LORE OF FIZZ

In ages past, the oceans of Runeterra were home to civilizations far older than those of the land. In the depths of what is now the Guardian’s Sea, a great city once stood—it was here that the yordle Fizz made his home. He lived alongside the artisans and warriors of that proud, noble race. Even though he was not one of them, they treated him as an equal, and his playful nature and tall tales of adventures in the open sea made him welcome at any gathering.

But the world was changing. The oceans were growing warmer, emboldening fierce predators to rise up from the deepest trenches. Other settlements had fallen silent, but the rulers of the great city could still not agree on how to deal with the threat. Fizz pledged to roam the seas in search of survivors, or anyone who knew what had happened.

Then, one dark day, the gigalodons came.

These huge dragon-sharks stunned their prey with fell shrieking, and the avenues of the great city were soon clouded red. Thousands died in a matter of hours, the immense bulk of their killers crushing towers and temples in a monstrous feeding frenzy. Scenting blood in the water, Fizz raced back, determined to join the fight and save the city.

He was too late. There was nothing left of the city to save. When the debris finally settled, not a single living creature remained, nor any stone upon another, and the ravenous shoal had moved on. Alone in the cold depths, Fizz sank into mournful despair. As his yordle magic began to fade, he let himself be carried by the currents, drifting in a catatonic torpor, dreaming away the millennia…

It was only chance that reawakened him. A handful of copper coins fell from above, scattered to the seabed in the wake of a huge, wooden fish that swam upon the surface. This was no gigalodon, but Fizz was alarmed nonetheless—he knew little of the world overhead, but surely no fish could survive up there? He ventured up and peered into the salty air for the first time.

There were people, people who lived outside of the water and sailed in wooden fish of all sizes. Fizz found the thought both frightening and exciting, but the curious gifts they cast into the water made it clear that they wanted to be his friends. In time, following their movements to and fro across the oceans, he came to the port city of Bilgewater.

To the inhabitants of that lawless place, this strange and slippery creature quickly became something of a legend—the Tidal Trickster, a spirit of the ocean itself. It is said that he can summon great beasts to do his bidding, hole a ship’s hull with his stone trident, and breathe air or water as it suits him. Many a misbehaving child has been warned on a moonless night: “Go quickly to sleep, or the Trickster will come and feed you to the fishes…”

Fizz is good-natured, but mischievous even for a yordle, and delights in confounding the people of Bilgewater. The most seasoned fishermen know, just as the ocean may rise and fall, the Tidal Trickster is as likely to lead them into windless doldrums as to an easy catch that would fill their nets. Even so, Fizz does not take kindly to the greedy or selfish, and more than one haughty sea captain hoping to make a quick pile of silver has found that her mysterious guide has led her crew not to safety, but to shipwreck.

FUN FACTS ABOUT FIZZ

1. Voice Actor: Fizz is voiced by Todd Haberkorn, a prolific voice actor known for his work in anime, video games, and animated series. Some of his other notable roles include Natsu Dragneel in "Fairy Tail" and Ling Yao in "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood."

2. Inspirations for Design: Fizz's design was inspired by various aquatic creatures, including fish, frogs, and even sharks. His playful and mischievous personality reflects these inspirations, as he's often depicted as a trickster who enjoys causing chaos in battle.

3. Unique Resource System: Fizz is one of the few champions in League of Legends who doesn't use mana as a resource. Instead, he relies on his own unique resource system called "Fizz's Trickster," which represents his playful and unpredictable nature. This resource is represented by a bar beneath his health bar and is consumed by casting abilities. It replenishes over time and with basic attacks.

4. Early Design Struggles: Fizz's development went through several iterations before his final design was settled upon. Initially, he was envisioned as a female mermaid-like champion named "Fizzl," but the concept was ultimately scrapped in favor of the more playful and agile male yordle we know today.

5. Cultural References in Skins: Some of Fizz's skins contain cultural references and nods to popular media. For example, his "Super Galaxy Fizz" skin is a reference to the "Super Sentai" and "Power Rangers" series, featuring Fizz as a futuristic hero piloting a mecha. Additionally, his "Void Fizz" skin draws inspiration from Lovecraftian horror, with Fizz's appearance and abilities reflecting the dark and mysterious Void.

RUNES OF FIZZ

TIPS ON HOW TO PLAY WITH FIZZ

1. Master Fizz's Trading Patterns: Fizz excels at short trades and all-ins thanks to his burst damage and mobility. Utilize Fizz's abilities to poke and harass opponents while avoiding extended trades where his lack of sustained damage becomes a disadvantage. Look for opportunities to engage with Urchin Strike (Q), trigger Seastone Trident (W) for bonus damage, and disengage with Playful/Trickster (E) to avoid retaliation.

2. Manage Fizz's Mana Pool: Fizz's early-game mana costs can be punishing if not managed properly. Avoid spamming abilities unnecessarily and focus on using them efficiently to maximize your damage output without running out of mana. Consider purchasing mana regeneration items or taking runes like Presence of Mind to sustain your mana pool during laning phase and skirmishes.

3. Roam and Assist Your Teammates: Fizz's mobility and burst damage make him a potent roamer. Look for opportunities to roam to other lanes, especially when your ultimate, Chum the Waters (R), is available. Coordinate with your jungler or support to set up ganks or skirmishes in other lanes, helping your teammates secure kills and objectives to gain a lead.

4. Master Playful/Trickster (E) Usage: Playful/Trickster is Fizz's key defensive and mobility tool, allowing him to dodge enemy abilities and reposition in fights. Mastering the timing and placement of Trickster is essential for outplaying opponents and surviving dangerous situations. Use it to dodge crucial skillshots, escape ganks, or engage aggressively when the opportunity arises.

5. Know When to Engage and When to Disengage: Fizz thrives on picking off isolated targets or diving into teamfights to assassinate high-priority squishy targets. However, it's crucial to assess the situation and recognize when it's safe to engage and when it's better to wait for a more opportune moment. Avoid overcommitting to risky plays and prioritize staying alive to continue providing pressure and damage in fights.

TIPS FOR COUNTERING EZREAL

1. Poke and Harass Early: Fizz's laning phase can be weak, especially against champions with long-range poke or harass abilities. Use ranged champions or those with strong early-game poke to harass Fizz and zone him away from minions. Denying him farm and experience can delay his power spikes and weaken his impact in the mid-game.

2.Exploit His Weaknesses Pre-6: Fizz's kill pressure significantly increases once he reaches level 6 and unlocks his ultimate, Chum the Waters. Prior to level 6, Fizz lacks reliable burst damage and crowd control, making him vulnerable to all-ins and extended trades. Capitalize on this window of opportunity to harass him and gain a lead before he becomes a significant threat.

3. Build Magic Resistance: Fizz deals primarily magic damage, especially with his abilities like Seastone Trident (W) and Chum the Waters (R). Building magic resistance items such as Mercury's Treads, Abyssal Mask, or Banshee's Veil can mitigate his burst damage and make him less threatening in fights. Additionally, consider taking magic resistance runes or purchasing early Null-Magic Mantle to bolster your defenses against Fizz.

4. Watch for His Engage: Fizz's engage combo typically involves using his Urchin Strike (Q) to dash towards his target, followed by activating Seastone Trident (W) and Playful/Trickster (E) to deal damage and avoid retaliation. Be mindful of Fizz's positioning and cooldowns, especially his Playful/Trickster (E), as it's his primary defensive tool. Punish him when it's on cooldown or when he misuses it.

5. Coordinate Ganks and Crowd Control: Fizz is susceptible to ganks, especially early in the game when he lacks mobility and defensive items. Coordinate with your jungler or support to gank Fizz's lane and apply crowd control effects to lock him down. Fizz's lack of reliable escapes makes him an easy target for coordinated ganks, allowing you to shut him down and set him behind.
