Fizz is an AP assassin who excels at single-target elimination and elusive gameplay, making him an excellent choice for mid lane.

Abilities Priority

  1. E - Trickster
  2. W - Seastone Trident
  3. Q - Urchin Strike
  4. R - Chum the Waters (Ultimate)

Core Abilities Breakdown

  • E (Trickster): Primary damage source and escape tool. Jump becomes untargetable, dealing AoE damage on land. Double cast allows faster jumps and wall-hopping.
  • W (Seastone Trident): Passive bleed effect on auto-attacks. Active empowers next auto with bonus magic damage. Mana refund when last-hitting.
  • Q (Urchin Strike): Gap-closer that applies on-hit effects. Dash through target dealing magic damage.
  • R (Chum the Waters): Skillshot ultimate that attaches to enemies, slowing them before summoning a shark. Damage increases with travel distance.
  • Passive: Can move through units and receives reduced damage from all sources.

Starting Items

  • Doran's Ring
  • 2 Health Potions

Core Build

  1. Hextech Rocketbelt
  2. Sorcerer's Shoes
  3. Zhonya's Hourglass
  4. Rabadon's Deathcap

Situational Items

  • Void Staff (vs. Magic Resist)
  • Lich Bane (for split pushing)
  • Shadowflame (vs. shields)
  • Mejai's Soulstealer (when ahead)

Early Game Strategy

  • Focus on farming safely until level 3
  • Use W to secure last hits
  • Save E for escape or all-in opportunities
  • Look for roaming opportunities post-6

Fizz is particularly effective for newer assassin players due to his straightforward kit and forgiving gameplay mechanics. His only skillshot is his ultimate ability, making him easier to master compared to other assassins like Zed.

For optimal trading, combine Q-W for quick damage, using E to either extend trades or escape. Your ultimate is crucial for securing kills, especially when coordinating with your jungler.

Remember to utilize your passive to weave through minions for better positioning and trading opportunities.
