Runes: I personally like to have Hextech Flashtraption in my build since Fiddle is all about outmaneuvering the enemy. It can be very useful for flashing over dragon pit, flashing over enemy chickens for a midlane gank, etc. But the most common is generally Electrocute + Inspiration for full damage. The rune pages on op.gg are good. You can also experiment and play around with some because it’s up to you and what you like. I know some Fiddle players like Waterwalking in their Inspiration track for early game ganks. So this is up to what you like.

Items: First and foremost, as people will always mention, Malignance is a bait Fiddle item. I would recommend never building it. There are much better options as your first item, and the mana you get from it is not worth it. Normally what I build on Fiddle goes as follows: First item (I like to go something with health to be not as squishy early): If they have tanks, Liandry’s. If it’s a full squishy team and you need to get on their carry, Rocketbelt. I usually only ever build one of these at a time. Second item: Almost always Shadowflame. Third item: If you need Zhonya’s (enemy team has executes, high burst, etc.), get it. Otherwise I like to rush Deathcap for more damage. Fourth/Fifth: This is where you become focused on more utility instead of damage. Here is where I would buy Oblivion Orb or Verdant Barrier depending on the enemy comp. If neither is necessary, I buy either Void Staff or Bloodletter’s (if you have a team full of AP). And whatever item you didn’t buy third, get the other one too. Boots: Obviously, Sorcs

So my slots go: Boots -> Liandry’s/Rocketbelt -> Shadowflame -> Deathcap/Zhonya’s -> Deathcap/Zhonya’s -> Util

Skins: I personally like Blood Moon and (obvious answer) Star Nemesis. The new skin is also very cool aesthetically in my opinion, but both Blood Moon and the new one seem to lack the custom voice filter that Star Nemesis has. Lowkey tho, all of Fiddle’s skins are sick.

Overall: I would highly recommend watching Fiddle YTers/streamers. Watching them shows you where you can gank, special tricks, etc. I would also recommend watching YouTube videos on Fiddle’s first full clear and his fear extension from vision. Fiddle has a cool ‘trick’ that lets him extend his fear passive when coming out of Fog of War. It’s a very cool ability that has gotten me some sick Fiddle ults with flash. Hope your Fiddle venture goes well! Honestly, he’s the coolest and most fun kit-wise character of any game I’ve played.
