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
  决斗之舞

  菲奥娜已在这名英雄身上发现了一处破绽。如果她命中了这处破绽，她就会回复生命值并获得移动速度。

  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
  破空斩

  菲奥娜向一个方向冲刺，并刺击一个附近的敌人，造成物理伤害并施加攻击特效。

• W
  劳伦特心眼刀

  菲奥娜在短时间内对所有即将到来的伤害和限制效果进行招架，然后朝着一个方向进行刺击。这个刺击会减速命中的第一个敌方英雄，如果菲奥娜用这个技能格挡掉一个禁锢类效果，那么刺击会造成晕眩效果而非减速效果。

  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
  夺命连刺

  菲奥娜的下两次攻击将获得攻击速度加成。第一次攻击会使目标减速，而第二次攻击必定会产生暴击。

• R
  无双挑战

  菲奥娜显示出一个敌方英雄身上的所有四处破绽，并在目标附近时获得移动速度加成。如果菲奥娜命中了所有四处破绽，或者目标在死前至少被命中了一处破绽，那么菲奥娜和范围内的友军就会在接下来的几秒里持续获得治疗效果。

  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.
