Nunu & Willump vs Fizz

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Nunu & Willump's strong early clear and objective control to pressure dragon and Herald before Fizz can leverage his burst potential.
Avoid isolated duels with Fizz; rely on ganks and numbers advantage from lanes to punish his melee all-in attempts.
Prioritize river control and vision denial to limit Fizz's mobility and escape options during skirmishes.

Jungle Plan

Path to gank lanes that can follow up on (W) angles to secure kills and convert into immediate dragon or Herald attempts.
Use (Q) plus Smite to secure early objectives quickly after successful ganks, denying Fizz scaling opportunities.
Track Fizz's position and counter-gank his first pressure by holding river control and using fogged (W) angles for surprise engages.

Danger windows

Beware of isolated river fights where Fizz's mobility and burst can outplay you without lane support.
Avoid low-health clears or forced Smite fights when Fizz can capitalize on your vulnerability.
Respect enemy lanes that can move first and deny you river control, increasing counter-gank risk against your engages.

Early game

Start with a fast full clear using (Q) to maintain health and tempo, enabling early river Scuttle contest.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks against Fizz's early aggression.
Avoid invading Fizz early unless lanes can follow, as his high mobility and burst make isolated fights risky.

Power spikes

At first dragon or Herald spawn, use (Q) plus Smite to force early objectives and capitalize on lane priority.
At level 6, layer (R) after (W) or allied CC to zone and burst enemies caught in your crowd control chain.
Respect Fizz's level 3 unlock of his engage and dodge combo; avoid giving him spacing for clean trades or all-ins.

Win conditions

Convert repeated successful ganks using (W) into fast dragon or Herald takes with (Q) and Smite for objective leads.
Deny Fizz scaling by controlling vision and river access, forcing him into unfavorable fights or farming under pressure.
Use your utility engage and zoning (R) in teamfights to create pick opportunities and enable carries to follow up on Fizz's absence or mistakes.
