Poppy vs Fizz

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Poppy's high early game pressure and strong dueling to contest river control and punish Fizz's mobility reliance in the jungle.
Focus on terrain-heavy river fights where Poppy's wall stun and dash denial can lock down Fizz and secure objectives.

Jungle Plan

Path towards lanes with walls to maximize (E) wall stun and hold (W) to deny Fizz's dash engages.
Invade Fizz early when lanes can collapse, using Poppy's high invade resistance and dueling to disrupt his jungle tempo.
Use (R) to remove Fizz from objective fights, especially during dragon or Rift Herald contests, to secure favorable team engagements.

Danger windows

Beware of Fizz's level 3 power spike when he gains his full engage and dodge combo, increasing his kill threat.
Isolated river fights without nearby lane support are risky due to Fizz's mobility and burst potential.
Forced smite fights on objectives are dangerous if (R) is down, as Poppy loses a key tool to deny or reset fights.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into early gank or invade to leverage Poppy's strong early pressure and terrain control.
Fight for first Scuttle Crab only when nearby lanes have priority to safely contest river vision and deny Fizz's access.
Avoid extended fights without terrain advantage, as Fizz's high mobility can punish overcommitment.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to isolate or disengage Fizz during objective fights or skirmishes, forcing him to reposition or lose access.
First tank item spike increases durability to withstand Fizz's burst, enabling Poppy to front-line and peel effectively.
Respect Fizz's level 3 spike when he unlocks (Q)+(W)+(E) combo; avoid giving him clean engages before this point.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle pressure and terrain control into securing first Scuttle and early dragons to deny Fizz's scaling.
Use (E) wall stuns and (W) dash denial to create gank opportunities and force Fizz off camps.
Leverage (R) to control fights around objectives, peeling for carries and disrupting Fizz's all-in attempts to maintain map control.
