5 Best Champions to Pair with the Fiddlesticks Rework

With League of Legends Patch 10.7 going live earlier today, here are the five best champions to pair with the Fiddlesticks rework to help your team snowball early in the game and dominate late game team fights.

5 Best Champions to Pair with the Fiddlesticks Rework

1. Galio

Galio has always paired well with Fiddlesticks in League of Legends, but with the rework giving Fiddlesticks even more power on Patch 10.7 and the buffs to Galio's Hero's Entrance (R), the dynamic duo will be even more lethal. Fiddlesticks has the power to engage on the entire enemy team from outside the vision range of the enemy team, usually from over a wall with Crowstorm (R) and fear up to all five enemies with the passive from Terrify (Q).

Galio has the ability to follow up and protect Fiddlesticks with Hero's Entrance while chaining the crowd control with the taunt from Shield of Durand (W) and Justice Punch (E). This combo can leave the enemy team crowd controlled for over 4 seconds, giving your team plenty of time to follow up on the engage and eliminate the main carries on the enemy team. In short, Fiddlesticks and Galio look to be the scariest combo on Patch 10.7.

2. Kennen

The synergy between Kennen and Fiddlesticks comes from the Fiddlesticks landing Crowstorm and the passive fear from Terrify onto multiple members of the enemy team. With that kind of set-up, Kennen and can easily follow up with Slicing Maelstrom (R) and Electrical Surge (W) to absolutely decimate the health bars of the enemy carries and stun all enemies with three stacks of Mark of the Storm (Passive) for another 1.25 seconds on top of the fear from Terrify.

3. Wukong

Who would have thought that two latest reworks would have such great synergy? Well, turns out that the Monkey King has great follow up on Fiddlesticks engage. Wukong starts by using Nimbus Strike (E) followed by Warrior Trickster (W) to get on top of all the members caught by Fiddlesticks' Terrify and Crowstorm.

Wukong can then chain the crowd control using both casts of Cyclone (R) with his clone to knock-up members of the enemy team, shred their armor, and do insane amounts of damage on the enemy carries with Crushing Blow (Q). While Wukong did receive a few nerfs on Patch 10.7, the changes mostly effected his late game armor from Stone Skin (Passive) and did not effect the damage he can output in a team fight.

4. Katarina

Katarina is another champion that has a lot of build in synergy with Fiddlesticks' form of engage. Katarina can use Shunpo (E) and Bouncing Blade (Q) to quickly follow up on Crowstorm and land a multi-man Death Lotus (R) that can apply Grievous Wounds to the entirety of the enemy team and decimate the enemy's health bars. She can the follow up with Preparation (W) and Shunpo (E) onto an enemy carry to eliminate them from the fight and ensure her team ends up on top.

5. Zac

Where Fiddlesticks and Zac synergize the most is in their engage from the enemy team's blind spots. With Elastic Slingshot (E), Zac can engage from over walls or even from deep in the enemy's jungle, catching the opposing team entirely off guard. He can also follow up that engage with Stretching Strikes (Q) and Let's Bounce! (R) to keep the carries crowd controlled for even longer.

This type of engage gives Fiddlesticks just enough time to follow up with Crowstorm and Terrify and absolutely decimate any members of the enemy team unfortunate enough to not have Quick Silver Sash or Cleanse.
