How to play as Fizz

Avoid taking repeated rock poke before level 3; once Taliyah spends Seismic Shove(W), look for a short trade, and don't dash through her Unraveled Earth(E) with Q.

Unraveled Earth(E) stuns enemies who dash through its mines, so it can punish Fizz's Urchin Strike(Q); Fizz's untargetable Playful/Trickster(E) avoids the minefield while the hop is active.

Taliyah has ranged poke before level 3, while Fizz becomes a more dangerous all-in threat if he reaches levels 3-4 with enough health to keep engaging.

How to play as Taliyah

Poke Fizz early before he reaches levels 3-4, then hold Unraveled Earth(E) for his Urchin Strike(Q); don't expect the minefield to stop his untargetable jump.
