Fizz vs Skarner

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Fizz's early mobility and burst to disrupt Skarner's controlled pathing and limit his objective control.
Avoid prolonged fights where Skarner's tankiness and suppression dominate, focusing on quick picks and tempo swings.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize fast camp clears and look for opportunistic invades when Skarner is on the opposite side or low health.
Use superior mobility to contest river vision and deny Skarner safe access to dragon and Rift Herald setups.
Track Skarner's pathing toward wall-heavy lanes and be ready to counter-gank or invade when his gank angles are predictable.

Danger windows

Avoid fighting near river chokes where Skarner can stun with (E) and suppress with (R), especially before level 6.
Beware low-health clears or forced smite fights where Skarner's tank frontline and suppression can overwhelm you.
Respect moments when Skarner's nearby lanes have priority, enabling his terrain-based ganks and objective control.

Early game

Execute a fast first clear to reach level 3 quickly and unlock your burst combo for early invades or counter-ganks.
Contest the first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Skarner's terrain control and suppression setups.
Avoid extended river fights early, as Skarner's wall control and stun make isolated engagements risky.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full engage combo with (Q), (W), and (E), enabling stronger early trades and skirmishes; use this to pressure Skarner.
Level 6 (R) provides a potent pick tool to burst isolated targets and reset fights; force Skarner to respect your all-in windows.
First completed AP assassin item amplifies your damage, increasing threat on objectives and forcing Skarner to play more cautiously.

Win conditions

Convert early level 3 and 6 power spikes into aggressive invades and counter-jungling to deny Skarner farm and tempo.
Use superior mobility and burst to secure picks around dragon and Rift Herald, disrupting Skarner's frontline control.
Maintain vision control in river and jungle entrances to force Skarner into unfavorable fights and extend your early snowball lead.
