Taliyah vs Fizz

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Taliyah's faster clear speed to hit level 3 before Fizz and secure early river control around chokepoints.
Leverage (W) and (E) to punish Fizz's engage attempts in narrow jungle paths and deny his burst windows.
Focus on mid-game map pressure with (R) roams to counter Fizz's high mobility and level 6 all-in threat.

Jungle Plan

Maintain worked ground while clearing camps to maximize clear speed and enable early river presence.
Fight for river control and Scuttle Crab when lanes have priority, using (W) and (E) to trap Fizz in jungle chokepoints.
Use (R) to create numbers advantages around Dragon or Rift Herald when lanes hold priority and (R) is available.

Danger windows

Avoid fighting when (E) is available, as he can dodge key abilities and burst down Taliyah in narrow jungle paths.
Be cautious contesting river or objectives when low on health or without vision, as Fizz can capitalize on isolated skirmishes.
Respect Fizz's level 6 (R) window by holding key defensive tools and avoiding overextensions without backup.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear preserving worked ground for efficient movement and early gank potential.
Contest first Scuttle Crab only when allied lanes have priority to avoid risky 1v1s against Fizz's burst combo.
Avoid fighting or invading before level 3 when Fizz unlocks his full engage pattern; instead, prioritize river vision and counter-gank setups.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Taliyah's full (Q)-(W)-(E) combo, enabling punishes on Fizz's forward movement or reckless (E) use.
First completed mage item improves wave control and poke, increasing pressure to deny Fizz safe farming and force mistakes.
Level 6 (R) grants superior map presence to counter Fizz's roaming and burst threat with cross-map plays.

Win conditions

Convert early clear tempo and river control into securing first Scuttle and Dragon vision to limit Fizz's roaming impact.
Use (W) and (E) to trap Fizz in jungle chokepoints during counter-jungling or objective fights, denying his mobility advantage.
Leverage (R) for cross-map pressure to assist lanes, secure Rift Herald, and force Fizz into defensive postures before his burst window.
