Fizz vs Taliyah

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Fizz's high early agency to pressure Taliyah's medium early jungle presence and contest river control.
Prioritize invading or counter-invading when Taliyah pathes through choke points to exploit her medium invade resistance.

Jungle Plan

Invade Taliyah early when she is on predictable camps and collapse with nearby lanes to punish her medium invade resistance.
Prioritize river control and Scuttle vision to enable safer ganks and counter-ganks around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use your burst and mobility to force Taliyah to waste (W) and (E) before committing to fights or objectives.

Danger windows

Beware of Taliyah's early (W)+(E) combo in narrow jungle paths or river chokes, which can punish your dashes.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Taliyah's displacement and zoning abilities are up and your cooldowns are limited.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Taliyah has lane priority and can use (R) to create numbers advantages or cut off escape routes.

Early game

Start with a fast clear path to reach level 3 before Taliyah and unlock your full combo for trades.
Contest first Scuttle Crab aggressively if nearby lanes have priority to deny Taliyah river vision and map control.
Avoid extended fights early if Taliyah holds (W) and (E), instead look for picks when these cooldowns are down.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full (Q)+(W)+(E) combo, enabling strong burst trades and early all-ins; punish Taliyah before she can respond.
Level 6 grants your ultimate, increasing kill threat and pick potential; track (R) to avoid counterplays and secure kills or roams.
First completed AP assassin item significantly boosts your damage and kill pressure; increase aggression and objective control after this point.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle pressure and successful invades into dragon and Rift Herald control by securing vision and denying Taliyah's access.
Use your level 6 all-in burst to pick off Taliyah or overextended laners, snowballing leads into objective pressure.
Maintain river control and track Taliyah's movements to counter-gank effectively and deny her scaling through contested camps and vision dominance.
