Fizz Build Guide by Sankat

Introduccion

About Fizz

Before Starting with the masteries, runes, items, etc. I wanted to speak about Fizz and his capabilities.

Fizz is one of the best AP carries of the game, with his Playful / Trickster he can dodge every skill shot in the game and many directed skills also! in addition your Seastone Trident + Urchin Strike + Chum the Waters does tons of damage which can take down lots of champs in a matter of seconds.

A good Fizz can win you a game, and a one can lose you one too...But we dont want that...do we? So the main purpouse of this guide is to give you the tips and tricks to carry your team to victory every time you play as this wonderful champion!

Cons - With this build you will have to be passive the first 3 levels - Very item dependant - Lacks range (You have a very good gapclose though) - Your whole race is dead :foreveralone:

Masteries

Masteries
1/1	4/4	1/4	4/4	1/1	1/1	4/1	4/3	1/4	3/3	3/4	3/3

As Every AP You will need Ability Power in order to work well, so we are choosing a 21/9/0 set. We will need to get as much AP as possible, also we need to amplify that damage (that is what Executioner is for). This will allow us to have a very a good damage output early game and also some defensive stats that let us avoid being super squishy.

Runes

Runes
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration 9	Greater Seal of Armor 9	Greater Glyph of Magic Resist 5	Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist 4	Greater Quintessence of Ability Power 3

• Greater Quintessence of Ability Power: Well Here we have an easy choise, what is better than a bit of AP at the beggining of the game? Yes! More AP! So we need three Greater Quintessence of Ability Power to increase our damage.
  
• Greater Mark of Magic Penetration: Okay, we have the AP, but our enemy has Magic Resistance, what can we do? Again you were right! We need to penetrate that Magic resist, our Greater Mark of Magic Penetration will help us with that.
  
• Greater Glyph of Magic Resist: We will be going mostly mid so we will be facing many AP based champions, Personally I prefer starting with a Greater Glyph of Magic Resist. Although some people like getting an extra abilty power or some Cooldown reduction I think it is better to be a better more protected, especially if we face champions with heavy burst damage like we are. I like to combine this glyphs, with 4 Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist to get some Magic Resist per level also.
  
• Greater Seal of Armor: The enemy team wont we only based on AP champions, we need some armor also. So we are getting some armor form our Greater Seal of Armor to counter this.

Summoner Spells

Flash: With our Playful / Trickster most of the people will think, why do I need flash? Well, Playful / Trickster can not go through every wall, also If you are getting chased I would preffer to use our Playful / Trickster to evade an attack our get out of the enemy spell range. Also it is a great chasing tool, you can Flash and then Urchin Strike to get in range an escaping enemy and finish him.

Ignite: So, we are on the first minutes of the game and with our great early game damage we manage to get our lane opponent with almost no health, he starts running to his tower and all of our spells are con CD we can not tower dive at this level, we will die, what can we do? Ignite, Ignite and Ignite. Hopefully he will die.

Teleport: I do not like using this spell too much butsome people love the mobility Teleport gives. So this is your choice basically. Another very good Choice that I have not tested yet is Surge, but if you feel like trying it go ahead!

Ability Explanation

• Nimble Fighter: This passive allows fizz to ignore unit collition and take reduced damage from phyisical attacks. This is a great passive which lets you exchange hits at low level without being scare of minion aggro. Also you use it to escape from chasing opponents, just run through a minion wave, you will pass like them like if nothing happened and your enemies will have to avoid them.
  
• Urchin Strike (Q) Great initiator and escaping tool. This ability does a lot of damage early, mid and late game. this ability will always cover the same distance, so if you hit an opponent which is next to you with Urchin Strike you will get away from him. This is an awesome skill for juking also.
  
• Seastone Trident (W): This ability has two effects, your passive applies a posion which does small amounts of damage for each basic attack you make, When you activate it Fizz will deal magic damage with his attacks depending on the enemy missing health.
  
• Playful / Trcikster (E): Dodge, Escape, Chase! This skill does EVERYTHING you need. I think it is one of the most usefull skills in the game. It is a bit hard to master, in order to use this ability to the max you will need to activate it twice, one before jumping nad other one will in the air, this will make you jump further and became untargeatable for more time!
  
• Chum the water (R): A great ultimate for an awesome champion. With your shark you can slow enemies, initiate fights, finish opponents, catch up with them. Do not underestimate it`s damage, when maxed you literally make the most squishy opponents life bar dissapear when you combo it with Urchin Strike and Seastone Trident

> > >

As almost every champion in the league, your best skill is your ultimate, in this case a badass shark, max it whenever you can. After that it is just a matter of opinion, I personally prefer Urchin Strike over Seastone Trident and Playful / Trickster. Why? The burst damage of a high level Urchin Strike. a normal Seastone Trident and your Chum the Waters can burst down an enemy so quickly they wont even have the time to react.

Items

• : Ok, we have to melt our enemies down, but we need more AP as the game goes on and on. well, just buy a Rabadon's deathcap and melt everybody down
  
• : The mana and AP from Sheen plus the MR of the Null-Magic Mantle and the AP from the Blasting Wand all combined in one item?!!?! Are we in heaven!?!?! An incredible item for fizz
  
• : OK, so here we get plenty of HP thanks to the Giant's Belt and a decent amount of AP from the Amplifying Tome and Blasting Wand combo. A must have on fizz!
  
• : A good Item if you can press the hotkey in middle of a battle and throw it, if you are not used to doing this and you have the gold just build a Banshee's Veil.
  
• : If no one else in your team is building it get it! you will get lots of AP from the Blasting Wand and a good Magic resistance from the Negatron Cloak. Also it gives a great unique aura, You will reduce the MR of nearby enemy champions by 20 with a very good range (1000 range). Just ensure that you are the only one in your team building it. If someone else has already built it a Void Staff will do. Some people preffer a Void Staff over the Abyssal Scepter, If you are one of those people just build a Void Staff
  
• : An awesome Item, here we get some good armor from our Chain Vest and our Cloth Armor and a great Magic resist thank to the Null-Magic Mantle. Also it revives you when dead and it has a relatively short cooldown (5 minutes). Another must have.

Teamfights

This is where Fizz shines! It does not matter if you initiate or not, most of the times you wont, but if you have to, initiate with your Chum the Waters, ALWAYS, also, try to hit the enemy squishiest member. Your combo will be always the same! Or at least most of the time. Wait for an enemy out of position (remember, you are an assassin, take out always the squishy tragets) and simply do your Seastone Trident + Urchin Strike combo, if he survives Chum the Waters will do the trick (I know I said you should always initiate with Chum the Waters, this is when you catch an enemy out of position, never waste your ult in only one enemy). i have seen lots of fizz saving their ults to chase enemies or escape, this is good, but never do it in a 5v5. A well placed ult in the middle of the enemy team can lower half of the their HP bar, dont underestimate you damage, NEVER. Most of the times you and your AD carry will be focused, so watch out for this. Never be out of possition or it is game over for you...and your team you will need to survive as long as you can in teamfights....Besides all that if you have a little common sense you should be fine.

End of the line!
