Placing a Living Shadow before using Death Mark can give Zed a safe escape from combat.
Saving energy and spell cooldowns until you use your ultimate will maximize Death Mark's damage.
Quickly double tapping Living Shadow will teleport Zed to his shadow immediately for rapid escapes.
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.
The Zed Fizz synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Fizz, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Zed sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Fizz. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Fizz helps Zed perform not as well in competitive League games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Zed is paired with Fizz, he observes a barely noticable drop in his total damage output. This difference may signal that Fizz does not help protection for him to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played together with Fizz on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Fizz.
Additionally, when Zed plays with Fizz on the same side, he usually takes much more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Fizz does a poor job of protecting Zed during teamfights.
There is no universally accepted best synergy for Zed that will no matter what be his ideal ally. However, Fizz is a very typical ally for Zed. By locking into the same team as Zed, he decreases their win rate by -0.8% to 47.6%. This shows that there is only a small bond between Zed and Fizz that results in them performing worse together than alone.
Fizz has a lower difficulty than Zed. That means Zed players don't need to be cautious when finding Fizz teammates to play with, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to play well with you.
Playing on the same side, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. When paired, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Conversely, by aligning Zed and Fizz together, you probably will not be providing your other allies very much support. Make sure to include other champs on your team that offsets this disparity in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of the ability of your Fizz ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
