Ahri vs Fizz

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ahri's ranged poke and high mobility to deny Fizz a safe melee farming phase and control lane pressure.
Manage wave tempo actively to prevent giving Fizz easy all-in windows around his level 6 spike.
This is a roam-focused matchup where Ahri must leverage early agency to snowball through picks and map pressure.

Trading pattern

Poke with (Q) and (W) to pressure Fizz, then hold (E) to punish his commitment or wasted (E) cooldown.
Avoid trading when (E) is available, as he can dodge key abilities and counter-engage.
Only extend trades if (R) is up to reposition or disengage safely after landing (E).

Danger windows

After level 3, Fizz's burst combo becomes dangerous; use (E) defensively to mitigate his engage.
When (R) is down, Ahri is vulnerable to Fizz's all-ins; play cautiously and avoid overcommitting.
If Fizz uses (E) recklessly, punish aggressively but remain aware of his ultimate threat.

Early game

Step up aggressively for short trades before level 3 to punish Fizz's weak early trades and limited mobility.
Use (Q) and (W) to poke and chip Fizz while holding (E) to punish his forward dashes or reckless engages.
Avoid extended fights before (R) is available by respecting (E) dodge and engage tool.

Power spikes

Ahri's level 3 unlocks full basic abilities, enhancing short trade threat; use this to increase poke pressure.
Level 6 (R) grants high mobility to dodge Fizz's burst and extend picks; track (R) availability for all-ins or roams.
Respect Fizz's level 6 (R) as a lethal all-in threat; avoid overextending when it's up.

Win conditions

Land (E) to pick off Fizz after he wastes mobility or defensive cooldowns to snowball lane control.
Control the wave to deny Fizz safe farming and create roam opportunities post-level 6.
Use (R) to dodge Fizz's all-in attempts and reposition for picks or safe escapes, enabling map impact.
