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 Lux

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
