Fiddlesticks is a ranged champion in League of Legends. This means that Fiddlesticks performs its basic attacks from a distance, rather than needing to be directly next to its target.
With an attack range of 480 units, Fiddlesticks can strike enemies from a comfortable distance. This characteristic is a fundamental aspect of its gameplay, influencing how it positions itself in team fights, clears jungle camps, and interacts with opponents in lanes.
To illustrate the distinction between ranged and melee champions, consider the following comparison of basic attack ranges:
Champion | Attack Range (Units) | Range Type |
---|---|---|
Fiddlesticks | 480 | Ranged |
Fiora | 150 | Melee |
Fizz | 175 | Melee |
As the table shows, Fiddlesticks' 480 unit range allows it to maintain significant distance from its adversaries compared to melee champions like Fiora or Fizz, who have much shorter attack ranges and must engage in close quarters.
