How to win lane as Fizz against Naafiri · 54.18% win rate over 4,557 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Fizz | Naafiri's hound pack doesn't come online yet at level 1, so the very first level stays neutral-to-you |
| Level 2 | Naafiri | By level 2 her extra hound and dash-reset E give her the all-in edge, so this phase favors her |
| Level 3 | Naafiri | Level 3 all-in windows are hers — hound damage plus mobility beats your pre-6 combo |
| Levels 4-5 | Naafiri | Levels 4-5 stay in her favor for the same reason: her burst pattern outpaces your scaling before ultimate |
| Level 6 | Fizz | Level 6 flips hard to you since Trickster answers her dash and gives you a real burst combo |
| First item | Fizz | First item burst extends your new advantage since your scaling now clearly outpaces her flat hound damage |
| Two+ items | Fizz | Late game she needs isolated picks to have any value and dies fast to your burst, so 2+ items favor you |
Naafiri's hound-summon passive and dash-reset E give her a burst pattern that beats your pre-6 combo clean, so respect her all-in potential from level 2 onward and don't contest trades you can't win. Ward the jungle entrances since she often plays with jungler pathing to force an early kill before you have real answers.
