Fizz vs Poppy

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Fizz's high early game agency to contest river and Scuttle before Poppy can establish terrain control and anti-dash zones.
Focus on snowballing through early ganks and picks leveraging Fizz's burst and mobility to outmaneuver Poppy's tanky, terrain-dependent control.

Jungle Plan

Use level 3 power spike to invade or counter-invade camps when (W) is on cooldown and terrain angles are unfavorable for her.
Prioritize securing dragon vision and control to leverage Fizz's burst for objective fights before Poppy can use (R) to disrupt.
Track Poppy's pathing to predict gank angles and counter-gank effectively, especially around terrain where she seeks wall stuns.

Danger windows

Avoid fighting near walls when (E) is available to prevent getting stunned and locked down.
Respect (W) anti-dash field timing, especially during early river skirmishes where it can turn fights.
Be cautious contesting objectives when (R) is up, as she can knock Fizz or allies away, resetting fights or stealing smite.

Early game

Start with a fast clear to hit level 3 quickly and unlock Fizz's full combo for stronger skirmishes.
Contest first Scuttle aggressively if nearby lanes have priority to deny Poppy early river control.
Avoid prolonged river fights near walls early to prevent getting locked down by (E) and (W).

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Fizz's full engage combo with (Q), (W), and (E), enabling aggressive counter-jungling and skirmishes.
Level 6 (R) significantly increases Fizz's pick potential; use this to force fights or secure kills before Poppy can disengage with her own (R).
First completed AP assassin item boosts Fizz's burst, allowing safer invades and more reliable objective control against Poppy's durability.

Win conditions

Use superior mobility and burst to invade and steal camps when Poppy is committed to ganks or fighting near walls.
Secure early dragon control by leveraging Fizz's pick potential and denying Poppy's ability to disengage with (R).
Translate early kills and tempo into vision control around river and objectives to limit Poppy's impact and snowball leads through roams and picks.
