Playing as Fizz
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Lux
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Keep two minions between you and her
Stay behind at least two minions: Light Binding (Q) roots the first two enemies hit, so a single minion doesn't protect you.
- Step up when she misses Q
Step up when Light Binding (Q) misses you: it's her only root, with a 10-second cooldown, and she has no dash to escape.
- Get out of her singularity fast
Step out to the side as soon as Lucent Singularity (E) lands: the zone slows you, then explodes when it expires or when Lux detonates it.
- Don't run in a straight line
At low health, change direction as you back off: Final Spark (R) is a straight beam that reaches very far and fires after a charge-up.
