Fizz vs Zilean

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use level 3 and 6 windows to burst Zilean before he can react or use (R).
Avoid extended trades since Zilean controls distance with (E) and bomb zones.
Prioritize short trades and all-ins over poke or wave control against Zilean.

Trading pattern

Engage with (Q) and (W) then use (E) to dodge Zilean's double bomb stun.
Punish Zilean immediately after he wastes (Q) or (E) speed to force cooldowns.
Avoid standing in minion waves where Zilean can land double bombs for stun.

Danger windows

Respect Zilean's double (Q) stun window; avoid overextending when bombs are set.
Beware of (R) revive on Zilean's side; hold burst damage until it's down.
Avoid trading when Zilean uses (E) speed to kite or disengage effectively.

Early game

Give up early minions to avoid Zilean's double (Q) stun before level 3.
Avoid stepping up pre-3 to prevent getting punished by his early poke and slows.
Track (Q) cooldown to safely approach for trades after he misses bombs.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full trade combo; use it to force Zilean off the wave.
Level 6 (R) grants kill threat; coordinate all-ins when it's available.
First AP assassin item boosts burst; increase pressure and punish Zilean's cooldowns then.

Win conditions

Use level 3 and 6 power spikes to secure kills or force Zilean out of lane.
Roam after pushing wave post-level 6 to snowball other lanes.
Punish Zilean's cooldowns by crashing waves and forcing him to miss farm or recall.

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