| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Fizz | Fizz can E-dodge your Overload and last-hit safely while his passive cuts your auto damage at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 the lane is even as you poke with Q and he hunts an E-in trade. |
| Level 3 | Ryze | At level 3 Rune Prison roots him out of Playful/Trickster for a full Overload burst. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Trades stay even at 4-5, decided by whether he baits your root before committing E. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 his shark all-in and your Realm Warp escape-burst threat cancel out on cooldowns. |
| First item | Ryze | Your first-item spike lets you survive his combo and out-scale his assassin power. |
| Two+ items | Ryze | Multi-item Ryze out-DPSes Fizz and kites his cooldown-reliant burst. |
Fizz edges levels 1-2: he can E-dodge your Overload and last-hit safely while his passive reduces your auto damage, so poke with Q from range and do not overextend for CS.
