Read from Ziggs's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vayne.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Vayne's near-melee range lets you poke her freely at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Level 2 she still can't reach you and eats your Short-Fuse pokes. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 your minefield zones her CS and she can't trade back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Levels 4-5 you keep out-ranging every Tumble step-up. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | At 6 her R doesn't give range, so your poke still controls the lane. |
| First item | Vayne | At her first item Condemn + Silver Bolts finally give her a kill window on you. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | By two items your artillery range re-establishes dominance over her. |
Vayne has essentially no range and no waveclear early, so from level 1 you out-poke her hard with Short Fuse Q and zone her off CS with E minefield; keep her low and she can't do a thing back.
