| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lucian | Lucian's level 1 Q plus passive double-tap outguns you point-blank. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | By level 2 your Q outranges his short kit and you take over. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | At 3 your full kit spaces his only E dash engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Levels 4-5 you chunk him on every short-range walk-up. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | Level 6 Mega Inferno Bomb lets you contest and finish him safely. |
| First item | Ziggs | First item makes your poke one-sided as he falls off. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | Late game you kite his immobile R and out-range him entirely. |
Lucian owns level 1: his Piercing Light Q plus passive double-shot outguns you before you have your full kit, so play back, soak XP, and don't contest the first trade. Once you hit 2-3 you flip it by sitting at max Bouncing Bomb range where his short attack range can't answer.
