Win Condition
Identify the primary enemy carry and eliminate them before or at the start of teamfights. Use your mobility to flank, land a max-range , and use to survive the retaliation.
Playstyle
An opportunistic assassin who punishes poor positioning. You survive a rough early game to become a high-mobility menace that deletes squishies and disappears using untargetability.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
- + provides one of the best basic-ability escapes/utility tools in the game
- +Extreme single-target burst once attaches
- + allows you to ignore minion collision, making it easier to maneuver through waves for trades
- +High outplay potential by using to dodge high-impact enemy ultimates
Weaknesses
- -Very weak levels 1 and 2; highly susceptible to poke from ranged mid-laners
- -Extremely reliant on —if you use it to engage and don't get the kill, you are a sitting duck
- -Waveclear is tied to your primary escape and defensive tool ()
- -Highly dependent on hitting from distance to maximize damage and crowd control
Abilities
You take reduced damage from all sources and ignore unit collision. Use this to walk through your own minions to surprise the enemy with a or -empowered auto. You don't get 'creep blocked,' so use that to path more efficiently than your opponent.
A fixed-distance dash through an enemy. It applies on-hit effects like Lich Bane. You can use on a minion to close the gap to a champion or to escape a gank. It's a great way to guarantee your lands.
Your main trading tool. It resets your auto-attack timer. The passive applies a bleed, but the active is where the burst is. Always try to Auto then immediately press for an instant double-tap of damage.
Your bread and butter. You become untargetable. If you don't reactivate it, you land for a large AOE slow. If you press it again, you jump further but lose the slow and have a smaller damage radius. Only double-tap if you need the extra distance to reach or flee.
A skillshot that attaches a shark to a target. The further it travels, the bigger the shark and the more damage it does. It provides a massive knock-up. Lead your shot or use it from fog of war to give the enemy less time to react.
Teamfight Role
Assassin/Disruptor
Your job is to wait for the engage, then dive the backline. Land on the ADC or Support. Use to dodge the initial peel/CC. Once your target is dead, use your low cooldowns to clean up the rest of the fight.
If your team is being dove by a single fed bruiser, you can use as peel to knock them up and save your own ADC.
Combos
The Bread and Butter
→ Auto → → (to slow/disengage)
Your standard lane trade. Q in, reset your auto with W, and use E to either deal extra damage if you're winning or hop away if the enemy is fighting back.
Standard All-In
→ → → Auto →
Hit the long-range shark first. Use E to gap close or dodge their counter-CC while the shark is ticking, then finish with the Q-W reset combo once they are knocked up.
The Hidden Fish
(on minion) → (mid-dash) →
Use Q on a minion to suddenly close distance, and cast R during the dash animation. This makes the projectile much harder to dodge because the travel time is reduced and the animation is partially hidden.
Max Damage Burst
→ → Auto → → (held for landing)
Used when you are sure you can kill. R for the amp/CC, Q to get in, W reset for burst, then E to stay on top of them or dodge their last-ditch effort to trade back.
Power Spikes
| Spike | Why |
|---|---|
| Level 3 | You finally have access to , , and , allowing you to take meaningful trades and actually kill opponents who overstep. |
| Level 6 | is a massive power spike. It gives you the kill pressure needed to force the enemy out of lane or roam for easy kills. |
| Level 9 | Usually, your is now maxed out. This significantly lowers the cooldown of your most important ability, increasing both your safety and damage. |
| Level 11 | Rank 2 increases the base damage significantly, allowing you to one-shot carries even if you aren't massively ahead. |
Tips & Tricks
- • can be used to hop over almost every thin wall in the game; use it to steal camps or escape through the jungle.
- •Don't immediately recast if you need the slow; letting Fizz fall naturally has a much larger impact radius.
- • is an auto-attack reset; always use it immediately after a basic attack to maximize your DPS.
- •You can use Flash during the second part of to change your landing location and surprise enemies.
- • damage reduction applies to every tick of minion damage, making you surprisingly tanky against large waves early on.
- •If an enemy is about to Zhonya's, time your so you land right as they become targetable again.
Common Mistakes
- ✕Using purely for waveclear when you don't know where the enemy jungler is→You are left with no escape tool and become an easy 300 gold for the enemy team.
- ✕Casting at point-blank range→The shark is tiny, deals significantly less damage, and has a much smaller slow/knock-up radius.
- ✕Double-tapping every time you use it→You miss out on the slow and the larger AOE damage, often allowing the enemy to walk away with 10 HP.
- ✕Forgetting that moves a fixed distance through the target→You might accidentally dash under a tower or into a dangerous position when trying to finish a kill.
- ✕Panic-pressing the moment a fight starts→You waste your only defensive tool on minor damage instead of saving it to dodge a critical CC ability like a Malzahar R or Ahri E.
