Fiora is a highly mobile melee duelist who excels in split-pushing and 1v1 combat. Her unique "Duelist's Dance" passive creates Vital points on enemies, dealing bonus damage and providing healing when struck.

Core Abilities

  • Passive (Duelist's Dance): Reveals Vital points on enemies. Hitting these points deals bonus true damage and grants healing
  • Q (Lunge): Dash to target location, dealing damage. Hitting enemy champions reduces cooldown
  • W (Riposte): Blocks incoming damage and CC, then stuns if blocking hard CC
  • E (Bladework): Two enhanced auto attacks with the second guaranteed to crit
  • R (Grand Challenge): Reveals 4 Vitals around target champion. Hitting all grants AoE healing

Skill Order Priority

  1. Q (Lunge)
  2. E (Bladework)
  3. W (Riposte)

Max Q first for reduced cooldown and increased damage output. This improves mobility and Vital proc frequency.

Core Items

  • Starting: Doran's Blade + Health Potion
  • Core Build: Goredrinker > Ravenous Hydra > Death's Dance
  • Situational: Guardian Angel, Maw of Malmortius, Black Cleaver

Gameplay Tips

  • Focus on hitting Vital points during trades
  • Use Q mobility to reposition and proc Vitals
  • Time W carefully to counter enemy CC
  • Split push and look for 1v1 duels
  • Save R for securing kills or teamfight cleanup

Laning Phase

  • Trade when enemy Vital points face you
  • Use Q to last hit and harass simultaneously
  • Maintain wave control to enable roaming
  • Look for all-in opportunities at level 6

This highly mobile champion excels at split pushing and dueling, making her an excellent choice for players who enjoy a aggressive, high-skill-cap playstyle.
