheon · 53.38% win rate over 311 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | You out-range Pantheon at level 1 and can Q-poke him freely before his all-in threat exists |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Your Q bounce and E chip win the level-2 trade while his Comet Spear is on cooldown |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | At 3 you have full poke and can zone him off the wave with Hexplosive Minefield |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Neither has a clean edge at 4-5 — his empowered all-in trades even against your kite tools |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | Your Mega Inferno Bomb answers his roams and dives, keeping the lane in your favour |
| First item | Ziggs | First item lets you two-shot the wave and shove him under tower past his short cooldowns |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | At two items you out-range and out-teamfight him, forcing his gap-close to be purely reactive |
You out-range Pantheon at every level; poke with Q from behind your caster minions and never let him free-cast Comet Spear (Q) at you. Respect his level-1/2 all-in only if you're pushed up — hold E for the moment he steps in.
