Fizz vs Darius

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Fizz's early burst and high mobility to avoid (E) pull and extended passive stack trades.
Prioritize short burst trades and leverage level 6 all-ins to snowball and deny Darius lane dominance.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize fast clears and contest Scuttle only when allied lanes have priority to avoid risky fights.
Counter-jungle Darius before his first item spike to deny his dueling strength and sustain.
Establish vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to leverage Fizz's mobility for picks and objective pressure.

Danger windows

Avoid extended fights when Darius has five passive stacks and (E) pull available, as he can lock down and burst Fizz.
Be cautious contesting river or objectives when (R) is up, due to his execute and reset threat.
Low-health jungle clears or forced smite fights favor Darius if Fizz mismanages cooldowns or positioning.

Early game

Clear jungle camps efficiently to hit level 3 quickly and unlock Fizz's full engage and escape combo.
Avoid early river fights unless nearby lanes have priority to contest Scuttle or invade safely.
Track Darius's jungle position to anticipate his low mobility and punish slow clears or overextensions.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks (Q)+(W)+(E) combo, enabling reliable burst trades; use this to punish Darius before he stacks passive.
Level 6 grants (R) for lethal all-ins and pick potential; track ultimate cooldown to force fights or disengage safely.
First completed AP assassin item significantly boosts damage; increase pressure to deny Darius farm and force mistakes.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo into denying Darius camps and controlling dragon vision to limit his scaling and objective access.
Use level 6 all-in windows to burst Darius or force him out of lane, enabling roams to snowball other lanes.
Maintain river control and counter-gank readiness to exploit Darius's low mobility and secure teamfight access for Fizz's burst potential.
