Gragas vs Fizz

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Gragas's medium early game pressure and strong gank threat to contest river control and influence lanes early.
Prioritize objective control with (R) displacement to secure dragon and Rift Herald fights over Fizz's less reliable early jungle pressure.
Manage cooldowns carefully to avoid being punished after missed (E) or during Fizz's level 6 burst windows.

Jungle Plan

Path to lanes where (E) can interrupt Fizz's engage or force his flash, using (R) to isolate him during objective fights.
Contest first Scuttle crab only if your lanes can provide pressure to prevent Fizz from snowballing through early ganks.
Use your objective control and displacement to force Fizz off dragon and Rift Herald, denying him smite access and scaling.

Danger windows

Respect Fizz's level 3 power spike when his (Q)(W)(E) combo becomes a real all-in threat; avoid fights without cooldowns ready.
Beware of isolated river skirmishes where Fizz can use (E) to dodge your engage and burst you down.
Avoid forced smite fights when low on health or cooldowns, as Fizz's burst and mobility can punish mistakes.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear to maintain health and tempo, adapting to lane priority to contest first Scuttle crab.
Fight for river control only when nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks against Fizz's early aggression.
Avoid direct early invades against Fizz before level 3 when his burst combo and mobility become threatening.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full kit to execute short burst trades with (E) stun and passive sustain, punishing Fizz before his combo is fully available.
At level 6, leverage (R) displacement to disengage Fizz's all-in or isolate him for your team to follow up.
After first AP or tank item, capitalize on your improved burst or durability to trade confidently and deny Fizz's extended fights.

Win conditions

Convert early river control and successful ganks into dragon and Rift Herald objectives using your (R) to disrupt enemy formations.
Deny Fizz free farm and scaling by invading or counter-jungling when lanes have priority and his (E) is on cooldown.
Use your burst engage and displacement to create picks or disengage in teamfights, controlling space and protecting carries.
