| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is an even poke exchange decided by who dodges the Q-bounce. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 both trade range for range with no clear favorite yet. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Through level 3 his waveclear and your range keep the lane balanced. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | At 4-5 neither converts poke into a kill, so it stays skill-even. |
| Level 6 | Zoe | At 6 your Bubble burst threatens an immobile Ziggs his R can't save. |
| First item | Zoe | First item your Ludens one-shot lands guaranteed on a dashless target. |
| Two+ items | Zoe | Two-plus items your fog Bubble picks him before he can create distance. |
The first few levels are an even poke war decided by skill: Ziggs Q-bounces chip you and shove the wave, but you out-range his direct all-in, so sidestep the bounce, trade Paddle Star for his Q, and don't eat free minefield damage.
