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.
Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.
Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.
You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.
The Fizz Zilean synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Zilean, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Fizz sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zilean. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Zilean helps Fizz perform worse in ranked League rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Fizz plays on the same team as Zilean, he observes a marginal improvement in his total damage dealt. This may signal that Zilean supports by providing cover for him to dish out more damage or that his support also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Fizz is played with Zilean on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Zilean.
Moreover, when Fizz plays with Zilean on the same team, he usually receives a little more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage could mean that Zilean does a poor job of covering Fizz during team fights.
There is no top ally for Fizz that will no matter what be his ideal synergy. However, Zilean is a not very good companion for Fizz. By playing on the same side as Fizz, he decreases their win rate by -1.6% to 51.0%. This clearly indicates that there is a bad synergy between Fizz and Zilean that results in them performing worse together than alone.
Zilean has a lower difficulty than Fizz. That means Fizz players don't need to be careful when arranging Zilean allies to fight alongside, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.
Fighting cooperatively, Fizz players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. When paired, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.
In contrast, by aligning Fizz and Zilean together, you probably will not be providing your other allies very much sustained damage output. We recommend you include other champs on your team that offsets this hole in their kit.
Regardless of your Zilean ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
