Jarvan IV vs Fizz

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Jarvan IV's high early game pressure and gank threat to force Fizz's lanes to burn summoners before he can scale.
Prioritize objective control by leveraging Jarvan IV's strong engage and lockdown to secure dragons and Rift Heralds early.

Jungle Plan

Path to lanes with setup and track enemy flash cooldowns to repeat ganks and snowball lanes before Fizz can impact the map.
Use early gank tempo to secure first dragon or Rift Herald instead of full clears to maintain map pressure.
Trap Fizz with (R) during objective fights to deny smite and force committed team engagements.

Danger windows

Avoid invading or fighting when (E)+(Q) is on cooldown, as Jarvan IV's engage and escape are significantly weaker.
Respect Fizz's level 6 (R) window, which enables burst all-ins and pick potential.
Be cautious contesting objectives if nearby lanes lack priority, increasing risk of counter-invades or ambushes.

Early game

Start with a path that enables level 3 gank pressure on lanes with crowd control or immobile carries to force early flashes.
Contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to deny Fizz vision and river control.
Avoid isolated duels with Fizz if (E)+(Q) is down; instead, focus on counter-ganks and objective setups.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use (E)+(Q) to engage and force early flashes or kills before Fizz completes his trade combo.
Level 6: Leverage (R) to lockdown Fizz or trap him during objective fights, increasing kill and objective control potential.
After first tank or fighter item: Use increased frontline presence to initiate fights and protect carries against Fizz's burst.

Win conditions

Convert early gank pressure into lane leads and force Fizz's lanes to burn summoners or lose farm.
Use (R) to trap Fizz during dragon or Rift Herald fights, denying his smite and securing objectives.
Maintain river control and track Fizz's pathing to counter-jungle safely and deny his scaling opportunities.
