| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Ziggs pokes you off-screen with Q and shoves with W at Level 1. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | At Level 2 his Q bounce and W shove keep you pinned and chunked. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 stays Ziggs's as his E minefield zones your walk-up. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Levels 4-5 favour Ziggs's percent-HP poke with no gap-closer for you. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | Level 6 flips to you as your HP starts tanking his poke to close in. |
| First item | Dr. Mundo | At first item your HP and MR let you walk him down and kill on contact. |
| Two+ items | Dr. Mundo | At 2+ items you're immune to his poke and delete him once you reach him. |
Ziggs owns Levels 1-5: he pokes you from off-screen with Q, shoves with W Satchel, and lays E mines to zone your CS while you have no way to close the gap. Take short trades only when his Q is down, buy MR and boots early, and accept you'll lose some plates to his shove.
