Fizz vs Zed

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Fizz's early jungle agency and burst to pressure Zed's weaker early clears and invade windows.
Prioritize river vision and Scuttle control to deny Zed safe objective access and limit his roam potential.

Jungle Plan

Invade Zed's jungle before his first clear finishes to disrupt his tempo and force him off camps.
Maintain river control and Scuttle vision to enable safer ganks and prevent Zed's counter-invades.
Focus early ganks on lanes with priority to snowball leads and secure dragon or Rift Herald control.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 3 when your mobility and burst are limited.
Be cautious contesting objectives when (R) is available, as he can burst down isolated targets.
Prioritize vision and lane priority to mitigate risk during low-health clears or forced smite fights against Zed's burst.

Early game

Full clear quickly to reach level 3 and unlock your burst combo for early skirmishes.
Contest the first Scuttle Crab aggressively when nearby lanes hold priority to deny Zed vision.
Avoid extended fights before level 3 to prevent being punished for reckless (E) use.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full burst combo with (Q), (W), and (E), enabling strong early skirmishes and counter-invades.
Level 6 (R) grants powerful all-in and pick potential; track Zed's ultimate cooldown to engage safely.
First completed AP assassin item boosts damage and objective pressure, allowing more confident map control.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo and successful invades into dragon and Rift Herald control to snowball the map.
Use superior burst and mobility to force picks and counter-ganks around river and jungle entrances.
Deny Zed scaling by maintaining vision dominance and contesting camps, forcing him into unfavorable fights before his power spikes.
