Skarner vs Fizz

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Skarner excels at controlling terrain and using (E) to lock down targets, so prioritize jungle paths that lead to wall-heavy gank lanes.
Focus on securing river control and vision before major objectives to leverage your high objective control and suppression in fights.
This matchup is a scaling control game where Skarner uses tankiness and utility to dominate late grouped fights against Fizz's burst.

Jungle Plan

Path camps toward lanes with walls to maximize (E) gank setups and punish Fizz's melee approach.
Contest Scuttle crab only when allied lanes have priority to avoid risky isolated river fights against Fizz's burst potential.
Prioritize vision and control around dragon and Rift Herald to leverage your frontline and suppression for objective setups and deny Fizz safe access.

Danger windows

Be cautious contesting river Scuttle or objectives early if Fizz's lanes have priority, as isolated fights favor his burst and mobility.
Avoid low-health clears near enemy jungle entrances where Fizz can capitalize on your reduced durability.
Respect Fizz's level 6 (R) window when he can all-in with knockup and burst, especially if your key defensive cooldowns are down.

Early game

Start with a reliable full clear to reach early river control and contest the first Scuttle crab when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early direct invades against Fizz unless you have strong lane priority or numbers advantage due to his high early burst and mobility.
Use your (E) wall pin to punish Fizz if he overextends during his early jungle pathing or ganks before level 6.

Power spikes

At level 6, Skarner's (R) suppression becomes a key tool to isolate and lock down Fizz before he can use (E) to escape.
Skarner's high scaling tank utility peaks in mid to late game, enabling frontline control and objective denial against Fizz's burst.
Respect Fizz's level 3 power spike when he unlocks his full combo; avoid fights unless you have clear positional advantage or cooldowns.

Win conditions

Convert terrain control and successful (E)+(R) ganks into securing dragon and Rift Herald with your team.
Use your tank frontline and suppression to enable teammates to safely contest objectives and deny Fizz's roaming impact.
Deny Fizz free farm and scaling by counter-jungling when lanes have priority and punishing his overextensions with your crowd control.
