View detailed statistics below: items, runes, and counter builds for Ahri Mid vs Fizz Mid in patch 15.18 (25.18), including win rates and pick rates. With proper study, this can improve your chances of victory up to 56.5% in this matchup.

Statistical Matchup Analysis

Ahri dominates the meta (2nd most popular, 8.0% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Fizz (3.7% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of mid lane's current powerhouses. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Summon Aery + Manaflow Band combination (52.9% win rate) plus optimal itemization Blackfire Torch, Cosmic Drive, Liandry's Torment, and Sorcerer's Shoes boosts your chances from 46.3% to 56.5% - potentially game-changing.

Survive and scale: Ahri faces both matchup (46.31%) and farming disadvantages (6.04 vs 6.50/min). With a 0.46 CS/min deficit, prioritize safe farming and jungle assistance. Damage doesn't equal wins: Ahri outputs more damage (839 vs 694/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Strong individual performance: Ahri maintains better KDA (2.50, 14th place vs 29th for Fizz), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

How to Beat Fizz as Ahri (Mid)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

The magic damage that Ahri deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Fizz deals primarily magic damage (77.99%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Fizz, ranking 33rd (versus 47th for Ahri) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Ahri Mid versus Fizz Mid matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Ahri player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Fizz player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Ahri tips:

  • Use Charm to set up your combos, it will make landing Orb of Deception and Fox-Fire dramatically easier.
  • Initiate team fights using Charm, and chase down stragglers with Spirit Rush.
  • Spirit Rush enables Ahri's abilities, it opens up paths for Charm, helps double hitting with Orb of Deception, and closes to make use of Fox-Fire.

Playing Against Fizz

  • Fizz's attacks becomes more deadly for a few seconds after he uses his empowered attack - keep him away while his trident is glowing!
  • Fizz is a slippery target when his abilities are not on cooldown - bait him into using them early and follow up with crowd control or hard-hitting attacks!
