How to beat Fiora

Common role: Top

A dueling machine who parries your key spell and true-damages tanks to death.

What makes Fiora dangerous

Fiora's passive marks four vitals around your body that she dashes to for true damage and healing; her ultimate spawns them on demand for a burst-and-heal execute. Her W parries and stuns during any incoming CC or damage window. She is the premier 1v1 duelist and shreds any single target regardless of armor.

How to play against Fiora

• 1Bait her W parry before you commit CC or your big ability — if she parries it, she stuns you and wins the trade. Wait out her W (long cooldown), then engage.
• 2Deny her vitals: she must dash to the marks around your body. Fight with your back to a wall so she can't reach the vitals behind you.
• 3Her true damage ignores armor — don't try to out-tank her 1v1. Kite her, peel her off your carry, or bring her into a group fight where she can't isolate.
• 4Answer her split-push with numbers, not a solo duel — she wins almost every 1v1 in a side lane.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Squishy — burst and hard CC (chained past her W) delete her.
• ✓W parry is on a long cooldown; punish when it's down.
• ✓Weak if she can't reach your vitals (fight near walls).
• ✓Struggles against ranged pokes and disengage comps.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Fiora's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Baile de duelista

  Fiora ha revelado un punto vital de este campeón. Si golpea este punto vital, restaura vida y obtiene velocidad de movimiento.

  Strong: vitals around your body deal true damage and heal her, ignoring armor. Weak: fight with your back to a wall so she can't reach the vitals behind you.

• Q
  Embestida

  Fiora se abalanza hacia un punto y apuñala a un enemigo cercano, al que causa daño físico y aplica efectos de impacto.

• W
  Réplica

  Fiora bloquea todo el daño y las inhabilitaciones durante breve tiempo y luego golpea en una dirección. La estocada ralentiza al primer campeón enemigo alcanzado, o lo aturde si Fiora bloqueó un efecto de inmovilización con la habilidad.

  Strong: parries and stuns during any incoming CC or big ability. Weak: a long cooldown — bait it out, then commit your CC/combo while it's down.

• E
  Esgrima

  Fiora cuenta con velocidad de ataque adicional durante dos ataques. El primero ralentiza al objetivo y el segundo asesta un golpe crítico.

• R
  Duelo excelso

  Fiora localiza los cuatro puntos vitales de un campeón enemigo y obtiene velocidad de movimiento mientras está cerca de ellos. Si lo alcanza en los cuatro puntos vitales o el objetivo muere después de que haya alcanzado al menos uno, Fiora y sus aliados de la zona reciben curación durante los siguientes segundos.

  Strong: spawns all four vitals for a burst-and-heal execute. Weak: still needs to hit them — kite her or bring her into a group where she can't isolate.

Itemization

Fiora deals AD plus percent-health true damage, so armor alone won't save you — kite her, chain CC past her W parry, and use Grievous Wounds against her healing. Ranged champions should abuse her before item spikes.
