Fizz is one of the most unique AP assassins. He is mostly known for his slippery playstyle, and high damage ultimate. When it comes to his ARAM statistics, he is not the brightest shining star. However, the source of his lackluster success is easily fixable.
By examining his most common builds, it’s pretty clear that most players are not getting the greatest items on this champ. To make our story different and successful, today we are gonna start our way by focusing on the highest possible win rate Fizz ARAM build.
Best Items for Fizz ARAM
Stormsurge
A really great first item for Fizz in ARAM is the Stormsurge. The item will deal extra damage when we manage to burst 25% of the enemies’ HP in a short span of time. Since Fizz has decent early game damage, making use of the item’s passive should not be much of an issue.
Lich Bane
Lich Bane has been a stock purchase on Fizz for years, and not much has changed. The item is still great, for all the same reasons as always. It has pretty sweet AP ratios, as well as the easily procable passive that grants bonus damage on our auto-attacks.
Shadowflame
As with most builds of heavy AP nature, Shadowflame is a must. This item is second only to Rabadon when it comes to AP ratios. Other than granting us much AP, Shadowflame will also coat us with magic penetration, and a passive that enhances our abilities’ damage by 20% on low HP enemies.
Rabadon’s Deathcap
As already mentioned, Rabadon’s is pretty much THE item when it comes to AP builds. It offers a generous amount of 130 flat AP, as well as a 30% bonus on our total AP. This is pretty much the greatest item we can build considering our previous and future purchases for this build.
Void Staff
The third horseman of APocalypse is the Void Staff. This item has the greatest amount of magic penetration out of any single item in the game (40%), and having loads of magic penetration is pretty much it’s deal. Combined with the items we have built previously, it will add another layer of pure damage to our build. Having Void Staff equipped will mark our final and most major power spike in the game.
Boots
As some of you have already guessed, the boots for this build will be none other than Sorcerer’s Shoes. All the other stats offered by alternative boot choices are simply not as great as magic penetration Sorc’s provide.
Runes for Fizz ARAM
- Grasp of Undying
- Font of Life
- Conditioning
- Overgrowth
- Presence of Mind
- Legend: Haste
Some might be surprised to see we are running the Resolve tree on Fizz, but that’s pretty much the best rune loadout for ARAM Fizz currently. The Grasp of Undying will serve us pretty great by granting us a bunch of extra HP and damage on our basic attacks.
The Inspiration tree will also offer us with healing provided by Font of Life, and free armor stats from Conditioning. It will also give us free HP with Overgrowth, and some extra mana and ability haste with Presence of Mind and Legend: Haste.
Final Thoughts
Fizz is a champion that is not quite distinguished by his ARAM win rate. His success is mostly dragged down by a non-optimal build setup. To make things for yourself, I recommend following the above-proposed build. It is the generally highest win-rate build, and it should make Fizz much more viable in a wide variety of games.
