Read from Ziggs's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yasuo.
This is Ziggs's own plan; across 4,670 pooled games the lane is leaning Ziggs.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Your Q outranges his walk-up harass and E punishes melee farming at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 minefield plus Short Fuse autos keep him from stepping onto the wave. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | At 3 you hold Satchel to knock him out of his airborne Q all-in. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 hinge on Wind Wall reads versus your poke — a true skill window. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | Your level 6 Mega Inferno Bomb zones his farm and any lane roam. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item turns one landed Q into a chunk he cannot heal back. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | With items you kite at max range behind minions where his dashes never reach. |
You win levels 1-3 outright: your Q outranges his auto harass and Hexplosive Minefield makes the wave miserable for a melee who wants to dash through minions to farm. Auto-attack him with Short Fuse when he steps up. Track Wind Wall: 25s at rank 1, 4s long, and it eats only projectiles — your Q and R. Your Q first-bounce range outclasses his walk-up, and E on the wave denies him free flow-stacking last hits without eating minefield damage.
