Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and wave control with Q poke and E waveclear, as Fizz lacks gap closers and sustain early.
- Post-6 becomes Fizz-favored since his R-Q-W combo can kill you through R shield if he dodges your R with E.
How to Trade
- You want to establish E on minions for passive shield generation while poking with Q when Fizz steps up for CS.
- Your best trades involve Q-W-E combo when his E is down, but always maintain distance and never extend trades.
Wave Control
- You should hard push waves with E to force Fizz under tower and deny his roaming potential while building passive shield stacks.
- Keep waves pushed to prevent him from setting up all-ins and maintain vision control for his roam timings.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must never use R when Fizz has E available, as he can easily dodge it and turn for a kill.
- Don't walk up for CS without passive shield or when your abilities are on cooldown, as Fizz can punish with Q-W trades.
