Read from Ziggs's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ornn.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | You out-range Ornn at Lvl 1 and poke him with no risk. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Lvl 2 he still can't reach you off open ground. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Lvl 3 comes down to walls: near terrain his combo wins. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Levels 4-5 your range and E zoning starve his farm and chunk him. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | Lvl 6 his R crosses 2500 and knocks up — that row is his. |
| First item | Ziggs | At first item his free forged items out-value your single one. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | Late you still out-range him one-on-one and only fear the wall-pin. |
Ornn has no ranged answer to you at Lvl 1-2 — he can only farm and forge, so bully him off the wave with Q Bouncing Bomb and Short Fuse autos while staying clear of walls that let him land a Volcanic Rupture pin.
