How to play

General
  1. You start with Guardian's Horn. Your #1 rush should be item that counters enemy team most (MR or Armor item). Get Jak'Sho as #2 item. Then adapt.
  2. Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
  3. Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
  4. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
  5. Be careful to not waste Aftershock. Try timing it and keeping it for going in.
Fizz Tank specific
  1. This Fizz Tank plays around built-in Fizz damage from abilities and innate Fizz tankiness. Fizz also has -5% dmg taken, which makes this build more efficient (you are going to take lots of damage).

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. Fizz E Flash Combo: Use E and when you are about to land, use Flash to the place you want. Do not use E second time!
  2. Want to push turrets faster? Your W resets auto, and it also bleeds turrets, so apply DoT to both turrets if possible.
  3. You can use R to disengage or to separate the enemy team. Somebody from the opposite team goes in? Just R into their team to disrupt the fight and slow them down.
Riot
  1. Since Fizz can move through units, find opportunities in lane to walk through minions and apply Seastone Trident's passive - following it up with the ability's active attack after a few seconds.
  2. Fizz's ultimate ability, Chum the Waters, can be aimed at an enemy or towards the area where you think they'll be going.
  3. Fizz's spells scale off Ability Power - consider getting items like Zhonya's Hourglass or Banshee's Veil against teams that have high burst threat - and items like Lich Bane or Rabadon's Deathcap if you think you can survive without the Health.
