Read from Naafiri's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Fizz.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Low-range Fizz loses the level-1 pack trade. |
| Level 2 | Naafiri | At 2 you keep trade priority before his escape matters. |
| Level 3 | Naafiri | Levels 3-5 stay yours while his R is still offline. |
| Levels 4-5 | Naafiri | At 6 his E dodges your W and R guarantees his all-in. |
| Level 6 | Fizz | First-item Lich Bane plus E dodge lets him out-burst you. |
| First item | Fizz | His untargetable E juks your dash through the item phase. |
| Two+ items | Fizz | Shark R and burst let a fed Fizz delete you at two items. |
Levels 1-2 favour you: Fizz is a low-range melee pre-6, so your packmates and Q bleed out-trade his Q pokes before his kit spikes. Track Fizz Playful / Trickster: 16s at rank 1, 8s maxed — the untargetable hop dodges your whole combo, so bait it before spending burst. Before Fizz has R you win trades — his E Playful/Trickster is his only escape, so E-Q-W him while it's on cooldown and packmates punish his Q dive.
