| Stage | Favoured | Why |

| Levels 4-5 | Wukong | Level 4-5 your E-Q all-in bursts him once you're in melee. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | At 6 his poke and Satchel self-peel keep you off him. |
| First item | Wukong | On first item you spike ahead — your Trinity-Q burst and Nimbus gap-close punish Ziggs before his artillery item online, so all-in the moment his Satchel is down. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With 2+ items it evens out as you build MR and play flanks. |
Level 1 Ziggs' Bouncing Bomb poke chunks you before you have gap-closers, so respect his range; levels 2-3 even out as you gain E to threaten a dash.
