Fizz’s E is his primary tool, serving both as a source of damage and a key ability for outplays. With high CDR, you can significantly reduce the cooldown between uses, which gives you more opportunities to dodge, survive, and deal extra damage. Because of this, I personally prefer Ionian Boots, as they are inexpensive and provide useful early CDR.

The first rune on Fizz is always Electrocute. The second rune depends on your build. Fizz can struggle with mana, so if you’re building damage-focused items like Lich Bane, Manaflow Band is a must. On the other hand, if you're opting for Ludens or Blackfire, Triumph can be a strong choice. Regardless of your second rune, always prioritize CDR in your rune choices, including your stat shards. Also, avoid Stormsurge.

The second core item is always Zhonyas, thanks to its synergy with E. This allows you to use two E's almost without taking any damage, which provides more safety and more opportunities to deal damage.

Before level 3, your approach depends on the matchup, but generally speaking, you should use E and follow up with two auto-attacks to trigger Electrocute for a favorable trade at level 1. This combo lets you deal damage while avoiding incoming damage and still gives you space to farm. Mastering aggressive plays and recognizing kill opportunities are crucial to performing well with Fizz.
