Fizz vs Ryze

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use Fizz's early burst and mobility to pressure Ryze before his item spikes.
Deny Ryze safe farming by forcing him to farm under tower and use mana defensively.
Prioritize short trades and level 6 all-ins to capitalize on Ryze's limited range and mana.

Trading pattern

Engage with (Q) to close gap, burst with (W), then use (E) to dodge (W) root or (Q) damage.
Punish Ryze when his (W) is on cooldown or he is low on mana to avoid his spell rotations.
Avoid trading when Ryze has full mana and (W) ready, as he can root and follow up safely.

Danger windows

Before level 3, avoid stepping up as Ryze can punish with (W) root and spell rotations.
Respect Ryze's full mana and (W) cooldown to avoid getting rooted and burst.
Beware of ganks if overextending to punish Ryze's cooldowns; use wave crashes and pings.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 3; focus on dodging Ryze's root with (E).
Use early wave pressure to force Ryze to farm under tower and limit his spell usage.
Give up some minions if needed to avoid (W) root and spell rotations pre-level 3.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Fizz's full combo with (Q), (W), and (E) for effective trades.
Level 6 (R) creates kill threat Ryze must respect, enabling picks or roams.
After first AP assassin item, pressure waves and trades more confidently against Ryze.

Win conditions

Use short trades with (Q), (W), and (E) to burst Ryze when his (W) or mana is down.
Deny Ryze safe scaling by pressuring waves and forcing him to use mana defensively.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to convert kill windows into roams and map pressure.

Tip: For Fizz vs Ryze, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
