Jax vs Fizz

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Survive early jungle skirmishes and avoid overcommitting before your item spikes to outscale Fizz's burst threat.
Prioritize controlled pathing and vision to prevent Fizz from snowballing through early picks or counterjungling.

Jungle Plan

Focus on pathing to secure camps efficiently and maintain tempo for item spikes rather than forcing early fights.
Use vision to track Fizz's jungle routes and be ready to counter-gank when Fizz commits to ganks or invades.
Prioritize securing dragon and Rift Herald when lanes have priority to leverage your scaling and splitpush strengths.

Danger windows

Be cautious around level 3 when Fizz gains his full combo and burst potential; avoid isolated river fights without lane support.
Avoid fighting when your (E) is down, as you lose your main defensive tool against Fizz's burst and mobility.
Watch for forced smite fights or low-health clears where Fizz can capitalize on your cooldowns and mobility disadvantage.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach level 3 safely before contesting river or Scuttle, minimizing early burst risk.
Avoid early invades unless nearby lanes have priority to back up counter-ganks against Fizz's high early agency.
Contest first Scuttle only if you have lane priority and vision control to reduce Fizz's escape and burst angles.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks your (R), increasing your durability and sustained damage; use this to take longer trades when (E) is available.
Two-item spike significantly boosts your dueling and splitpush threat; force side-lane pressure to draw enemy attention.
Respect Fizz's level 3 and level 6 spikes, as his burst and mobility peak; avoid extended fights before your key cooldowns and items are ready.

Win conditions

Convert jungle tempo into securing dragon and Rift Herald with lane priority to leverage your scaling dueling power.
Use your two-item spike to pressure side lanes and force enemies to respond, creating space for your team.
Deny Fizz free farm and counter-jungle opportunities by tracking his pathing and punishing aggressive plays with counter-ganks and vision control.
