| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Warwick-favoured: Q Jaws healing shrugs off his level-1 Bouncing Bomb chip. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Skill: closing distance on his Q poke is a trade-off both ways at level 2. |
| Level 3 | Warwick | Warwick-favoured: W Blood Hunt speed lets you punish him when his Q is down. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Ziggs-favoured: by 4-5 his Q poke and W disengage zone you off the wave. |
| Level 6 | Warwick | Warwick-favoured: at 6 your R kills him if it lands after his Satchel is spent. |
| First item | Ziggs | Ziggs-favoured: his first AP item chips you down before your dive lands. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | Ziggs-favoured: full items let him kite you forever with W, E, and Q range. |
Level 1-2 is skill-based: Ziggs zones with Q Bouncing Bomb and you take chip closing the gap, but Q Jaws of the Beast healing keeps you healthy if you dodge his bombs. Farm what you safely can and wait for your speed spike.
