[2.3] Fiora Guide - Top Duelist Fiora

Starting Items

• Long Sword to help you last hit which you will later build into Trinity Force.
• Boots of Speed against annoying match ups like Malphite or Nasus.

First Purchase

• Phage as a first item towards trinity because it gives ad/health which you need the most
• Stinger is the second item towards trinity because it gives attack speed which you need more than mana from sheen
• Sheen as the final item towards trinity
• Boots of Speed before/after trinity if you didn't buy it as first item

Duelist (Bruiser/AD)

• Trinity Force gives you extra damage upon using abilities ( Lunge ) and hitting enemies. Plus it gives you movement speed which makes it easier to kite. On top of that it somewhat makes you stronger all-around as it grants stats in all attributes which Fiora can take use of.
• Blade of the Ruined King is a good purchase as most of your matchups are somewhat tanky. This allows you to shred through them even quicker. You can replace this with Maw of Malmortius if you are facing an ap champion like full ap malphite or rush Sterak's Gage for more sustain against e.g. Darius and Garen who can one-shot you with thier ultimates
• Teleport Enchant is the only useful enchantment for fiora as she is a splitpusher and this allows her to do so while using teleport to get into fights after taking down turrets
• [guardian's angel] is a must have as a fourth item as it grants you ad, survivability (passive) and armour against enemy champions. If you are really ahead you can skip GA and buy a flexible item instead.
• Sterak's Gage for more sustain against e.g. Darius and Garen who can one-shot you with thier ultimates. Also gives you more damage and makes you a bit bulkier.
• Death's Dance is the berry of the cake. Gives you lifesteal and allows you to live longer in fights. If you have gotten to this stage of the game, DD is a must have.

Fighter (Tankier)

• Trinity Force gives you extra damage upon using abilities ( Lunge ) and hitting enemies. Plus it gives you movement speed which makes it easier to kite. On top of that it somewhat makes you stronger all-around as it grants stats in all attributes which Fiora can take use of.
• Black Cleaver is bought as a second item because of the stats that it gives. It allows you to shred through tanks, while keeping you bulky and getting you that extra damage
• Teleport Enchant is the only useful enchantment for fiora as she is a splitpusher and this allows her to do so while using teleport to get into fights after taking down turrets
• Bloodthirster will let you have a lot of health, as you take advantage of it when using Lunge , Bladework and when you proc your vitals with Duelist's Dance .
• Frozen Mallet gives you a lot of health, but you will primarily be buying it for the passive which will slow down your enemies when you land a Lunge
• Sterak's Gage gets you health, damage and a big shield when you get below 35% health, which is very useful as it buys you time to heal back with BT.

Boots

• [gluttoneous greaves] as default boots
• [ninja tabi] if the enemy has a lot of AD or champions with high attack speed (E.g. Yasuo, Master Yi, Ashe)
• Mercury's Treads if the enemy has a lot of crowd control (CC) or AP Mages (E.g. Lux, Jax, Ahri)

Flexible Items

• Maw of Malmortius against heavy ap like malphite, lux, etc
• Mortal Reminder if the enemy team has a lot of tanks with armour and you need more penetration or heal reduction (Mundo, Amumu, Malphite)
• Spirit Visage is bought against heavy ap, but if you need more sustain and health rather than damage. More defensive compared to Maw of Malmortius
• Quicksilver Enchant is useful against laners like Jax, Garen, Tryndamere & Nasus who can slow, silence or stun you. Otherwise don't take it.
• [stasis enchant] is a nice purchase against a team of assassins (Akali, Zed, Fizz, etc)
• Youmuu's Ghostblade is bought for faster roaming and returns to lane. Can be bought if you get ahead by many kills.
