Why High-Elo Players Smurf with Fizz
Low elo players don't respect Fizz's untargetability. They throw their primary CC while he's mid-hop, letting him dodge and all-in for free. They also don't understand that a long-range shark landing on a carry is a death sentence. In low elo, players tend to walk in straight lines back to lane, making them prime targets for big sharks from fog of war.
The Level 1 Cheese
First Blood Strategy
Start W. Walk into melee range and auto-W the enemy laner when they go for a minion. Your W resets your auto-attack timer and applies bonus magic damage. Auto-W-Auto is a chunky level 1 trade that most mages don't expect from a 'melee assassin'. Repeat until they're in kill range at level 3.
The 'Pay-to-Win' Skin Advantage
'Void Fizz' has the cleanest trident animation and R hitbox visual. 'Fuzz Fizz' is playful but the R shark model is smaller, which can be misleading (good for you). 'Super Galaxy Fizz' has loud SFX that can be distracting for enemies. Avoid 'Cottontail Fizz'—the carrot is visually confusing.
When They Ban Fizz
Backup Pick: If Fizz is banned,
Ekko offers similar dive-and-escape playstyle.
Katarina provides the reset assassin fantasy.
Akali offers the slippery shroud-based assassin.
Rune Setup
Best Runes: Electrocute is mandatory—Q-W-Auto procs it instantly for burst trades. Sudden Impact procs on both Q and E (free magic penetration). Eyeball Collection for AP stacking. Ultimate Hunter for lower R cooldown. Secondary Bone Plating + Overgrowth for lane survival, or Triumph + Coup de Grace for all-in kills.
Skill Priority
Order:
E → W → QMax E first—it's your waveclear, damage, and primary outplay tool. Lowering its cooldown is your first priority for survivability. Max W second for the auto-attack reset and execute damage. Max Q last as it is primarily a gap closer.
Mastering Fizz's Kit
Urchin Strike dashes THROUGH the target, applying on-hit effects. This means Sheen, Lich Bane, and W all proc. It's your gap closer but also your escape—you can Q through enemies or minions to reposition.
Seastone Trident resets your auto-attack timer and empowers your next hit. For maximum burst: Auto -> W (reset) -> Auto. This is two auto-attacks instantly. The active also deals bonus damage if the target is low HP.
Playful/Trickster has TWO parts—first press hops up (untargetable), second press hops down (damage). Holding E lands directly below you in the same spot. Pressing E again while in air moves you in a direction. Use the directional hop for escapes or gap closes.
Chum the Waters throws a fish that attaches to enemies and summons a shark. The shark size depends on distance traveled—long range = BIG shark = more damage and knockback. Close range fish is smaller. For maximum damage, throw R from max range, then Q in during travel time.
Matchup Tips
Easy Lane. She's immobile. Walk at her level 3, Q-W-Auto, E out before binding lands. Repeat until she dies.
Skill Matchup. His R makes him untargetable too. Save E for when he reappears. Trade R's and see who plays better.
Hard Counter. Her stun is instant and targeted. If she holds stun and flashes on you, you die. Farm with Q, roam when possible.
The Ego Check
WARNING: Stop using E to engage. Your E is your ESCAPE. Q -> W -> Auto is your damage combo. E is for dodging the enemy's response or for escaping after the kill. If you E forward to engage, you have no way out and you will die. The only exception is when E is needed to gap close for a guaranteed kill.
When to Queue Dodge
Dodge if facing Galio or Lissandra. Galio is too tanky to burst and taunts you mid-combo. Lissandra self-ults when you dive, wasting your kill attempt. Also dodge into Malzahar—his passive blocks your R attach, and he suppresses you when you Q in.
Teamfight Role
Wait for the fight to start. Watch the enemy ADC or mage position. The moment they use a major ability (Lux R, Jinx W, etc.), Q in, W, and E out. If you landed R on them first, they're dead before they can react. Your job is to delete one carry and survive. Do NOT front line or engage first.
The 'Disrespect' Build
Lich Bane first item. Your Q applies on-hit effects. Q -> Lich Bane proc -> W enhanced auto chunks for 60% HP at one item. Add Shadowflame and Rabadon's for true one-shot potential. At 3 items, your Q-W alone kills squishies.
Power Windows
Level 3 is your first kill window—you have Q, W, E and the burst + escape combo. Level 6 is when Fizz becomes terrifying. R -> wait for fish attach -> Q-W is a full combo that kills anyone under 70% HP. First item completion (Hextech Rocketbelt or Lich Bane) makes you a roaming menace.
Tilt Factor
Kill the enemy mid, then immediately roam bot and kill the ADC. Return mid. Repeat. All-chat 'gg mid diff' after the ADC complains in all-chat. Spam the fish laugh emote (yes, Fizz has one). Nothing tilts harder than dying to a fish pole.
