Fizz Build 26.22

B

Playable but nothing scary at 50.1% and on the way down this patch, Fizz lives and dies by the pole vault. Playful/Trickster makes him untargetable mid-animation, so he can bait a full combo and answer with his own. Land the shark and a carry is gone before they react, miss it and he is left chipping with W and autos until the ult comes back. He is a dive threat who picks his moment, not a laner who trades evenly.

When Is Fizz Strongest?

The mid-game item window is the high point of the curve, and games at this rank average around 28 minutes. Fizz's win condition is the assassination, so use the power spike to roam onto an overextended squishy, land the shark, and blow them up before they can react, then slip away untouched for the next pick.

Fizz Item Build

Fizz is an ability power assassin who slips through units and shrugs off a slice of every hit, so the build stacks ability power and haste to make his dive-and-delete combo land before anyone can react. The items turn a slippery skirmisher into a one-shot threat that is nearly impossible to pin down.

Best Fizz Runes

Electrocute is the go-to, and his combo procs it almost on contact, a quick Q-auto-ult chunks it out instantly. That front-loaded burst is what deletes a carry before the trade even develops, so keep the rest of the page simple and lean fully into the all-in.

Build toward Lich Bane into Zhonya's Hourglass, since his combo damage scales hard with AP. The power is up front, so snowball while the lead is fresh. When Zhonya's Hourglass comes online by roughly 22 minutes, the vault-into-ult combo starts one-shotting backliners outright, and that burst window is the entire game plan, so wait for it and then hunt the softest target on the map.

Fizz Skill Order

Three ranks of Playful / Trickster by level five buy the untargetable hop and the slam, though the lane stays a poke exchange until Chum the Waters arrives at six. That shark is what turns chip damage into a kill.

Fizz Abilities

Nimble Fighter is the quiet reason he survives dives, a flat cut on every source of damage plus the freedom to walk through minions and bodies. Urchin Strike is his gap-closer, dashing through a target and carrying his Seastone Trident bleed as an on-hit effect.

Fizz Matchups

Fizz has to get on top of a squishy and survive the return fire, so heavy crowd control that catches him despite his hop and tanks he cannot burst give him trouble. Immobile mages and marksmen with no reliable stun are the targets his untargetable pole-vault and shark are built to erase.

Be wary of Ryze, Vex, and Aurora early, they out-trade him before his items come together and punish a wasted vault, so respect them in lane. Once he spikes he preys on Mel, Pantheon, and Talon, so use the untargetability to dodge their key spell and collapse on the immobile ones the second your ult is up.
