Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1ZiggsZiggs's Bouncing Bomb outranges anything you can threaten at level 1 and strips your Permafrost armor on contact — take W, last-hit, and give up the early pressure entirely.
Level 2ZiggsSatchel Charge (W) is online and will knock back your Arctic Assault clean — without a CC chain to follow up, stepping up just burns your dash for nothing.
Level 3ZiggsYour full Q-W-E combo exists but Ziggs can still Satchel Charge mid-dash and reset the engagement; only commit when you see that W icon on cooldown.
Levels 4-5ZiggsNo tank stats and no reliable way to close — his Hexplosive Minefield slows your approach and Bouncing Bomb free-pokes you off every attempt to step up.
Level 6ZiggsGlacial Prison gives you a genuine kill threat at range, but he can knock the comet with Satchel Charge if he reacts — throw it at his feet, not at his body.
First itemZiggsSunfire Aegis lets you eat one or two bombs in the Q dash without dying, making the engage finally reliable when Satchel Charge is on cooldown.
Two+ itemsEven / skillYour CC chain in teamfights outvalues any lane deficit — R into Permafrost on two targets decides the game, not the farm score from laning.

Early game (levels 1–5)

You have no meaningful window here. Ziggs's Bouncing Bomb lands at a range you cannot threaten at level 1, and his Hexplosive Minefield (E) punishes any step toward him by shredding your Permafrost armor the moment it procs. Take W first for the double-strike pattern, start Doran's Shield with Second Wind, and accept that the first three levels are about denying him free poke rather than ever trading. If he missteps under tower or wastes Satchel Charge on a minion, you can land one Q-W-W-E chain — but do not burn your Arctic Assault unless you see Satchel Charge already on cooldown, or he just knocks you away and laughs.
