Fizz is one of the most unique AP mid lane assassins. He is distinguished by his high damage Shark ultimate, as well as high mobility and untargetability. To get the most out of this champion, we are gonna dedicate this article to investigating the highest win build for him!
Best Fizz Items
Lich Bane
Lich Bane has been a core item for Fizz for seasons on end. The key selling point of this item is the damage amplification it gives after casting abilities. The damage has great synergy with Fizz’s W, and is crucial for most Fizz combos. Additionally, the item will give us a great early game stats base which does more than justify its purchase.
Zhonya’s Hourglass
Another essential item for Fizz is Zhonya’s Hourglass. Its passive “statis” is truly a must have. When activated, the passive will put us in an untargetable position for a few seconds. The time spend untargetable will often be life saving, as it will allow our team to come and help, and it will also give enough time for our E cooldown to reset.
Rabadon’s Deathcap
As with any full AP assassin build, we will want to build Rabadon’s as soon as possible. We are taking the item for two reasons, its high AP ratio, as well as for the 30% AP boost on all our total AP.
Mejai’s Soulstealer
The greatest item to combine with Rabadon’s is the Mejai’s Soulstealer. Each time we kill an enemy, the item will increase in stacks, granting us more and more AP. However, the item is somewhat risky, as each death will remove a significant value of our stacks, instantly deleting a huge chunk of our AP.
The item is highly valuable for those who can keep their death counts low, for those struggling, I would recommend picking another AP alternative such as Shadowflame. Shadowflame is not as strong, but it’s not nearly as risky either.
Void Staff
The greatest item to top off our AP Fizz build is the Void Staff. It will put a major 40% magic penetration buff on top of all the AP we have accumulated throughout the game. The extra magic pen will help us deal with tankier enemies, but it will significantly increase the damage output towards squishies enemies as well.
Boots
Out of all boot options, our greatest choice will be the Sorcerer’s Boots. We are taking these for a small magic pen boost.
Best Runes For Fizz
- Electrocute
- Sudden Impact
- Eyeball Collection
- Treasure Hunter
- Manaflow Band
- Transcendence
The greatest keystone for Fizz is Electrocute. It’s pretty easy to proc with most combos, and it will give us the greatest early damage. We will want to follow it up with Sudden Impact, which will increase the damage following our Q and E.
The best next two choices are the Eyeball Collection and Treasure Hunter. With each unique takedown, Eyeball collection will grant us permanent bonus damage, while Treasure Hunter will give us bonus gold. Finally, we will want to take Manaflow Band for Early game sustain, and Transcendance for bonus ability haste.
Final Thoughts
Fizz is a unique and interesting AP mid lane assassin. The most effective build for him is a full AP one. The key items of this build are the Lich Bane, Zhonya’s and Rabadon’s. Lich Bane is essential for higher damage output, Zhonya’s for safety, and Rabadon’s for amplifying all the damage. The final two items should usually be Mejai’s and Void Staff, but they can be swapped out for something else situationally.
