Read from Ziggs's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yasuo.
This is Ziggs's own plan; across 903 pooled games the lane is leaning Ziggs.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | At level 1 your Short Fuse and Q out-range Yasuo hard while he can only Wind Wall and farm. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Level 2 stays yours — no gap-close yet, so you poke him freely as he approaches. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Levels 3 you zone with mines and out-range his Sweeping Blade, keeping the trade lopsided. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Levels 4-5 remain in your favour as your poke forces him to farm down health. |
| Level 6 | Yasuo | Level 6 flips to Yasuo — his Last Breath all-in off a knock-up can burst you through poke. |
| First item | Ziggs | At his first crit item Wind Wall (17s at rank 5) covers every approach angle. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | Into 2+ items you stay ahead — out-range him and he never gets to open a fight. |
At levels 1-2 you dominate: Short Fuse autos and a bounced Bouncing Bomb chunk him while his only answer is Wind Wall, which you bait out before poking. He has no gap-close threat this early, so shove and harass freely.
