| Level 3 | Fizz | Level 3 his W-Q burst chunks you faster than your heal recovers. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vladimir | By level 4 your Q sustain heals through his poke and steadies the lane. |
| Level 6 | Vladimir | At 6 you pool his Chum the Waters shark and out-value his all-in. |
| First item | Fizz | First-item Lich Bane lets his E-W-Q rotation reclaim kill pressure. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | Two items in your sustain and amp out-heal his burst and win the duel. |
Fizz wins the early skirmishes: his E untargetability dodges your Transfusion and Tides mid-cast, and his Seastone Trident W shreds your health with the passive DoT. Levels 1-3 he can trickster-pole away from a gank or dive in for a W-Q burst that your heal can't yet answer. Don't waste Q or E while he can E out of it, and respect that his E resets his auto for extra on-hit damage. Farm behind minions, hold your cooldowns, and don't over-extend where his E mobility sets up a jungle kill.
