Fizz is a powerful AP Assassin, relatively easy to learn, making him an excellent choice for players new to the assassin role.

Skill Order Priority:

• E (Playful/Trickster) - Max first
• W (Seastone Trident) - Max second
• Q (Urchin Strike) - Max last

E Ability Mechanics:

• SlowE: Standard landing with large AOE damage and slow effect
• FastE: Extended jump with smaller damage radius, no slow, but better directional control
• Use SlowE ~80% of the time for waveclear and reliable damage

Core Trade Pattern:

1. Initiate with FastE (ideally dodging enemy ability)
2. Auto-attack
3. W for auto-attack reset
4. Q to escape through minions

Ultimate (Chum the Waters) Tips:

• Cast from outside enemy vision for better success rate
• Hide animation during Q dash
• Use E to dodge CC when shark is about to snap

Item Build Path: Starting Items:

• Dark Seal
• Refillable Potion

Core Items:

• Hextech Rocketbelt
• Sorcerer's Shoes
• Rabadon's Deathcap
• Void Staff

Situational Items:

• Zhonya's Hourglass
• Lich Bane
• Shadowflame
• Mejai's Soulstealer (if ahead)

Key Strengths:

• Strong snowball potential
• Excellent mobility
• High burst damage
• Good wave clear with E

Weaknesses:

• Relies heavily on E for multiple purposes
• Vulnerable when E is on cooldown
• Predictable counterplay at higher ranks
• Struggles against tanky compositions

Despite not being meta in higher ranks, Fizz remains a strong pick in lower Elos where his snowball potential and ability to capitalize on enemy mistakes make him a formidable threat.
