Track: Qiyana's E — Audacity (11–7s cooldown). Her stick dash — once spent she cannot reach you; kite the cooldown.
Read from Fizz's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Qiyana.
This is Fizz's own plan; across 2,974 pooled games the lane is leaning Fizz.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Qiyana | Qiyana's terrain-fueled all-in out-trades anything you can answer with at level 1 |
| Level 2 | Qiyana | Same story at level 2 — she keeps the terrain advantage and the tempo |
| Level 3 | Qiyana | Level 3 she's still ahead on burst potential off any nearby wall or brush |
| Levels 4-5 | Qiyana | Levels 4-5 her damage lead compounds before your kit comes online |
| Level 6 | Fizz | At 6 your ult resets and disengage options let you flip the all-in back to even |
| First item | Fizz | First item Riftmaker/Nashor's pushes your burst-per-cooldown ahead of hers |
| Two+ items | Fizz | Late game your split-push scaling and Zhonya's outclass her flat damage ceiling |
Qiyana's kit is built around abusing the terrain-dense mid lane — every wall and brush patch is a free damage and CC amplifier, so from levels 1 through 5 she can all-in you off cooldown with an empowered Q or E-Q combo you can't out-trade with basic Fizz pokes. You have to bait those terrain procs away from walls or eat a stun-into-burst combo you simply lose. Supreme Display of Talent at 6 adds a knockup and a big nuke that can flat-out kill you if she's already ahead, so this window is hers to press.

Start Doran's Shield + Health Potion and back for Hextech Alternator (≈1100g) — strings start one-shotting math. Build Stormsurge / Rocketbelt first, then Zhonya's / Rabadon's path, with Plated Steelcaps / Sorcerer's.
