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 Syndra
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't line up with her spheres
Don't stand in line between Syndra and one of her spheres: Scatter the Weak (E) pushes it toward you, and it stuns the enemies it hits.
- Engage after Scatter the Weak
If you can engage, go in right after Scatter the Weak (E): she has no dash and nothing else to push you back during its 15-second cooldown.
- Count her spheres once she hits 6
Once she hits level 6, count her spheres before taking a trade: Unleashed Power (R) launches the 3 orbiting her at you, plus up to 4 more nearby.
