the Tidal Trickster
Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (2,652 games).
Fizz, the Tidal Trickster, vaults onto his trident with Playful / Trickster and cannot be targeted while he is up there, and Chum the Waters hooks a champion for the shark. In the Master+ count he is a mid laner first and a jungler now and then, Electrocute is his usual keystone, and Lich Bane is the first item in his two leading paths.

Deny the reset — it wants a kill to come back out; a warded exit removes it
Avoid extended fights — its sustain grows with every trade it survives
Punish the cooldown — Fizz is exposed while its rotation is down
Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one
Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 6/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Fizz in 4 patches. The latest is patch 26.4, published 2026-02-18.
WSeastone Trident
Fizz jungle made a splash in our big jungle patch last season, but his pick rate quickly dwindled. We know he'll need more than just clear speed to stay afloat, though this change will help us test the waters before making any changes that affect him in both mid and jungle, and hopefully helps some of his new builds with W max and/or Dusk & Dawn thrive.
Base Stats
PNimble Fighter
WSeastone Trident
RChum the Waters
While Fizz wins an appropriate number of games in mid lane, he's incredibly feast-or-famine and often relies on simply leaving his lane to go kill other champions, so we'd like to make him more robust in playing out his laning phase. In order to do that, we're improving his early resilience so that he can take more trades and compensate elsewhere to make him a little less ult-reliant. We're also taking a swing at enabling jungle Fizz. We think this new role is a bit of a stretch and may not pan out in the end, but we're swinging hard to get his first jungle clear into something comfortable and seeing if players will enjoy him here.
WSeastone Trident
RChum the Waters
Fizz is a little weak right now (some might say he's floundering) and is incredibly reliant on snowballing, as his base damages are appropriate in the early game but generally don't scale well without gold. We're looking to make some power-positive adjustments to make him less reliant on snowballing while still asking him to build primarily AP assassin items. As a whole, these changes should be positive for his up-front W burst damage, make his ultimate a bit weaker, and open up a few new item choices.
WSeastone Trident
EPlayful / Trickster
Fizz has been underwater for a while as a mid lane threat, despite the fact he should be doing well as some of his best matchups are currently quite popular. We're looking to add some power to reel him back into relevance this patch by giving his W more uptime come late game and more damage on his E in all cases.
Riot's data lists 14 looks for Fizz with their own art, the base skin included and 30 chroma variants.

Riot Data Dragon 16.20.1. Growth curve: League of Legends Wiki — Champion statistic.
Fizz, the Tidal Trickster, is a Assassin and Fighter champion in League of Legends. Riot rates the kit 6/10 for difficulty, 6/10 for attack, 4/10 for defense and 7/10 for magic. Fizz spends Mana and has 14 skins with their own art.
Fizz is an amphibious yordle, who dwells among the reefs surrounding Bilgewater. He often retrieves and returns the tithes cast into the sea by superstitious captains, but even the saltiest of sailors know better than to cross him—for many are the tales of those who have underestimated this slippery character. Often mistaken for some manner of capricious ocean spirit, he seems able to command the beasts of the deep, and delights in confounding his allies and enemies alike.
