| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | You out-range Talon massively at level 1 and poke for free. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Level 2 W or E gives you a disengage tool before he can commit. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | At 3 your full combo shoves and chunks him whenever he walks up. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Level 4-5 is skill: his roam timing versus your wave control. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | Your R punishes his level 6 roam harder than his ult helps him. |
| First item | Ziggs | First item turns your safe poke into kill pressure he can't answer. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | With two items your zone control shuts his all-in down entirely. |
You out-range Talon hard at levels 1-2: your Q bounces from a screen away while he has to walk into melee to trade, so autofill Short Fuse pokes on cooldown and never let him get free last-hits.
