How to Beat Fizz as Zoe (Mid)

While statistically Zoe is slightly stronger than Fizz in the mid lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Zoe deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Fizz deals primarily magic damage (77.13%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Zoe is higher farming statistics (ranked 35th among role champions) (versus 45th for Fizz), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 2.6) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Zoe Mid versus Fizz Mid matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Zoe player to maintain constant pressure on Fizz, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Zoe tips:

  • Paddle Star deals more damage the further it has flown. Casting it behind yourself before redirecting can deal tons of damage.
  • Break Sleep with your biggest damage source, since enemies who are asleep take double damage.
  • Sleepy Trouble Bubble travels further over walls. Find a hiding spot to set up for a long distance kill.

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!
