| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 Jaws of the Beast bites for max health and heals him. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Levels 4-5 you keep max range and punish his telegraphed gap-close. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | At 6 Blood Hunt's move speed carries his R leap well past melee range. |
| First item | Ziggs | First item gives you burst to chunk him before he closes on you. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | By two items your artillery range out-scales his sustain-and-stick plan. |
Warwick has no ranged ability and his Q is a short leap-bite, so from level 1-2 you poke him freely with Short Fuse Q while he can only walk up and soak it; deny his CS and keep him out of bite range.
