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
  Danse de la duelliste

  Fiora a révélé un des points faibles de ce champion. Si elle frappe ce point faible, elle récupère des PV et gagne de la vitesse de déplacement.

  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
  Fente

  Fiora se fend dans une direction et frappe un ennemi proche, infligeant des dégâts physiques et appliquant ses effets à l'impact.

• W
  Riposte

  Fiora pare tous les dégâts et toutes les entraves qui la ciblent pendant un court instant, après quoi elle donne un coup d'estoc dans une direction. Ce coup d'estoc ralentit le premier champion ennemi touché. Si Fiora a paré un effet immobilisant, elle étourdit le premier champion ennemi touché.

  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
  Botte secrète

  Fiora augmente sa vitesse d'attaque pour ses deux prochaines attaques. La première attaque ralentit la cible et la seconde inflige un coup critique.

• R
  Défi suprême

  Fiora révèle les quatre points faibles d'un champion ennemi et augmente sa vitesse de déplacement à proximité de ce champion. Si Fiora frappe les quatre points faibles ou si l'adversaire meurt après qu'elle en a frappé au moins un, Fiora et ses alliés dans la zone sont soignés pendant quelques secondes.

  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.
