Read from Kled's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ziggs.
This is Kled's own plan; across 153 pooled games the lane is leaning Kled.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Ziggs' bouncing Q bomb pokes Skaarl's mount health from outside your range and you have no level-1 poke to answer. |
| Level 2 | Kled | W comes online — your on-hit shotgun shots plus a Q-yank let you close and out-trade his single bomb. |
| Level 3 | Kled | Full re-E (E through, W procs, re-E back) bursts an escape-less Ziggs before he can W-satchel away. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kled | You stack W procs and remount off any trade, while his cooldowns can't sustain repeated all-ins. |
| Level 6 | Kled | R (Chaaaaaaaaarge) knocks him out of position or extends a gank — he has no mobility to escape the charge. |
| First item | Kled | Eclipse/Trinity sheen on your percent-HP Q yank is your peak burst — every E-W-E kills a squishy here. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | Ziggs out-scales hard: his bombs and slowing minefield zone you out of all-in range before you reach him. |
Level 1 belongs to Ziggs — his bouncing Q bomb chips Skaarl's mount health from a range you cannot answer, so don't greed creeps in the open, soak XP and protect your health bar. The lane flips at 2: once W is up, walk your Q (Bear Trap) into him to stick the slow, then reactivate to yank yourself on top and unload the on-hit shotgun shots. At 3 with the full re-E (E through, W procs, re-E back) you delete a squishy Ziggs who has no dash to escape — and any chip he did to Skaarl heals back when you remount.
