Playing as Fizz

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Farm with your trident

    Last-hit minions with Seastone Trident (W) early on: if the empowered auto kills, you get mana back and its cooldown drops.

  2. Dodge with Playful

    Save Playful (E) to dodge a key spell: you're untargetable for 0.75 seconds, then land with damage and a slow.

  3. Throw your fish from range

    Cast Chum the Waters (R) from range: the farther the fish travels before it attaches, the stronger the shark's slow and damage.

  4. Combo before the shark

    After Chum the Waters (R), chain Urchin Strike (Q) and Seastone Trident (W) while the target is slowed: the shark then bursts up under them and knocks them into the air.

Playing against Katarina

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from her daggers

    Stay away from her daggers on the ground: when she picks one up, Voracity (passive) hits every nearby enemy, and Shunpo (E) lets her blink to it.

  2. Trade after her Shunpo

    Trade right after Shunpo (E): it's her only blink, and it has a 12 to 8 second cooldown, less if she picks up a dagger.

  3. Save your CC for her Lotus

    If you have CC, save it for Death Lotus (R): it's a channel, and interrupting it stops its damage.

  4. Don't count on your healing

    Don't count on your healing during Death Lotus (R): each knife applies Grievous Wounds, which reduces healing received.
