How to play it

✓ DO

Bait her Riposte

Riposte (W) parries your strike and stuns you — never dump your combo into it; bait it out first, then commit.

Block her Q, punish

When she Lunges in with Q, W the Lunge and retaliate with a full combo — and keep E to kite out to safety if she turns it around.

Abuse weak waveclear

Fiora has poor early waveclear and her players don't respect minions — play with your wave (it aggros onto her) and win the tempo battle before she scales.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never dash straight into Fiora — it's like dashing into Riven, she'll run you down and end you; hit Q2 and play around your wave instead.
