| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | At level 1 your Q range lets you land free pokes before his dash combo is online. |

| Level 3 | Renekton | Level 3 his Slice and Dice combo lands only if you let him inside 450. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | By 4-5 you've bought defensive stats and your W escape resets the range gap in your favour. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | At 6 Dominus adds bonus health and damage, so his all-in still beats yours. |
| First item | Renekton | Renekton's Dominus power spike lets him win the all-in again if he catches your W down. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | Late your waveclear, range and R siege out-scale his fading melee threat. |
Level 1 you can poke with Q, but stay wary — Renekton wants to hit 2 and 3 fast to start his Slice-Ruthless-Dice combo on you.
