|---|---|---|

| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 your AoE erases his Mist Walker stacks before they threaten you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Levels 4-5 remain yours as mines punish his walk-up and poke chips him down. |

| First item | Ziggs | First item swings harder your way: your waveclear obliterates his ghoul army. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | Into 2+ items you keep the edge — out-space him and neutralize his splitpush. |
