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
  Danza del duello

  Fiora ha svelato un Punto vitale su questo campione. Colpendo il Punto vitale, Fiora ripristina salute e ottiene velocità di movimento.

  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
  Attacco repentino

  Fiora si lancia in una direzione e trafigge un nemico nelle vicinanze, infliggendo danni fisici e applicando gli effetti sul colpo.

• W
  Contrattacco

  Fiora para tutti i danni e gli impedimenti per un breve periodo, poi colpisce in una direzione. Il colpo rallenta il primo campione nemico colpito. Se Fiora ha parato tramite l'abilità un effetto immobilizzante, il campione viene stordito.

  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
  Gioco di lama

  Fiora ha la velocità d'attacco aumentata per i prossimi due attacchi. Il primo attacco rallenta il bersaglio, il secondo mette a segno un colpo critico.

• R
  Sfida mirabolante

  Fiora rivela tutti i quattro Punti vitali di un campione nemico e ottiene velocità di movimento quando gli è vicina. Se Fiora colpisce tutti i quattro Punti vitali o se il bersaglio muore dopo che ne ha colpito almeno uno, Fiora e i suoi alleati nell'area vengono curati per pochi secondi.

  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.
