Use Nidalee's very high early game pressure and fast clears to invade and punish Fizz's weaker early jungle presence.
Prioritize early tempo and river control to secure Scuttle and deny Fizz's access to key objectives before he hits level 6.
Leverage Nidalee's high mobility and dueling to avoid risky fights and capitalize on Fizz's melee range and pre-level 3 weakness.
Jungle Plan
Invade Fizz early during his slower or weaker clears to deny camps and build jungle tempo advantage.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when your lanes have priority, enabling safer objective setups like early dragon or Rift Herald.
Track Fizz's pathing to counter-gank his early gank attempts and punish his melee engage pattern with ranged poke and mobility.
Danger windows
Beware of Fizz's level 6 all-in window, especially if your lanes lack priority or vision control.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision as Fizz's mobility and burst can punish overextensions.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights where Fizz can capitalize on your vulnerability.
Early game
Start with a fast, technical full clear to reach level 3 quickly and prepare for early invades.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid unfavorable fights.
Use traps and spears to control river entrances and safely counter-invade if Fizz shows on the opposite side of the map.
Power spikes
Nidalee spikes at level 3 with access to full combo and cougar execute; use this to invade or force Fizz off camps.
Respect Fizz's level 6 (R) ultimate as it creates a strong all-in threat; avoid extended fights without vision or lane priority.
After Nidalee's early item powerspike, increase pressure on objectives and counter-jungle to deny Fizz scaling.
Win conditions
Convert early jungle tempo into repeated invades denying Fizz camps and forcing him onto the back foot.
Use Nidalee's poke and mobility to set up safe ganks and secure early dragons and Rift Herald.
Maintain river vision and track Fizz's position to counter-gank and control key objectives, snowballing your lead before grouped fights reduce spear impact.
Tip: For Nidalee vs Fizz, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Jungle lane check.
