At a glance

A reset duel where yours rewinds — trade strings, bank the hologram, and counter-kill the all-in he can't take back.

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

Do

  • String trades behind W prophecy zones
  • Hold R for his real commitment
  • Punish the post-combo silence hard

Don't

  • Coin-flip level 6 with R down
  • Blink in for greed without the string
  • Fight in his wave at even HP

How to beat Fizz as Ekko: the early game

This lane is a genuine skill matchup — Fizz's Seastone Trident poke and slippery Trickster jump make him hard to pin down, while your own Q-W trades and wave pressure keep things even, so neither side has a clear edge until levels 4-5 shake out based on who executes better. Track Playful / Trickster is 16s at rank 1 and 8s at rank 5 — it goes untargetable AND grounds, so it eats your burst and switches off your E. Wait the hop out, never spend into it.
