the Tidal Trickster

Fizz combos

The burst

R › W › Q › E

When: A carry is within range.

Chum the Waters slows the target and makes a shark surge up, knocking them up and pushing nearby enemies back; follow with Seastone Trident, Urchin Strike and Playful / Trickster.

The trade

W › AA AA › Q

When: An enemy is within range.

Seastone Trident makes them bleed and empowers your attacks; Urchin Strike makes you dash through the target while dealing magic damage.

The dodge

E › E

When: An enemy casts a decisive ability.

Playful / Trickster makes you untargetable; from that position, you can slam the ground or leap again.

Common mistakes

• Casting the ultimate without checking the fish's trajectory.
• Using Playful / Trickster with no need: its cooldown is long early on.
• Not using the pass-through of units to reposition.

Cooldowns, costs and ranges

A combo only comes back once its abilities are off cooldown: these values (rank 1 to max rank, in seconds) tell how long to wait between two combos. Source: Data Dragon 16.19.1.

Riot's official tips for playing Fizz

• Since Fizz can move through units, find opportunities in lane to walk through minions and apply Seastone Trident's passive - following it up with the ability's active attack after a few seconds.
• Fizz's ultimate ability, Chum the Waters, can be aimed at an enemy or towards the area where you think they'll be going.
• Fizz's spells scale off Ability Power - consider getting items like Zhonya's Hourglass or Banshee's Veil against teams that have high burst threat - and items like Lich Bane or Rabadon's Deathcap if you think you can survive without the Health.

How to play around Fizz's combos

• Fizz's attacks becomes more deadly for a few seconds after he uses his empowered attack - keep him away while his trident is glowing!
• Fizz is a slippery target when his abilities are not on cooldown - bait him into using them early and follow up with crowd control or hard-hitting attacks!
