At a glance

His E dodges your full pattern and his dive ignores the knockback — the W hop is your only honest answer; bank it like rent and hug tower post-6.

Track: Fizz's E — Playful / Trickster (16–8s cooldown). The untargetable hop dodges your whole combo — bait it before spending your burst.

Do

  • Bank W exclusively for his engage
  • Fight near your R zone's exit edge
  • Crash waves and ping his roams

Don't

  • Hop for poke spacing — ever, here
  • Shove past river with W down
  • Greed the recast at half HP

Favour timeline — the windows in Aurora's game plan

Read from Aurora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Fizz.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1AuroraFizz is melee with no ranged tool at all — Urchin Strike needs 550 and a target, so a Q at 900 is damage he simply cannot answer at level 1.
Level 2Even / skillW at 2 gives you the leap out, and he still has to cross 900 before he can start.
Level 3FizzPlayful / Trickster lands at 3: he closes untargetable, so there is no poke window you can hold.
Levels 4-5FizzLevels 4-5 are his: the trident re-empowers every few seconds, the hop is back every 14, and your passive heal cannot keep pace.
Level 6FizzChum the Waters is his level: 1300 range, it attaches to whoever touches it, and the knock-up leads into the trident combo.
First itemFizzBetween Worlds does not pierce his untargetability — nothing does. First item just means the combo after the hop finishes you.
Two+ itemsEven / skillTwo items in he still picks the moment: untargetable on entry, and a 1300-range fish to open with.

How to beat Fizz as Aurora: the early game

Fizz has no ranged poke — Seastone Trident empowers his attacks rather than throwing anything — so everything starts with Urchin Strike closing 550 onto a target. Hold Q at 900 and he has to spend that dash to be in the fight at all. Two things blunt the obvious answer: Nimble Fighter cuts a flat amount from every source of damage, so chip is worth less here than it looks, and Playful / Trickster makes him untargetable for the whole hop. Trade in full patterns, on the landing, never into the air.
