FioraMatchups

Fun matchup for Fiora. Try to parry his 3rd Q as it is predictable and does a lot of damage. You can also engage (if you are ahead) by riposting his W pull into him and Qing him while dodging his Qs.

You will want to build Executioner's Calling if you are behind. You can easily beat him with good movement combined with your Q as he needs to hit you in those sweet spots for maximum damage.

Lvl 2 you win. Look to parry his W auto attack, but be careful as he can hesitate to make you waste parry. You can also look to parry his E charge, or the knock up from his R.

If you know he is going to R, then save your parry for his ult as it does a lot of damage, applies the knock up auto attack passive, and keeps you vulnerable for an even bigger follow up. Also be careful after he builds Bramble Vest.

If he takes E lvl 1 don't fight him and possibly even Q out of the range if necessary. His counterstrike can be triggered early and there is about a 0.75 sec window of failure. I usually count 1 sec in my head and then parry, but it depends on the player. You have to get used to their style as this is a skill matchup.

Lvl 3 and on, look to riposte as soon as he Q dashes onto you. You will negate all the high damage, and when he Es after, Q out of the way or walk (since he should be slowed by riposte) and then reengage on him and you win.

Zaahen can't harass you early if you choose to not fight him. You can W either his first auto since he will Auto + Q always, or you can hold your W for when you think he will recast his Q for the knockup. If you maintain range slightly out of auto and bait it, you can see when he recasts Q making it easier to W. Be very careful of his W pull, that will mess up your combo. If you W the pull instantly, it doesn't count as a stun because it's a two part ability. The first part tags you, the second pulls you. You have to wait to be tagged, then W after. It can take some getting used to to get the timing right.

You beat Zaahen in the early game. If his passive is almost or fully stacked, you can just click back, and wait for it to drop. Treat it like Darius passive. At level 6, if you're procing your R and he ults you, just back away, and trade R for R. You're better in a fight if you both don't have Rs.

Late game, if Zaahen dies and is in revive, never stick on him. You need to wait it out, and let his passive drop or he will just oneshot you, unless you still have R and W. He doesn't bully you in lane, and you can beat him in side. You just need to be careful and take your time with it.

Get tear early. Q to dodge comet procs if he's running it. Early, your W is best used either when chasing to Q-W into his Q, or when fighting, to predict W his E. It's usually easy to predict because they're not trying to hide when they do it in every fight.

After level 6, you have to use your R to poke. The second he walks up to Q you, Q-W into his Q, use your R insta and poke him with it. That's the only way to play this lane out. You outscale at Ravenous Hydra + Muramana. Laning is annoying but perma poke with R, crash waves with Tiamat, and you're chill after Ravenous Hydra sustain. You will lose team fights, so don't try to teamfight. Always stay in the sidelane.

Darius is one of the few champions you lose to level 1, so be careful of that. You'll want to wait for level 3 before taking any trades with him. Q-poking Darius max range, where you can hit with Q but he can't trade back is highly recommended and only thing you can do level 1.

To win any trade after level 3, you will have to W his E or the more consistent option, W his W. If the enemy Darius player is skilled enough in this matchup, they will hold both abilities and kite you with Ghost. If you believe the enemy Darius player is that skilled in the matchup (Master+ OTP), then you'll only beat Darius after your first item.

You'll always beat Darius in the sidelane 1v1. The main issue you have to be aware of is teamfights. Even if the Darius is behind, due to the high damage on his R after he gets 5 stacks, he is always a threat to you. So, try to avoid teamfighting when there's a Darius in the game unless your team is ahead.

If you are new, use Grasp rune page. This is a harder matchup as Renekton is really strong early game. If you are comfortable with Fiora, you can take Conqueror/PTA. Don't fight him if he gains lane prio. Look to trade when you have the wave pushing and he has no rage bar.

Look to riposte his stun or Q if you miss the stun. Be careful as he can dodge your riposte with his E. If you can't find a good opening, play lane safe and outscale. Renekton is a very snowbally champion so play slow if you are struggling in lane and can't find a good opening to win trade.

Do not fight him lvl 1 as he can chase you down with Q and the minions will eat you alive. Lvl 2 get your parry and you always want to parry him when he Qs. It is pretty obvious when he is going to do it as well. Constantly Q to not let him heal from his passive.

Make sure when you are low that you don't hold riposte for his R, as his Q will silence you so that way you can't riposte in time. When he is Eing (spin) run away to disengage, and reengage afterwards as that is the majority of the damage.
