Do

  • Commit second in every standoff

How to beat Ekko as Fizz: the early game

You have a slight edge in the earliest trades since your all-in combo comes online a touch faster, but both of you need to land a skillshot (his Timewinder, your Seastone poke) before committing, so trades in this window are close and skill-dependent. Track Chronobreak (R): 110s at rank 1, 50s at rank 3 — it undoes your kill, so hold your last burst until the rewind has landed.
