Hello everyone!I'm Peppermint and this is my first guide on MOBAFIRE. I do appreciate any feedback from you guys. Fizz had always been my best champion choice. He's powerful, he's really well designed and above all, he's a slippery fella, thanks to his Playful / Trickster.

In this guide, you'll be learning mainly on how to counter an enemy laner. I will be sharing my tricks and techniques to face off any opponent. Fizz is a fairly easy champion to play. And most people can pick up kills with him really easily. I'm gonna teach you how to be the rare Fizz players. The ones who can beat any other common Fizz players. So, let's begin!


The power of Fizz...
Play Video

Pros

+ extreme burst damage + strong survivability + pisses people off when they fail to kill you + able to dodge all sorts of skills including the notorious Requiem + easy to learn + his ult swallows yordles

Fizz is one of the most powerful mid laners. Despite being a melee champ, he is able to out do all sorts of champions. His burst damage ensures the enemy doesn't have a chance to react and his Playful / Trickster can really turn the tides of any battles. Most people who play Fizz can easily get at least 10 kills in any match, whether losing or winning.

Cons

+ extremely vulnerable without Playful / Trickster + small mistakes will cause a losing match + very dependent on items

Fizz may be all mighty and OP and such, but he's still very squishy. Too much crowd control on the enemy team, and you wont have a chance to Playful / Trickster to safety. If you don't get your core items fast enough, you'll end up falling behind instead of dealing 'Tons of Damage'.

Greater Mark of Magic Penetration : Magic penetration is quite important for early levels as Fizz needs some extra boost of damage to poke on lane.
Greater Seal of Armor : Fizz being a really squishy champion especially at early levels need that lil boost of armor at the start.
Greater Glyph of Ability Power : Fizz just needs AP to deal massive damage. The more AP at early levels, the faster you pick up kills.
Greater Quintessence of Ability Power : More AP, more OP.

Flash is essential. Most people pick this summoner spell and if you want to kill that coward who just Flashed out of your range, you would wanna Flash in and catch him



Ignite works really well with your Seastone Trident. It also helps secure a kill and you could even perform a neat lil' stunt which I'd like to call the "Cool Guys Don't Look At Explosions" move. Where you throw your shark, dashed at them while applying Seastone Trident and igniting them, then walk away and let the shark / Ignite finish 'em off. Like a boss!!

These boots are essential in order to deal significant damage at any point of the game.

Lich bane has recently been changed. But it still does it's job well. With the bonus damage from Lich Bane, Fizz's Urchin Strike and Seastone Trident can deal insane burst damage.

The effect that this item gives is rather similar to Playful / Trickster. One is already OP, so why not have both?

Deathcap is important if you want to see your enemies disappear in one strike. The 30% increase of AP is just too good to turn down.

Usually, I'd pickup Void Staff right after my Zhonya's Hourglass. Because most people tend to get some magic resist once they got a taste of your nasty damage. Some magic penetration would do the trick!

I love to finish off with this item cause it gives alot of AP. Your AP should be around 800+ if you have all the items i recommended. With these items, you're able to 1-hit the ADC effortlessly. And the Deathfire can amplify your damage output if necessary. Plus it has some cooldown reduction! Shorter Playful / Trickster cooldown!

There are many ways you may choose to build Fizz. But I highly recommend this itemset. You may choose to get Rylai's Crystal Scepter or Liandry's Torment for abit more HP and a lil extra effect from your skills (Rylai for the slow effect or Liandry for the damage over time)

I wouldn't say that I'm one of the greatest Fizz players in the world, but I am very confident in my techniques of playing as him against ANY champion. In this section, I will be sharing my way of performing some nifty tricks. Some maybe risky and not advised (but totally worthwhile if you succeed) and some are probably common. Note that I have not played with EVERYONE in the world so I wouldn't know if anyone else had already been using the techniques I'm about to share.

LANING

Personally, I have a problem of farming minions. I'm pretty bad at last hitting them. And in some occasions, the enemy laner get 3 times the amount of minions killed than I do. Yes... It's that bad... But I make up for it with my constant killing!
Generally it isn't too difficult to last hit minions with Fizz due to his Seastone Trident which deals damage over time, allowing you to kill the minions most of the time even if you failed the last hit.

Apart from farming, when playing as Fizz I try to move around alot. The way I move depends on the enemy laner. For example, if I lane against a Lux, I tend to keep away from my distance and move diagonally towards Lux. This way, her Light Binding and Lucent Singularity won't be able to hit you. If I lane against a Kayle or a Nunu & Willump, I would always prepare my Playful / Trickster to dodge their Reckoning or Ice Blast since they have a projectile travel time. As for champions like Brand or Xerath or Gragas I use Urchin Strike to dodge AoEs like Pillar of Flame, Eye of Destruction or [[Barrel Roll]. Usually they would not be aware so you can dash to them and they'll miss. Basically, you gotta play around with your abilities and confuse your enemies.

When an enemy miss their skills, it is a good opportunity to poke them. Most importantly, when laning, ALWAYS save your Playful / Trickster. Ward your brush whenever possible to prevent any sudden ganks. It takes a while to fully master when to be aggressive and when not to be. You need to be instinctive and know your own capabilities as well as your enemies'.

THE TRICKS

There are many tricks you can perform with Fizz thanks to the abilities he is granted. It is most wise to learn some cool tricks to get the best out of Fizz. Below are a few of my favorite tricks I'd love to perform in all my matches.




'The Replacement'
This is a trick you can use regularly. The Replacement trick is very simple to perform. All you have to do is use Playful / Trickster near an allied minion (or champion) to avoid the oncoming enemy on-hit ability such as Siphoning Strike or Decisive Strike. It's always good to make the enemy waste their abilities on minions whenever possible. This trick however has a downside. Playful / Trickster consumes alot of mana and it isn't really a good trade off if you're gonna use it to avoid Garen's Decisive Strike which has no cost. I suggest you use this trick to avoid a much more important ability such as Leona's Shield of Daybreak which can stun you and might prevent you from escaping or take too much damage. Overall, this trick requires you to know your enemies well and see when it is the right time to use it.




'Cool Guys Don't Look At Explosions'
This trick isn't recommended. The way to perform this is to burst the enemy down to a sliver of health left then throw your shark and Ignite the target. After that, immediately walk away and pretend the enemy champion didn't exist. If you do it right, the Shark and Ignite will finish him off and as a bonus, you give an insulting impression that you are able to kill them effortlessly. In my opinion, most people will get really pissed off at that stunt you just pulled. When this happens, they would try their best to kill you in the next encounter. If they are too focused on killing you, most people would tend to forget who they're messing with. And that gives you an advantage. Most people tend to screw up their combos or accidentally make a small mistake. These small mistakes can help you snowball on them to the point where you are overfed and not able to die anymore.




'The Bait'
This is a rather easy trick to perform. There are alot of greedy people out there. And believe me when I say so, there are ALOT! And this is good. Especially when you're health is low. This trick can be pulled off to get you back on your feet when you are losing out on lane. When the enemy laner had harrassed you too much (you will need at least your Q, W and E ready), Recall near your turret, near enough so that when the enemy laner were to attack you, he/she has to enter the turret's attack range. If the enemy laner is greedy and think that they could pick up an easy kill with maybe the help of their Ignite, they will try to go all out on you. When this happens, you need to time your Playful / Trickster nicely so they would not be able to touch you, while alerting your turret. The important thing is where to land back down after Playful / Trickster. Most of the time, I would land forward, placing the enemy between me and the turret. Right after I land, I would use Urchin Strike + Seastone Trident to dash into my turret, keeping me at a safe distance from their possible Ignite or any other skills which could kill you. If they aren't very tanky, or if they had already lost some health before that, your Playful / Trickster slow and your Seastone Trident combined with some turret attacks is enough to kill the enemy very quickly.





'Shark Bait'
I use this trick very frequently. And it works 90% of the time! Not a 100% though. These tricks are situational. Ever played Fizz and you're like.. owning the enemy team? Well if you do, then do you have the problem of trying to kill their ADC or support but they keep backing off too far for you to reach them? Well worry no more! This trick is perfect for that kind of situation. All you have to do is do some 'normal' thing like farming minions or standing idly and not do anything. The enemy laner would most likely try to auto attack you, or shoot a skill at you. After they do, move towards them (don't be afraid. you have Playful / Trickster if anything fails) and you will see them back off (cause they fear your insane damage). When that happens, immediately turn around and shoot your shark to your back, right at their face. When you turn away to retreat, 90% of the time, the enemy will try to run back to you to land an auto-attack. Why? I don't really know. Human nature I guess...
Your shark will hit them in the face, and BOOM they're caught. GET IN THERE AND DESTROY THEM!

'Fail ULTS'
Ever experienced a slight fear of a Mystic Shot or a Requiem on it's way to hit you? Well worry no more! I like to do this trick just to piss people off. Let's say you got an enemy who has a deadly global ult like Final Spark or Whirling Death or Requiem. When I'm bored, I'd like to do my team a favor. First, I walk up to a nearby enemy turret, then I get hit by it. Once my health is really low, I prepare myself for any enemy global ults. Requiem for example. I see it coming, then I hop!
Karthus : FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Fizz : LOL

Hey guys, I hope you enjoyed this guide so far. As you can see, it is far from completion. But I' like to have some early feedback on how this guide is going so far since this is my first guide and I'd like it to be a helpful guide.

"FISH FISH FISH!" Most people believe that Fizz can be countered by some champions like Ryze or LeBlanc or maybe even Zyra. However, after years of experience with Fizz, I would disagree to that. Fizz is capable of laning or fighting against ALL champions, if you play your cards right... The key to winning all types of champions isn't the champion themselves, but the Summoner. YES. The Summoners. The players behind that champion. This is what I will mainly focus on. It's not the item sets or the runes and masteries. It's all about tricking the enemy laner and make them fail. But it is of course easier said than done. Below is a list of ALL the champions, including Fizz, and all the techniques to counter them on lane or anywhere else on the map. Note that this section isn't only to learn how you can deal with champions as Fizz, but you can use what I shared here and apply it to other champions to fight Fizz. You can also learn how Fizz would approach your certain champion and form a strategy against Fizz himself! AATROX Aatrox is a fairly easy champion to deal with. Not common to meet him on the mid lane but possible if you are on the top lane. Aatrox's kit is all health based. Fizz is able to debuff him with Seastone Trident and reduce his lifesteal amount. Try not to get hit by his Dark Flight and Blades of Torment . If he misses his ability, make sure to poke him hard. With Playful / Trickster, it shouldn't be too hard to face him. Try to save your ULT until his Blood Well triggers. It's very easy to aim once he is in that state. Do time it right so that the shark pops up the moment he becomes targetable again. AHRI Ahri may be sexy and all, but it isn't this fish's taste. Her Charm is her biggest threat. Kiting it will enable you to turn the fight around. Usually I would stand in the open, next to the minions and allow her to aim her Charm. Once she get's in range for it, immediately move aside so the skillshot will miss. Do the same for her Orb of Deception. The difficult thing about fighting her is KILLING her as she has her Spirit Rush to easily get away from you. Try and land your Ult before she dashes away and you might be able to reach her for the killing blow. AKALI Akali is very weak at early and can be easily killed if you know your stuff. She has her Twilight Shroud so it's quite hard to auto-attack her. But nothing your Playful / Trickster can't handle! She's quite dangerous at late game, so be sure to keep her underfarmed / underleveled at all times. ALISTAR You won't be fighting against this guy on lane unless you decide to go Fizz support. Alistar is tanky, and that's not a problem for Fizz as he has his Seastone Trident to shred his health down. His crowd control abilities are quite annoying at times, so try to avoid getting hit by them. AMUMU Amumu is very easy to fight. Usually you'd face him when he's the jungler and he tries to gank you. If you can kite Ahri's Charm with ease, then it should be no problem for you to kite his Bandage Toss. His Ult is quite predictable. Most people would use it in 1-2 seconds after they used their Q, to prolong the stun duration. Use Playful / Trickster at the right moment, to dodge BOTH his stuns and make him pay the price! ANIVIA Very easy champion to deal with. Anivia may go aggro on you during early levels. And her passive is quite annoying when you dont have your Ult yet. So when laning against her, try to play it safe and poke her only when you know the enemy jungler is busy with something else. DO NOT DIVE THE TURRET to try and kill her. It usually ends up terribly. ANNIE Annie can be very annoying due to her constant stuns. The trick is to use Playful / Trickster near your minions, while she casts Disintegrate and Incinerate. This way, she will waste her stun and you can slam back down to slow her. Give her a lil taste of your Urchin Strike so she'd know who's boss. Watch out for her Ult though. ASHE Ashe is among one of the easiest champions to fight against. She only has one CC ability which is her Enchanted Crystal Arrow, which (with good timing) can easily be avoided with [Playful / Trickster]]. If you're fed, you can 1-hit her. BLITZCRANK Blitzcrank is very predictable. His pull is fairly easy to dodge without the need for Playful / Trickster. Ocassionally, I'd like to stand still and let him pull me towards him. When that happens, I save my Urchin Strike for any mishaps. If possible, you can kill him since his survivabilty isn't very strong. Keep in mind that he has his Mana Barrier. BRAND Brand can be tricky. He has strong burst and has a stun which must be avoided at all cost. If you are already Blazed, make sure to dodge his Sear. Usually you can tell when an enemy champion is about to attack you, there will be a yellow outline around them as an indicator. When you sense he is about to attack you, use Urchin Strike on him. He will most likely already targeted his Pillar of Flame behind you. Overall, he's quite easy to fight and with your ult, you'd be able to face him. BRAUM Braum can be a pain espeically when you try to launch yourself to the ADC or any other squishy allies of his. His kit enables him to reduce and incoming damage you deal towards him and his ally, in fact he is able to dive the Shark for his allies, and you may have wasted a good damage on an unintended target. Try to lead in with Urchin Strike first if you encounter a Braum guarding his allies. Most importantly, try not to get hit by any of his abilities if you wanna make a clean kill. His Concussive Blows could turn the fight around. If you are trying to kill Braum himself, try getting an early Void Staff just in case he's too tanky to burst him down. With your full combo, I'm pretty sure it won't be much of a problem. CAITLYN Caitlyn is an ADC so she's very easy to take down when alone. Not much to care about except her Ult, which can be easily avoided with Playful / Trickster. Her Yordle Snap Trap and her 90 Caliber Net may slow you down when in pursuit. If you can kill her, then there's no reason not to use Playful / Trickster to close the distance. CASSIOPEIA Cassiopeia... Ugly and annoying. Her Miasma can be a pain. Stay out of it and you'll be fine. Keep moving when laning against her so she won't be able to hit you with Noxious Blast. She is fairly easy to take down, but do keep in mind of her Ult which can stun you and render you useless. Use Chum the Waters to slow down her damage output. The brief knock up is enough for you to get bak on your feet and destroy her. CHO'GATH Cho'Gath is quite weak at early game but poses as a threat during late game due to his insane Feast damage. That alone can easily chomp the life out of you. So if you're laning against him, try to bully him on lane and make sure you're always one step ahead of him. Only his Rupture will be a pain. But as usual, Fizz has his Playful / Trickster. CORKI Not much to worry about. He is quite dangerous if you let him strike first. If that happens, you'd be using your abilities to escape rather than for offense. But he is as squishy as any other ADC so it should be no problem to take him down. DARIUS Darius has strong harrass on lane. If you are fighting him, try to get close to him so his Decimate won't deal as much damage. Becareful of his Crippling Strike as it will prevent you from making a clean escape. I would fight near my minions so he would accidentally auto attack the minions when he uses Crippling Strike. DIANA Diana is a commonly picked when they see an enemy Fizz. Diana players will usually use Crescent Strike to poke you hard. You can bait her to waste it by moving to her right and then immediately turn the opposite direction to make her miss. If they aren't aware, they will be juicing out their mana in no time. Once she hits level 6, dodging her Crescent Strike is important or she can burst you down really quickly. DR. MUNDO Fizz's Seastone Trident is meant for champs like these. Mundo relies on his regeneration and health so it is pretty easy to take him down at any point of the game. Just kite his easily-kited Infected Bonesaw and you'll be fine. DRAVEN Draven has no escape mechanism against Fizz. The only thing he can do is cast his Stand Aside which can be easily avoided with Playful / Trickster. ELISE This arachnid is quite dangerous. Her spiderlings do deal alot of damage if you prolong the fight against her. And she can constantly poke you with her Neurotoxin. Get hit by it enough and she can morph and kill you. Try to dodge her stun as much as possible. EVELYNN Evelynn can be really annoying at times. Annoying in the sense that she get's away pretty quickly thanks to her Dark Frenzy which removes all slows on her. She can become a threat at late game but she's quite weak if she cant touch you. Playful / Trickster rules!!! EZREAL Ah... The Prodigal Explorer.... do the regular Fizz tricks and you can destroy him easily. Whenever you recall with very low HP, always keep in mind of his Trueshot Barrage. Keep your finger ready! FIDDLESTICKS Fiddlesticks is one of the more challenging foes to face on lane. His fear and his silence combo can render you completely useless. It is even more deadly in teamfights. Take caution when facing him. When his Terrify is on cooldown, take advantage of it and burst him down. His Bountiful Harvest wont really matter since you have Chum the Waters to deal with that. FIORA This lass is no threat to Fizz. Overall, she's pretty easy to fight on lane. When she uses her Blade Waltz, all you have to do is Playful / Trickster. She's strong when she is able to constantly whack you, so don't let her whack you. And you'll be able to destroy her with ease. FIZZ This is probably the most important information of all within my Counter List. Fizz is in fact overpowered. But what happens when you lane against an enemy Fizz? Don't fret. I had been playing Fizz for so long and I would of course notice how I play Fizz myself. The key to winning a fight against another Fizz : ALWAYS jump LAST! Most, if not, all Fizz players tend to lead in with Urchin Strike along with Seastone Trident activated. When this happens, you do the same. The enemy Fizz, if unwary, will use Playful / Trickster to avoid anymore damage from you. This is where you can take advantage. Use Playful / Trickster right after he does and your slam will hit him. Repeat this process and you might even pick up a kill on him. There are occasions where the enemy Fizz is experienced and will try to delay his jump. When this happens, you will need to delay yours too. If all else fails, jump away. Don't try to fight him if he has the upper hand. Try and play around with the minions with your dash. Your Urchin Strike can be used to kite his jump if possible. Well, basically when it comes to a showdown between both Fizzes, it's only a matter of who mastered Fizz more. Never underestimate the power of the Tidal Trickster. GALIO Galio is no threat to Fizz. If you are already skilled with your Playful / Trickster, you will have no problems dealing with him. The fun part about fighting Galio is when he uses his Idol of Durand. It's quite predictable most of the time as Galio would cast it if you are really aggressive or when you dive the turret. Simply press E and he'll most likely op his Ult. And if you have yours, even better! GANKPLANK Gankplank is one of the few who can escape you quite easily. If you aren't getting your core items fast, then it's gonna be quite difficult to kill him. His Parrrley has a brief travel time if you aren't very close to him. So your Playful / Trickster can dodge it. GAREN If you ever lane against a Garen, first thing to keep in mind is his silence. Use your minions to dodge his silence. When you see him rushing to you, use Playful / Trickster and he will accidentally hit a nearby minion with his silence instead. Once you land back down, you can continue with your Urchin Strike + Seastone Trident poke. Try your best to keep his passive on cooldown. GRAGAS Gragas has been quite weak ever since the changes he had gotten. His Barrel Roll can be easily avoided with Urchin Strike. Simply dash to him when he casts it and it will ruin his flow. Gragas is mainly AoE based so a perfectly timed Playful / Trickster can reduce his damage output significantly. GRAVES No threat detected. Burst him down like any other ADC... HECARIM Behold the might of the Shadow Isles! Don't underestimate this pony. It isn't common to meet him on lanes but you'd probably will face him as a jungler trying to gank your lane. Sad to say this but it isn't recommended to fight Hecarim head on, not unless you are fed or if he is underfarmed. His Devastating Charge combined with his Onslaught of Shadows can prove to be deadly at any point of the game. Try to enter battle only when his abilities are on cooldown. HEIMERDINGER Heimerdinger is one of the rare ones who can actually kill Fizz. His turrets can be quite annoying on lane, especially when you're going in for the kill. Try to use Playful / Trickster and land on as many turrets as possible to reduce the risk of getting killed after you kill him. IRELIA Irelia can be quite dominant on the lane. Her Hiten Style and Equilibrium Strike deals alot of damage especially to Fizz. You will need to trick her into using her slow instead of her stun so you wont lose your flow. Try to let your HP deplete a little bit before fighting her. This way, the chances of her stunning you is less. Don't underestimate her under any circumstances. If necessary, request for your jungler's help. Overall, just play safe when encountering Irelia until you get your Chum the Waters. JANNA Janna. Easy target. Her Monsoon is the only tricky thing to avoid. But it doesn't push you back too far. If you saved your Playful / Trickster when she Ults, then there's no problem for you to catch up to her and kill her. She's a squishy support, so 1-hitting her at late game is not a surprise. JARVAN IV Jarvan cannot fight a Fizz. His Cataclysm is completely useless against him, his Dragon Strike + Demacian Standard i fairly easy to dodge. So he's basically unable to catch you. If you are fed, you will have no problems taking this guy down. JAX Jax is notoriously painful if you let him beat the **** outta you. So the trick to fighting him : don't let him beat the **** outta you. Use Playful / Trickster to avoid his stun and you'll be fine. JAYCE There is one thing all Jayce players will do. Which is to hit you with his accelerated Shock Blast. If you're already good with kiting skillshots like Mystic Shot, Bandage Toss, Sear, Dark Binding or anything else similar, then kiting Shock Blast would be a walk in the park. With Fizz's kit, he can outdo Jayce for sure. JINX Dont't let Jinx begin the attack first. If she attacks you first, try not to engage as she can easily land her Zap! and Flame Chompers! and you may already had taken too much damage to counter-attack. When she hit's level 6, keep in mind that she has her Super Mega Death Rocket! in case you're recalling at the turret with low health. KARMA People have been playing Karma as a mage more than a support nowadays. And she seems to do really well since her Inner Flame deals quite alot of damage and slows the target. It's even worse with Mantra activated. When fighting her, it's best to playful / trickste jump out of her range when she tethers you. Snaring you will enable her to land her Mantra-charged Inner Flame, which would take a big chunk of your HP. On lane, try to keep moving around and use your minions as a shield from her skill shots. Personally, I do have some difficulties when facing Karma as I can't really pick up kills easily. Especially if you fight a skilled Karma player. KARTHUS Karthus. Squishy as hell. Fizz's kit counters him completely. Karthus is never a threat as long as you stay near your minions and have your Playful / Trickster ready. Nimble Fighter allows you to move through your minions and avoid Lay Waste's double damage if you ever get hit. Try not to get hit by it though. It's pretty easy to dodge them. Save your Playful / Trickster as long as you can especially when Karthus hit's level 6. KASSADIN Kassadin was the most difficult champion to lane with in my experience. But thanks to his changes, especially the changes to Null Sphere not being able to silence anymore, he has become really weak against Fizz. His passive still does him some good since it reduces 15% magic damage, but an early Void Staff should deal with the problem. One thing which still stays the same is his ability to escape from you with Riftwalk. KATARINA Sexy but weak against Fizz. This hottie can deal significantly high damage throughout the game, but thanks to Fizz]'s kit, you would have no problems dealing with her. Katarina's [[Death Lotus is her main weakness once she hit's level 6. At early laning phase, most players will tend to spam their Bouncing Blades since you're a Fizz. Everyone should be afraid of Fizz. The way i deal with this is to stand far away from your minions and at the same time, near the enemy minions so you'd still get to last hit and get exp. If she get's too close, you can always poke her hard with Urchin Strike (which she'll Shunpo away most of the time). Overall, laning against Katarina isn't very hard. There's no way she'd be able to out do you on lane. KAYLE Kayle is one hell-of-an annoying champion to lane against. Her low mana usage for her Righteous Fury makes it quite a pain when you're low level. Try to keep a distance between you and your own minions. Don't be afraid to get closer to her cause if you do, most of them will shoot their Reckoning at you. Reckoning has a rather slow travel speed, which allows Playful / Trickster to render it useless. Usually when the enemy Kayle shoots Reckoning at me, I'd jump towards her. This way, she'd waste a good skill damage and you get to poke her. Don't worry about her at level 6. Her Ult never bothers me when I try to kill her. Even when I turret dive. KENNEN Kennen the flippin ninja is no match for the Tidal Trickster. He's fairly squishy at any point of the game, he will need to rely on his passive if he wants to kill you and he's a yordle. Good for your shark to eat. Kennen's Thundering Shuriken is quite easy to dodge so that's 1 skill down. Then he has his Electrical Surge which won't be useful unless he hits you with his Mark of the Storm. So that's 2 skills down. If you play it right, he would be using his Lightning Rush to escape from you. So 3 skills down if you're good. All that's left is his Ult. Which isn't much of a threat when you have Playful / Trickster ready. KHA'ZIX Kha'Zix can be quite dangerous if you aren't ready. He's a popular mid champ and he's melee. So when he tries to last hit minions, you can hit him with Seastone Trident activated when he gets close. Keep doing that and enjoy watching his health bar drop. If he's smart, he'd get an early Hexdrinker to prevent you from bursting him down. If he does get that, an early Void Staff would be advised. KOG'MAW This voidborn is another easy fella. He can't poke you much at early levels. Though he can try to by using his Void Ooze. But dodging that shouldn't be much of a problem. Just move left and right constantly and he'd most likely miss. LEBLANC LeBlanc is by far the most difficult champion to fight, in my opinion. Usually, I struggle to form a quick strategy to beat her on lane. There are many different LeBlanc players out there and each with their own way of using their abilities. My initial technique was to use Playful / Trickster whenever she uses her Sigil of Silence and at the same time, could dodge her Distortion. But there are times where I face a LeBlanc who leads in with Distortion first instead of Sigil of Silence. Basically to fight LeBlanc, you'll need to be quite skilled and know LeBlanc's kit. Since she is a trickster herself... One common technique I use is to position my Playful / Trickster between her Distortion points. That way I would be able to reach her wherever she blinks. LEE SIN "Force is meaningless without skill" Lee Sin is quite a common pick for a jungler. And it's essential to know how to fight him. He is very mobile when he has allies around. Watch out for his Resonating Strike as it can burst you down if you aren't careful. It's advised to fight him away from the minions or any of his allies. Take your time to aim your Ult if he's moving around too quickly. Try not to get hit by Cripple. You won't want that attack speed slow. Usually the main problem I face is not the enemy Lee Sin killing me, but the enemy Lee Sin killing the rest of my team. He's one of the most dominant champions in-game. Another champion you shouldn't underestimate. LEONA Leona isn't a big threat alone. But in teamfights, her Sunlight can allow her allies to take you down quickly. Use Playful / Trickster to get out of her crowd control abilities if necessary. LISSANDRA Lissandra can be very dominant on lane since you're melee. I would try not to stand behind my minions whenever possible to prevent getting hit by her Ice Shard. It's quite difficult to poke her efficiently due to her Ring of Frost if you get too close. But Fizz is capable of hitting her a few times before she gets out of range when you're snared. Lissandra players will decide on who to use Frozen Tomb on. Either herself or on you. If she uses it on herself, usually it would be to avoid your Ult. When she does, you would need to Playful / Trickster to avoid that Frozen Tomb damage. It hurts. Once she comes back out, if you still have plenty of health left, you can choose to kill her. (an Urchin Strike right after her Frozen Tomb ends will enable you to avoid her Ice Shard. It is best if she uses Frozen Tomb on herself. So try to land Chum the Waters on her before you engage the fight. Another way you can make sure she Ults herself is to get really close to her with Urchin Strike and immediately use Playful / Trickster. If she was about to cast Frozen Tomb on you, she would accidentally click on herself since you are untargetable. LUCIAN ADC are easy for Fizz. But Lucian tends to snowball really hard if your team isn't prepared to face him. Try ganking the Lucian if he's feeding off your team (or you). Chum the Waters is a great way to ruin his flow, especially when he's using The Culling. Anyways... Burst him down like any other ADC... LULU Polymorph will be the cause of your death. Don't get Polymorphed. It renders you completely useless, allowing her allies to destroy you before you could destroy them. You can use 'The Replacement' technique (description in the PEPPERMINT'S PLAYSTYLE section) to make her accidentally click on an allied champion instead of you. (you're more important than your allies... lol) When going in to poke her, be sure to kite her Glitterlance by moving left or right constantly. LUX Lux is one of the easier champions to deal with. All her abilities are skill shot and can easily be kited anytime, especially for someone like Fizz. Her Light Binding is the one you want to avoid at all times as it can snare you and keep her at a safe distance to poke you. Avoiding Light Binding can greatly increase the chances of winning the lane as she might get too close when casting and enabling you to Urchin Strike her. It's best to fight Lux at a close range as it's harder for her to position her Final Spark. Overall, you gotta think fast when fighting her to make those sweet plays. MALPHITE Malphite can be trouble if left unchecked at early. His Unstoppable Force is deadly at all ranks. That knock-up is able to ruin your flow and cause you to die in a team fight, before you could even use any of your abilities. On lane, try to keep his Granite Shield down as much as possible. Use Seastone Trident's active to help bring his life down. You can use Playful / Trickster to avoid his Seismic Shard and counter-attack by slamming down on him. This will put him at a disadvantage as most Malphites would max rank Seismic Shard first and you are able to render his harass ability completely useless. MALZAHAR Malzahar is pretty annoying. Most people like to spam their Malefic Visions and if you aren't careful, can drop your health down quite fast even at early ranks. Try to keep moving around to avoid Call of the Void from hitting you and keep away from your minion when it is almost killed off by Malefic Visions. Malzahar is most vulnerable after he casts Call of the Void and Malefic Visions. If you are able to avoid both those abilities, then you won't have much problems poking him hard with your Urchin Strike + Seastone Trident combo. Watch out for when he gets his Nether Grasp. Be sure to land your Ult on him before engaging him in combat. This will cause the Malzahar to hesitate whether to use his Ult or not. Either ways, you are able to kill him with your full combo. Throw in an [Ignite]] if necessary. MAOKAI Maokai is rather easy to deal with. His Twisted Advance can catch you off guard if you aren't careful. But still after the snare effect ends, he pretty much has no other abilities to take you down since you have Playful / Trickster. Do keep in mind that since Fizz naturally deals massive amount of damage, it's best you do not fight him in his Vengeful Maelstrom as it may absorb your high burst damage rapidly and enabling him to recast it in a short amount of time. He can't get too far without his teammates so if you encounter him on lane, make sure to bully him hard. MASTER YI Master Yi is quite a nuisance especially if your teammates aren't doing well. He may be able to destroy your entire team in a 5v5 fight. So be sure to burst him down quickly. You will be able to kill him since his meditate would have reduced healing if you hit him with an activated Seastone Trident or if you use your Chum the Waters. If however, you are fleeing from him, try to only use Playful / Trickster the moment he casts Alpha Strike on you. If necessary, use Chum the Waters' knock-up effect to slow him down. MISS FORTUNE Miss Fortune. Another ADC. Squishy like all other ADC. It shouldn't be any problem for Fizz to close the distance on her and burst her down with your full combo. Try not to fight her in her Make it Rain AoE, especially when diving turrets, as it would often lead to dying under the turret after picking up the kill on her. Position yourself nicely so that Make it Rain and Bullet Time does not deal the full damage. You can accomplish this by using Urchin Strike at a close distance after she casts the two abilities. MORDEKAISER Mordekaiser players are often underestimating the capabilities of Fizz due to the Iron Man passive. Don't worry much about the passive. Fizz's Seastone Trident passive can burn the shield down quickly. On lane, try to lead him away from the minions so that even if Siphon of Destruction hits you, it wouldn't grant him as much shield health as if he were to use it on a minion wave. If however, he managed to build up his shield, try using the regular Urchin Strike + Seastone Trident poke to get it down. With the help of Ignite, you get pick up an easy kill on him anytime. MORGANA What's annoying about Morgana is not her Dark Binding or Black Shield. It's her Tormented Shadow. Be sure not to take too much damage from it as it is rather painful if you stand in it for too long. Keep moving while laning against her to ensure she does not hit you with Tormented Shadow's full damage while simultaneously dodging any in-coming Dark Bindings. If you can kite Lux really well, then this would be a piece of cake. Don't play too aggressively when she has her Ult. I would suggest you Flash out of the tether range if possible, and saving Playful / Trickster to get back into the fray or to finish her off. NAMI Nami can be quite a pain at early levels. Her Ebb and Flow is almost impossible to dodge (unless you have an insanely quick finger for Playful / Trickster) due to the fast travel speed of the skill and it is a targeted ability. It deals some pretty hard hitting damage and it's best to stay away from her unless you are able to trade-off with your regular Urchin Strike + Seastone Trident combo to keep her HP similar to yours. It's fairly easy to dodge her Aqua Prison if you keep moving in unpredictable directions. If necessary, Urchin Strike can be used to avoid Aqua Prison or even better, Tidal Wave. If possible, try hitting her with Seastone Trident activated to reduce the healing from Ebb and Flow. NASUS Nasus can be easily countered if you use 'The Replacement' trick (further elaboration in the 'Playstyle' section above). Nasus deals really annoyingly high damage with Siphon Strike and it is best to avoid it as much as possible. His Wither wouldn't affect you much since you do have your Playful / Trickster escape tool and the attack speed reduction wouldn't affect an already slow hitting Fizz. You can still put up a good fight even without auto attacking him as quick. Try to fight him in his Ult when you have your Ignite ready. You might need an extra help to burn his big health down. If you can deal alot of damage to him in a very short amount of time, then that's good. If not, just back off and get some help if possible. (usually it wouldn't come to this situation if you bullied him earlier) NAUTILUS Ladadee... Ladadoo... Ladadum... Farily easy to fight. There isn't much "special" moves you need to use against this guy. He's pretty tanky with that Titan's Wrath. Don't try to fight him if he has his allies around or it may get ugly. Having the most CC on one champion alone, Nautilus can cause Fizz to be completely useless for a brief period and you may end up dead without even getting a chance to cast your abilities. Avoid his Dredge Line. Very similar to Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab and Amumu's Bandage Toss. His Depth Charge can be easily avoided with Playful / Trickster. No problems fighting him if hes alone... NIDALEE Nidalee can be quite the challenge if you aren't very good at dodging yet. It is essential to dodge Javelin Toss at all cost. What most Nidalee players won't remember is the Grievous Wounds] from [[Seastone Trident, where they immediately heal right after you poke her. The healing is reduced and you could take her down quicker. So basically, to fight a Nidalee, avoid Javelin oss, poke her hard and force her to use a reduced heal. NOCTURNE When fighting Nocturne, make sure you buy a Wriggle's Lantern. Just kidding. Nocturne can be a dangerous enemy if you aren't careful. Unspeakable Horror CAN fear you even if you used your Playful / Trickster. You need to break the tether to avoid that. Don't use Chum the Waters unless his Shroud of Darkness is on cooldown. Try to lead him off his Duskbringer path to reduce his damage output significantly. Most importantly, don't get feared! And embrace the darknesssss.... NUNU Nunu is a freaking piece of cake. Cake I tell ya! Ice Blast has a fairly slow travel speed so you can avoid it by timing your Playful / Trickster nicely. His Ult is useless if you already cast yours . Try to fight him away from any minions or monsters as he can Consume them and regain big chunks of health. You don't want that... OLAF Brolaf is immune to your knock up or slow. So.... yeah.... you won't have an easy time trying to catch him. But even so, you can burn his big health down fairly quickly with the help of the almighty Seastone Trident. No sweat bro. ORIANNA The Ball is what you have to focus on when fighting Orianna. Orianna will use the ball to hit you, which actually gives you an opening to kill her. Command:Dissonance usually comes right after Command: Attack so get out of the way when you see the ball flying towards you. It is also possible that Orianna will use Command: Shockwave too. A nicely timed Playful / Trickster can turn the fight completely, rendering her useless. PANTHEON Make Pantheon players wish they were a baker! He may harass you pretty hard with his Spear Shot. But once you hit level 3, with your Q, W, E ready, you will be able to destroy him effortlessly. Here's a tip: Try to land an auto attack to break his Aegis Protection so you wont lose out any damage output from your abilities. POPPY Poopy, one of the rarest champion you'd ever face as Fizz. Her Valiant Fighter passive won't help her much since your Seastone Trident can shred her HP little by little. Only problem is your burst damge is slightly reduced. Be wary of your positioning and do not allow her to pin you on the walls with her Heroic Charge. QUINN tag team Valor can be hard to catch sometimes. As for Quinn, you can pretty much burst her down as fast as any other ADC. RAMMUS Don't get taunted in team fights.... ok.... RENEKTON Nasus would be glad if you can destroy this lizard. Renekton's Ruthless Predator is what you want to avoid. And it's rather easy too. Just use Playful / Trickster right before he uses it while standing close to a minion. He will accidentally waste that stun and if you're lucky, might waste a Cull the Meek while he's at it. With the help of Ignite, it shouldn't take too much to kill him. RENGAR Rengar has had alot of changes recently. He still has that powerful assassin's burst. But he's still fairly weak if unable to land his abilities on a target. And Fizz is just the champion to deal with that. Kite his Bola Strike as much as possible. RIVEN When laning against a Riven, keep in mind of her skills cooldown. She doesn't run on mana, so try to deal some damage while keeping your mana up. Usually at level 6, if a fight does break out, I would preferably save my Playful / Trickster til the last minute and use it when I sense she is about to use Wind Slash. RUMBLE Rumble is only useful when it comes to a slow moving champion. Too bad Fizz is damn mobile. Kite his Electro-Harpoon with that similar technique used for Amumu's Bandage Toss. Try to engage him in combat after he just used his Flamespitter. If you managed to kite the harpoons and avoided the flames, all that's left is The Equalizer, which is super easy to avoid. Just strafe and take the fight out of the AoE. RYZE Ryze players will mostly try to harass you hard with their spammable Overload. So try to stay away from his range. When going on offense, use Urchin Strike to close the distance right before he uses Rune Prison. If done correctly, you would still be in range to land a few more Seastone Trident activated auto attacks. Overall, he's fairly easy to take down at anytime of the match. (as long as your teammates don't feed him...)
