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 Locke

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back instead of staying low

    Back instead of staying in lane at low health: Silver Stake (passive) adds damage to his autos that grows with your missing health.

  2. Trade after his E

    Trade after Ashen Pursuit (E): it's his only instant movement, and its 10-second cooldown only resets if he gets a takedown.

  3. During his W, only hit to kill

    During Soul Ignition (W), only hit him if you can kill him: at the end, he heals back part of the last damage taken, yours included.

  4. Stay above his threshold

    Marked by Purgatory (R), stay above its threshold: if you have a heal or a shield, use it, because he seals marked enemies who drop below it.

  5. Contest his artifact

    If the Purgatory (R) artifact lands, hold the area where it fell: by picking it up, Locke raises his execute threshold for each sealed champion, for the rest of the game.
