Read from Pantheon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ziggs.
This is Pantheon's own plan; across 620 pooled games the lane is leaning Ziggs.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | You have point-and-click W-stun damage and one of the strongest level 1s; his Q bomb is the only tool he has and it's a dodgeable lob. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Your level 2 W-Q all-in lands before his single-ability poke can trade back — he has no dash to escape the stun. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | With all three basics you E through a bomb, W-stun, and empowered-Q burst him faster than he can Satchel away. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | His Q poke starts to stack and he stabilizes, but you still have the kill threat — it's a coin-flip on who respects the all-in. |
| Level 6 | Pantheon | Grand Starfall gives you a screens-away leap onto him or a roam — your only on-demand answer to his range advantage. |
| First item | Ziggs | His first AP item turns the Q bombs into real chunks and the Satchel knockback denies your W engage — the range gap opens up. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | Liandry's bombs, minefield zoning and Satchel anti-gap mean he pokes you down from max range and you can never reach him. |
Levels 1-3 are the whole lane and you have to win them. Bouncing Bomb reaches 850 to your Comet Spear's 575, and on a 4-6s cooldown you can never wait it out — sidestep the lob instead. Hard-engage at level 2 with W-Q: dash on, stun, empowered-Q burst, and his only escape is Satchel Charge, which he must aim under his own feet. Raise Aegis Assault facing him to eat a bomb for free while you close — it turns away damage from the front only.
