Strategic Tips
Economy
Reach 50 gold, then slow roll at level 5 with only the excess until Illaoi and Twisted Fate are 3-starred.
Itemization
Build Blackmarket Explosives, Zhonya's Paradox, and Edge of Night on Fizz.
When to pivot
Scout at 2-1 and 3-2: if two or more players hold your core units, or you haven't found any by 3-2, move into one of the comps on the Similar Comps tab instead of forcing Bilgewater Fizz.
