Fizz vs Xerath

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Fizz is a high-mobility assassin who wants to pressure Xerath early and punish his immobility.
Use lane pressure to deny Xerath's poke and prevent him from safely scaling with his artillery style.

Trading pattern

Engage with Q and W for burst, use E to dodge Xerath E or Xerath Q, then disengage or finish.
Punish Xerath when he misses Xerath E or is forced to retreat after charging Xerath Q.
Avoid trading when Xerath's poke abilities are off cooldown and he is positioned safely.

Danger windows

Before level 3, you are vulnerable to Xerath's poke and stun, so play cautiously.
When Xerath's Xerath E is up and aimed, avoid engaging or stepping forward.
Post level 6, Xerath's ultimate extends his kill threat; only engage with E ready to dodge.

Early game

Avoid extended fights before level 3; focus on farming and dodging Xerath's poke with E.
Use early wave pressure to force Xerath to miss skillshots and create openings.
Respect Xerath's stun (Xerath E) and avoid stepping up without E ready.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full burst combo with Q, W, and E for trades.
Level 6 R enables kill pressure with your all-in combo.
Respect Xerath's level 6 R and his first completed AP item spike for increased poke threat.

Win conditions

Use your mobility and burst to punish missed Xerath E and force him out of lane.
Short trades with Q, W, and E to whittle down Xerath before committing to all-ins at level 6.
Deny Xerath safe farming by pressuring the wave and forcing him to miss skillshots, preventing his scaling.

Tip: For Fizz vs Xerath, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
