Nidalee into Fizzmedium

Overview

Use Nidalee's very high early game pressure to invade and punish Fizz's weaker early jungle clears.
Prioritize fast clears and river control to secure Scuttle and deny Fizz early objectives.
Leverage your mobility and ranged poke to avoid Fizz's melee engage and pre-level 3 weakness.

Invade Fizz during his slower or weaker clears to deny camps and build tempo.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when your lanes can move first for safer objective setups.
Track Fizz's pathing to counter-gank his melee engage pattern with ranged poke and mobility.

Beware of Fizz's level 6 all-in window, especially without lane 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.

Start with a fast, technical full clear to hit level 3 quickly for early invades.
Contest first Scuttle only if your nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky fights.
Use traps and spears to control river entrances and counter-invade safely.

Spike at level 3 with full combo and cougar execute; use this to invade or force Fizz off camps.
Respect Fizz's level 6 ultimate as a strong all-in threat; avoid extended fights without vision.
After your early item powerspike, increase pressure on objectives and counter-jungle to deny Fizz scaling.

Convert early jungle tempo into repeated invades denying Fizz camps and forcing him behind.
Use 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 before grouped fights reduce spear impact.
