Read from Tryndamere's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ziggs.
This is Tryndamere's own plan; across 948 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even skill because his Q out-ranges you but you can dodge it through brush and minions. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays even as his poke chips you but he has no all-in threat yet. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even since his W and E zoning offset your attempts to close. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain even with his full poke-and-zone kit holding you at range. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even because his R adds burst but your Undying Rage lets you survive it. |
| First item | Tryndamere | At first item you pull ahead: crit and boots let you gap-close through his zoning and burst him. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | With 2+ items you isolate and kill him in a sidelane his poke can't defend. |
The whole early game is even and skill-based: Ziggs' Bouncing Bomb out-ranges your autos and chips you every time you step up, but you can dodge it by pathing through brush and minions. Deny his free poke, take short trades when his Q is down, and don't over-extend into his E field with no escape.
