| Level 6 | Fizz | Level 6 Demonic Ascension adds sustain but no escape, so your dive timing still wins |
| First item | Fizz | First item your burst overwhelms his healing before Ravenous Flock ramps up |
| Two+ items | Fizz | Late game your 1v1 burst still deletes him despite his teamfight-anchor scaling |
Swain is a mid-range mage with no dash and a short-range root, which means Fizz's Urchin Strike engage and Playful/Trickster reposition let you close distance and burst him before he ever lands his combo cleanly. From level 1 through 5, if you play patient and punish his E whiffs, you're consistently winning short trades and can force him off farm.
