How to beat Fizz as Qiyana: the early game

You own levels 1-4. Both of you are melee, but Fizz is squishier early and his E is expensive and long on cooldown, so short element-Q trades and a shove-heavy lane keep him behind. Deny his farm and threaten all-ins while his Playful/Trickster can't bail him out. Track Fizz Playful / Trickster (E): matchup-defining — 16s at rank 1, 8s at rank 5. The untargetable hop dodges your whole combo; bait it before spending your burst.
