Ziggs vs Fizz

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ziggs is a poke artillery mage who wants to control the lane with long-range Q and E poke and fast waveclear to deny Fizz's short trades.
Maintain high lane pressure to prevent Fizz from safely engaging and force him to respect your W disengage and turret execute potential.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q from max range and zone Fizz with E minefield to punish his approach paths.
Respect Fizz's Fizz E dodge and avoid committing if it is available; punish when Fizz uses it recklessly.
Avoid using W aggressively unless you can safely execute turrets, as W cooldown down makes you vulnerable to Fizz's engage.

Danger windows

Ziggs is most vulnerable when W is on cooldown, as Fizz can exploit your low mobility with his dash and burst.
Fizz's level 6 R creates a kill threat; avoid extended trades or low health states after this power spike.
Be cautious before level 3, as Fizz is weaker but can punish overextensions if you mismanage cooldowns or positioning.

Early game

Use Q and E to poke Fizz from a distance and avoid his melee engage before level 3 when his all-in is weaker.
Preserve W for emergency disengage against Fizz's dash-in burst attempts with Fizz Q and Fizz E.
Clear waves quickly to deny Fizz opportunities to roam or set up short trades.

Power spikes

Ziggs's level 6 R adds long-range burst and objective control that can punish Fizz's all-in attempts.
Fizz's level 3 unlocks his main engage combo with Fizz Q, W, and Fizz E dodge, increasing his kill threat.
Both champions spike on first completed AP items, so maintain pressure before Fizz reaches this power.

Win conditions

Use consistent long-range poke and waveclear to keep Fizz low and deny his short trade windows.
Convert lane pressure into turret damage by safely using W to execute plates when Fizz is forced to respect your poke.
Deny Fizz's all-in by saving W for disengage and punishing his cooldowns, especially Fizz E, to maintain lane control.
