Playing Against Fiora
TopPatch 16.2.1
What They Do
The ultimate 1v1 duelist who scales into a true damage monster. She uses to shred tanks, to flip engagements, and to provide massive team-wide healing while melting a single target.
Abilities (What to Watch For)
| Ability | What You'll See | What It Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| A glowing arc appearing on one of the four sides of your champion. | Fiora deals max HP true damage and heals if she hits this side. If a vital is facing her, walk away until it disappears to reset it to a safer side. | |
| A short-range dash with a quick rapier stab. | Her primary mobility and poke tool. It triggers and applies on-hit effects. If she misses every target, the cooldown is significantly longer. | |
| Fiora enters a defensive stance for 0.75s, then stabs forward. | She is INVULNERABLE to all damage and CC during the stance. If she parries a hard CC (stun/root), her return stab will STUN you. Otherwise, it just slows. | |
| Her sword glows blue/gold for the next two attacks. | The first hit slows you, and the second hit is a guaranteed critical strike. She uses this for fast trades and taking towers. | |
| Four vitals appear simultaneously around your champion. | Fiora gains movement speed near you. If she hits all four vitals or you die after she hits one, a massive healing zone is created for her and her allies. |
Respect
- !(Riposte) Stun→If you use your main CC ability while her parry is up, she will stun you for 2 seconds and likely win the trade or kill you instantly.
- !Front-facing Vitals→If the vital is facing her, she can onto you for free true damage, healing, and a movement speed burst to walk away safely.
- !The Heal Zone→The heal from Grand Challenge is massive. Even if she is low, completing the vitals can restore her entire health bar and save her team.
- !Level 6 Power Spike→Once she has , her kill pressure skyrockets. She can 100-0 most champions if she procs the vitals quickly.
Punish
- +is on cooldown (24-16s)→This is your primary window. Without her parry, she has no way to block your burst or CC. All-in her immediately.
- +Missed →If she lunges and hits nothing, the cooldown is not reduced. Use this 10+ second window to punish her for being immobile.
- +Low Mana (Early Game)→Fiora's early mana costs are high. If she is forced to use to last hit under tower, she won't have the mana to sustain a long trade.
- +second hit wasted→If she uses the second strike of on a minion, her burst potential drops significantly. This is a safe time to trade.
Laning Tips
- •Reset bad vitals by walking back until the indicator disappears, then re-enter the range to get a side or back vital.
- •Hug a wall when she uses to physically prevent her from hitting the final vital located on that side.
- •Bait by walking at her aggressively or using an emote. Do not use your CC until you see the parry animation end.
- •Rush Bramble Vest or Executioner's Calling. Greivous Wounds is mandatory to stop her and sustain.
- •Stand near your caster minions; if she uses to poke you, she will take heavy minion aggro early in the game.
- •Plated Steelcaps are highly effective against her as they reduce damage from both and the critical strike.
Teamfight Warning
- ⚠Don't let her finish on a low-health target; the healing zone can win the fight for her entire team.
- ⚠Watch for the flank. Fiora wants to dive the backline to quickly proc on a squishy carry.
- ⚠Keep your CC until AFTER she uses . If multiple people throw CC at her at once, she will likely stun one of you.
- ⚠Do not stand in a straight line when her is up, as the slow/stun travels through all targets hit.
- ⚠If she is split-pushing, don't send a tank alone. Her deals % max health true damage, making tanks her easiest targets.
