How to win lane as Ziggs against Gwen · 50% win rate over 4 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Gwen has no R and can't dodge your Level 1 poke. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | At Level 2 you keep shoving and chunking her off farm. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 her W Mist only helps when committed, so you stay ahead. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Through Levels 4-5 you out-range her and deny CS freely. |
| Level 6 | Gwen | At Level 6 her R dash and W Mist let her skirmish untouchable. |
| First item | Gwen | On her first item Q Snip Snip DPS and Mist windows power her all-in. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | With two items your artillery range out-pokes her before she can engage. |
Levels 1-4 are yours: Gwen has no R yet and her W Hallowed Mist only protects her when she's already committed, so you free-poke with Short Fuse autos and Bouncing Bomb and deny her CS by shoving.
