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 Taliyah

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't cross her minefield

    When Unraveled Earth (E) is on the ground, don't cross it with a dash or get thrown through it by Seismic Shove (W): the stones explode under you and stun you.

  2. Engage after Seismic Shove

    If you can engage, go in after Seismic Shove (W): without it, she has nothing left to push you back, and no dash to escape.

  3. Knock her off her wall

    If you have CC, save it for Taliyah while she surfs on Weaver's Wall (R): once immobilized, she stops surfing immediately.
