At a glance

Miasma turns assassins off — ground the dash, petrify the dive, and fang the helpless body that was supposed to one-shot you.

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

Do

  • Hold W strictly for his dive path
  • Face his engage so the R stuns, not slows
  • Punish every farm-approach with Q poke

Don't

  • Waste miasma on wave or spacing
  • Turn your back during his commit
  • Chase resets past your own miasma

How to beat Fizz as Cassiopeia: the early game

Fizz's Playful/Trickster makes him nearly untouchable when he chooses to engage, letting him land Seastone Trident procs while your Noxious Blast and Twin Fang mostly whiff. He controls the pace of every early trade because he decides when the jump happens, and your lack of hard CC before 6 means you can't punish him back. Play as safely as possible, ward tri-bush, and avoid overextending — this lane is about survival, not winning trades.
