| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Fizz | His untargetable E dodges your poke while his Trident chips you at level 1 |
| Level 2 | Fizz | Level 2 is the same story — Fizz avoids retaliation for free early damage |
| Level 3 | Fizz | By level 3 his combo threatens real damage you have no reliable answer to |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 the trade math still heavily favors his evasive poke kit |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 closes the gap as your new Riftwalk mobility matches his shark-ult engage |
| First item | Even / skill | First item: blink-strings chunk him, and Playful/Trickster dodges one of them, not the next |
| Two+ items | Kassadin | Full build Kassadin bursts him down before his defensive tools can save him twice |
Fizz completely wins levels 1-5 — Playful/Trickster dodges your Q and his Trident poke chips you for free, leaving you with no reliable way to punish his aggression before your own mobility comes online. Track Playful / Trickster is 16s at rank 1 and 8s at rank 5, and the hop is untargetable — bait it, then spend your burst inside that window.
