Guide to Countering Leona as Fizz
Tips for Playing as Fizz against Leona
Fizz's spells scale off Ability Power - consider getting items like Zhonya's Hourglass or Banshee's Veil against teams that have high burst threat - and items like Lich Bane or Rabadon's Deathcap if you think you can survive without the Health.
Since Fizz can move through units, find opportunities in lane to walk through minions and apply Seastone Trident's passive - following it up with the ability's active attack after a few seconds.
Fizz's ultimate ability, Chum the Waters, can be aimed at an enemy or towards the area where you think they'll be going.
Advice to Win Against Leona
When Leona activates Eclipse, you have three seconds to get away from her before she deals damage.
Only foes in the center of Solar Flare get stunned, so you can often avoid this if you're quick.
