Read from K'Sante's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ziggs.
This is K'Sante's own plan; across 557 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Ziggs out-ranges you with Q bombs and you only have Q — you can't trade, so just farm at max range and concede the level. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | He still pokes you walking up to CS, but you pick up Path Maker and get safer — a wash, neither side kills. |
| Level 3 | K'Sante | Your Q-W is online — W-stun him and Ntofo-pull the instant he steps up to shove, while Satchel Charge sits on 20s. |
| Levels 4-5 | K'Sante | You out-trade him at melee range with your bulk and lockdown — every time he over-extends to push, you punish. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | All Out wins the 1v1 and gap-closes, but it strips your tankiness — a coinflip if Satchel Charge is up to knock you away. |
| First item | K'Sante | Iceborn Gauntlet's slow lets you finally stick through his kite and force a side fight he can't escape. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | He out-scales hard — 850-range bombs and a 5000-range R out-range your whole kit, and armour does nothing to AP. |
Ziggs out-ranges everything you have at Levels 1-2 — Bouncing Bomb is 850 to your 450 — so take the safe CS at the tip of your Q and accept some chip. The lane turns at Level 3: the second he steps forward to shove, W-charge in for the stun, then pull him with the 2-stack Ntofo and make him pay for the poke he was free-casting. Watch his auto wind-up too: Short Fuse is an attack reset. He has zero escape once you reach him — reaching him is the whole problem.
