Masteries, Runes, and Summoner Spells.

Summoner Spells

SPACE

Summoner Spells

I chose for 2 reasons. Number 1; it's the most versatile summoner spell, both offense and defense, it can save your life. Or it can give you the little extra push you need to land a skill. Number 2; makes making big plays such as stealing Baron, much easier.

I also carry , mainly for the fact that the extra damage that it gives you works incredibly well with and allowing you to win almost any skirmish in mid.

I threw in as a third option, not because I use it. Because it's the third most common spell that I see; except for and . The reason being is since already has 2 jumps... instead of getting the third with they take . It works great, but personally I feel that just fits his kit much better.

SPACE

Masteries

My masteries are pretty generic for AP, get , and for the extra Ability Power. for the Cooldown reduction. for Magic Penetration and last but certainly not least; for the increase in damage dealt to low health champions. I also got since I carry ; a little extra Ability Power never hurts!

The rest I put in the defensive tree, because more often then not, I will be fighting another AP in mid. So having 6 Magic Resistance helps a lot more than you might think. Now if you get then get , it increases the effect of by 10%. If not then put then put the point in so it opens further down the tree. Next, I put points into for extra health. I feel it is more helpful than . The last point goes into for 30 extra health.

SPACE

Runes

My runes are very simple, but effective. I get x9 which give me Magic Penetration. x9 gives me my Ability Power. Greater seal of replenishment x9 gives me Mana Regeneration, and last which also gives me Ability Power.

SPACE

Greater seal of replenishment

Summary

Okay, so after seeing my Runes, Masteries and Summoner Spells you can probably see how I play . With my Runes and Masteries I like to invest in Ability Power and Damage, ( , ). The reason being, with 's skill set ( , and ) along with as my main Summoner Spell. I have 3 great ways to escape, so instead of buying runes like or I go pure damage, and Greater seal of replenishment to be able to maintain that damage.

I am NOT saying that my Runes are the best and that you NEED to use them, they are just my personal preference and they fit my playstyle much better. Experiment and find what works best with you.

Skill Sequence

This is how I level my skills

Ability Sequence
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18

-->-->-->

Basic Combo

Explanation:

I max my Seastone Trident first; reason being is because since Fizz is a melee AP you are going to be fighting up close. Second reason, if you read the passive effects it does damage over time based on a percentage of their health. So it's also a good ability to use to farm (IF YOU CAN'T LAST HIT, LAST HITTING IS VERY IMPORTANT WITH ANY CHAMPION), as well as harass since you are able to escape easily with Playful / Trickster.
The reason I max Urchin Strike second is because it applies on-hit effects, so it works perfectly with Seastone Trident.
Lastly, I max Playful / Trickster I do this for the simple fact that I ONLY use it for escape purposes, to me it is to valuable a skill to waste on a kill, when it can be easily done with Seastone Trident, Urchin Strike, and Chum the Waters.

Alternative Skill Guide

This skill sequence is becoming MUCH more popular, although it's not what I prefer, I will show it anyways

Ability Sequence
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18

Explanation:

The reason people choose Playful / Trickster, over Seastone Trident is that Playful / Trickster has a MUCH higher AP a ratio, and MUCH higher base damage. Then combine this with the high damage of Seastone Trident when you level that afterwards, you have a MASSIVE burst.
However, I told you my reasoning for leveling Urchin Strike and Seastone Trident before Playful / Trickster. The spell to me... is just to damn useful to be used on offense when another way can produce the same results.

Build

Build Sequence

Item Sequence

Starting Items

This is my favorite starting build because combined with his passive and the extra movement speed, you control the lane. And its nearly impossible for the enemy champ to get away.

If you chose to get resist runes, or movement speed quints, then I recommend It's easy AP, gives you that extra health which can be a life saver, and more sustain, less chance to run OOM if your jungle doesn't get you blue buff.

First time back

Either finish your boots, for the Magic Penetration.

Or buy an item that builds into ; I chose , but or just grabbing the will work.

Mid-Game

By now should be finished, this is your main core item, used with and to dish out all kinds of crazy!

You should also have or be on your way to finishing it by having either or . This item is important for ALL AP's increasing AP by 30% is invaluabe.

Mid-Late Game

This is certainly an OPTIONAL item, it's one of my favorites however, and thats why I decided to put it in the build. I like it because of the 40% Magic Penetration which can be vital if there team decides to build Magic Resistance. But a great subsitute would be . Which actually WILL be going into the alternative build!

PERFECT item for . Since Fizz needs to jump into the fight to do damage with all but one ability, grabbing and lowering all enemies Magic Resistance by 20 is a great way to both assist your team and do so bonus damage.

Both of the items SHOULD be completed by this time, Mid-Late Game is a very broad time range but if you have been keeping up with farm and participating in team fights you should be golden.

Late Game

Great item for AP and Armor if they have a pesky AD carry, and the Passive is incredible; granting 2 seconds of invulnerability can be crucile if you are waiting for or to come off cooldown.

By now you should also know EXACTLY what the problem is on the enemy team, and what you need to stop them, thats why I threw in because it's an easy replaceable item. You may need or , it's entirely situational.

Alternative Build

Build Sequence

Item Sequence

Starting Items

First time back

Buy and hopefully if you can you will be turning this into

Mid-Game

First chance you get, go back and buy . It does 25% Magic Damage based of a percentage of the enemies current health... and increase by 4% for every 100 AP. This will be your core item... use it on the enemy champion before you use your combo to get the best effects off of it.

Mid-Late Game

Gives both Armor and Magic Resistance, and allows you to be a crazy as you want thanks to passive which revives you. As soon as you revive, or out of harms way.

Late Game

For detail's on items I left blank, refer to first build!

Helping the Team

Now, if you are a good Fizz and are playing him correctly, you SHOULD be winning your lane.
Once the other mid realizes that if you land your ult he will be killed, he will play VERY defensively. Take advantage of this.
Go help out your team and gank, Fizz does a better job at ganks then most junglers due to his skill set.
Go bot, or top... wait for opportune moment, throw your Chum the Waters and then use your combo, its that simple.
Fizz can tank turrets well due to Playful / Trickster so you draw the turret aggro, then when you feel you should get out... jump out.

PATCHES

Items

Is no longer a core item on its massive nerf doesnt make it a dominate item anymore. It can still be used, I just advise against it.

FIN

Well, now hopefully you are ready to play Fizz!!! I will leave you with one more piece of GOLDEN information...
