MetaBot Tips
  • Fiora has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
  • Fiora has a high rate of healing compared to other champions. They may be good at exchanging hit trades in lane or before teamfights since they can recover through self-healing.
  • Fiora has a much higher late game win rate than their early game win rate. Take advantage of this by spending the early game farming and avoiding unneccessary fights.
  • Fiora has more health regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
  • Fiora has more base attack damage than most champions, so they should be trading autos aggressively in lane.

Playing Fiora

  • Thanks to Duelist's Dance, Fiora excels at quick trades. Use the Move Speed boost from striking a Vital to escape unscathed or set up for the next one.
  • Grand Challenge allows Fiora to take down even the most durable opponents and then recover if successful, so do not hesitate to attack the enemy's front line.

Playing Against Fiora

  • Duelist's Dance shows you where Fiora will try to attack from, so be ready to punish her when she tries.
  • Be careful when casting immobilizing disables on Fiora. If her Riposte is available, she can turn their power against you.
