Track: K'Sante's R — All Out (120–80s cooldown). His duelist mode — fight the tank, never the duelist.
Read from Ziggs's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against K'Sante.
This is Ziggs's own plan; across 557 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | You outrange K'Sante's melee Q at level 1 and poke freely. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Level 2 W plus Q keeps him from ever trading back into you. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | By 3 you space his Ntofo pull, which only reaches 450. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Levels 4-5 you zone with E and chunk him on every walk-up. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | His level 6 R is his sole gap-close and you have Satchel to disengage it. |
| First item | Ziggs | First item makes your poke lethal while he stays tank with no range. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | Late game you kite his flanks and out-DPS from max range. |
K'Sante's Q Ntofo Strikes is melee-range and his early walk-ups are punishable; sit at max Q range, hit Bouncing Bomb on cooldown, and every time he steps up to CS you get free poke because he simply can't reach back.
