| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Ziggs wins level 1 with Bouncing Bomb (Q) out-ranging everything you have. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | At 2 his Hexplosive Minefield (E) zones your approach and keeps you eating poke. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | At 3 Satchel Charge (W) knocks back your only engage tool, so he controls the trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Levels 4-5 his long-range poke keeps chipping you with no safe way to retaliate. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | At 6 his Mega Inferno Bomb (R) adds waveclear and global chip while he plays max range. |
| First item | Zac | At first item you have the tankiness to bait his W and Slingshot onto him for the kill. |
| Two+ items | Zac | With 2+ items your teamfight R engage flies onto his backline and he has no self-peel to survive. |
Ziggs wins the early game on pure range: Bouncing Bomb (Q) chunks you from a screen away, Hexplosive Minefield (E) zones the ground you need to walk, and Satchel Charge (W) knocks you back if you try to close — with no gap-closer until E and no way to trade back, you just soak XP and take the poke.
