Fiora Build
Best Build Guide for Fiora
Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
Starting items:
For every matchup i would highly suggest getting Long Sword as a Starting Item because you want the extra AD to dominate lane and it helps as it opens more opportunities
For early all-ins or a level 2 cheese or a aggressive Mid roam (In certain matchups that are weaker than you) you want to harass with
Lunge
and make sure you Proc / Hit the
Duelist's Dance
Core items:
Trinity Force
,
Youmuu's Ghostblade
,
Death's Dance
(The rest are depending on the matchup) *You could also substitute
Youmuu's Ghostblade
for [Blade of the Ruined King] if youre focusing on Lifesteal* but Youmuus is better for Tank matchups or squishys (AD Carries)
Trinity Force
is a MUST on Fiora as it helps Fiora while in the Laning Phase
Personally, i use
Youmuu's Ghostblade
as a second item because it really helps to burst down Tanks and enemies Quicker
Tanks are common in Baron Lane, [Fiora:passive] does a great job on countering Tanks as it scales [TRUE DAMAGE] however, her passive is easily countered by
Thornmail
&
Mortal Reminder
so be aware of the enemy's build
Some people might say WHY
Duskblade of Draktharr
? well, to put it simply
Duskblade of Draktharr
meshes well with
Youmuu's Ghostblade
and is really useful to burst Tankier champions but can also be used for bursting enemy squishy's
As you may know by now
Sterak's Gage
has a Passive called Lifeline which grants you extra health and a shield of some type to avoid getting bursted by Assasins
effects only apply if youre below 35% Health
if the enemy team has a lot of AP champions, use
Maw of Malmortius
,
Sterak's Gage
, and
Mercury's Treads
The
Manamune
/
Muramana
should only be used if the enemy team's comp has full AD
Buy
Teleport Enchant
if you want to go Split Pushing
And it only should be used for Split Pushing OR TP'ing to a Team fight
Remember that each Builds has its strength and weaknesses, so tryout what works for you because not all players has the same playstyle
Good Luck on your rank games!

Fiora Matchups & Counters
Detailed information on how to play matchups and counters
MAN TO ANGRY TOO DIE
Tryndamere
is actually very easy to lane against under level 5 and above level 5 (depends on the game state)
Harass him in lane as much as possible in lane before level 5 and be sure you have barrier because he crits with
Bloodlust
and heals a lot
his Undying Rage lasts for a decent amount of time and can be used to dive turrets so be careful
Your Fiora Mindset
Fiora is bad at teamfighting but good at dueling, hence her title. if you want to climb with Fiora you need a mindset but first here are some basic fundamentals you need to know about Fiora :
Fiora is a duelist so try to avoid getting 1v4'ed or higher, she is the best split pusher in the game so use that advantage to pressure the map and help your team get OBJs while overwhelm the enemy team with the pressure
if youre caught in a teamfight with Fiora what you need to do is try to go to their backline and isolate or assasinate their AD Carry, try to fight the ADC because you have lifesteal with your vitals so take advantage of with to get you team an advantage while the AD Carry's team is fighting your team you need to fight the AD Carry and ensure that your team has a chance of winning
If youre behind with Fiora what you need to do is roam to other lanes and help take objectives I.e Dragon, Herald, Baron, or turrets. if they destroy your turret its ok, just make sure you get OBJs and take their turret, yes this is a coinflip strategy but if executed properly it will win you games
DONT DO THIS IF YOURE AGAINST A Vayne OR Kai'sa , BECAUSE THEY CAN EASILY OUT ROTATE YOU
And also, dont play by your emotions, play with your Brain, Skill and Confidence
Early Game
Fiora 's Early Game is one of the best, to ensure that you win lane is you must manage your minions properly by either freezing, shoving, fast pushing, slow shove towards your turret. You dont have to do all of this in a single match as some of these are conditional and optional
Summoner Spell tracking is also important
what i mean by this is, remembering the enemy's Summoner spell I.e [Flash] [Barrier] [Ignite] and when did they last use it and for what purpose
use your [Fiora:1] to harass in lane and make sure to use it to focus on Duelist's Dance not only to CS
Try to get scutle or ward around the scutle to give info to both you and your jungler if the enemy jungler is taking it or not, you can also take it as it gives you 325 gold = to 1 Kill
BE MINDFUL IF YOUR TRYING TO TAKE SCUTLER AS MOST EARLY GAME SKIRMISHES HAPPENS THERE
MID GAME
By the 10 Minute mark you should already have obtained
Trinity Force
,
Youmuu's Ghostblade
and depending on your early game performance you will already have your third item, by this point if you already have a kill as
Fiora
its better to roam, but dont roam while there is a wave, you need to clear it either split push or take Objectives.
DONT FORGET TO PLACE A WARD IN YOUR LANE
i would recommend you to do this because if you use Mastermind you will gain extra gold and exp, you also do extra damage to turrets which is very helpful if youre split pushing
dont forget to collect waves in empty lanes and also go back to your lane once in a while to push and clear waves
LATE GAME
Late game starts at 15 Minutes and above, at this point youre almost done with your build as Fiora (depending on the state of the game) so focus on roaming but dont forget to collect waves in empty lanes to speed up you items this is where team coordination and your skill will be put to the test, coordinate with your team to get 2 [Oracle lens] and 3 players holding [Sight Ward]
IF the state of the game is stale and both teams are matched, place down ward to be use for vision and [Teleport] locations
again Fiora is bad at teamfights, so best thing to do is assert pressure by split pushing
COMEBACKS
if youre behind with Fiora best thing to do is to coordinate with your team and do coinflip roams. I am aware that this is risky but sometimes you must take risks, this usually starts at the early game and if you fall behind from there, there is still a chance at coming back. How?
Track enemy summoner spells [Flash] [Ignite] [Heal] [Barrier] and plan out your ganks
Track their jungler by warding their camps
Group together
Take opportunistic Objective Steals / takes
Punish their mistakes
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY:
Lift your team's mentality and take control when nobody is in control
MECHANICS
Most players will say that Fiora is really hard mechanic to learn, but although its partially true, Fiora 's only unique mechanic is her ability to parry damage and cc to the enemy champion through her Riposte
If you want to quickly get good with Fiora mechanics i would suggest going into training room and learn the Combos, Abilites you can parry, and what her abilities do.
If you dont want to do that as it takes some time, i would suggest watching this Video by Wickd, an ex LoL PC Pro maining Fiora
SKILL ORDER
There are different variations of skill order, both for AD and AP and i'll list them below
AD: Lunge Max - Bladework Max - Riposte Max (Put in Grand Challenge points whenever possible)
AD: Lunge Max - Riposte 2 Points- Bladework 3 Points Grand Challenge - Max (Max out the other Abilities after ult is maxed)
AP: Lunge Max - [ Riposte Max - Bladework Max (Put in Grand Challenge points whenever possible)
AP:
Lunge
Max - [
Riposte
3 Points / Max -
Bladework
2 Points / Max -
Grand Challenge
Max / 2 Points
THERE ARE WAY MORE VARIETIES BUT I WILL ONLY COVER THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND COMMONLY USED ONES

Fiora is very strong now in patch 2.4, but with the recent nerf to her max health, shes gotten pretty vulnerable and much easier to handle. one of the best top laners that can bully Fiora in lane is: Riven , Irelia , Renekton those champs with the new items has also been favored as the new patch opens up new build types to use against Fiora
But also keep in mind that the champs i just mentioned, some of them are weak against Fiora i.e Renekton and Riven in the early game, but again the new patch provided new build types and variants
*FUTURE UPDATES WHEN A NEW PATCH RELEASES*
Conclusion
It took me 6 Hours to make this so i would appreciate the like!

GLOSSARIUM OF USED TERMS
AP: Attack Power is a stat that is mostly built up by mages but could also used by fighters if they have an AP Ability in their kit
AD: Attack Damage. Is a different type of stat that is meant for damage. You see a lot of bruisers building this
Parry: its basicly a abbreviation and a name for Fiora 's Riposte ability passive so if i confused you with Parry and Riposte its actually the same thing
Freezing: Freezing a minion wave near your turret so that you can farm safely and force your lane opponent to over extend and making them vulnerable to ganks
Proc: its a term used for if an ability, passive etc is used or activated (Abbreviation)
Diving: A term used to abbreviate a player diving an enemy champion under their turret
CS: Also an Abbreviation to a player (us) or the enemy champion killing minions, its also the short and commonly use word for Creep Score or Minion Score

Split Pushing: a term used mostly as an act of asserting pressure by damaging ours or their enemy turrets by Split Pushing
TP'ing: TP is a abbreviation of Teleporting mostly use for the Teleport Enchant
Skirmishes and Team fights: both are actually pretty much the same, difference between the two is the amount of players participating a 2v2 - 3v3 is mostly considered a SKIRMISH while a 4v4 - 5v5 is mostly considered as a Team Fight
