Neeko vs Fizz

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Neeko has high lane pressure with E angles through minions and Q burst to contest Fizz's melee short trades.
Neeko must manage Fizz's mobility and dodge tools by using disguise and minion positioning to threaten roots and picks.

Trading pattern

Fish for E roots through minions, then follow up with Q burst before Fizz can use Fizz E to escape.
Respect Fizz E cooldown; punish when it's on cooldown by committing to burst trades.
Keep R threat hidden to force Fizz to respect all-ins or grouped fights, but don't force R if he can disengage easily.

Danger windows

Fizz level 3 and 6 unlocks create lethal burst windows; avoid extended trades during these spikes.
When Fizz's Fizz E is available, he can dodge your E root and punish missed attempts.
If disguise or W clone is tracked, your engage becomes easier for Fizz to respect, reducing pick potential.

Early game

Use E through minions to punish Fizz's melee approach before level 3 when his trade pattern unlocks.
Avoid extended trades if E misses or Fizz's Fizz E dodge is available to reduce burst risk.
Use W clone and disguise to confuse Fizz and create safer poke opportunities.

Power spikes

Neeko's major spikes: Level 6 R for all-in threat and first AP burst item.
Respect Fizz's level 3 unlock for his Q+W+E burst trade pattern and level 6 R kill threat.
Neeko's E becomes stronger when passing through minions, increasing root threat and trade potential.

Win conditions

Use minion waves to angle E roots and follow with Q to pressure Fizz before his level 3.
Leverage disguise and W clone to create uncertainty and set up R for multi-target crowd control in teamfights.
Deny Fizz safe scaling by punishing cooldowns and forcing him to play defensively before level 6.
