Malphite	Easy	168	49%	+611	+2,354	Against Comet Malphite, his poke is primarily damaging due to the comet itself; use Time Warp Tonic and your Passive movement speed (by autoing a minion) to quickly run out of the range of his Q before the Comet can land, mitigating the majority of his damage.

Riven	Easy	165	50%	+374	+1,415	You have complete control: always sit on a pre-placed barrel knowing Riven must commit by dashing in; if she does, instantly Q her, auto the barrel to refresh your passive, and Orange (W) her stun to decisively win the short trade and put her out of lane.

Garen	Easy	145	50%	+715	+1,352	Garen is essentially Fiora's "dumb younger brother," making this matchup straightforward: place a barrel down and stand your ground, daring him to approach; if he stays back, Q him, or if he advances, use the barrel and a Sheen Q to punish him severely, ensuring an easy lane win.

Mordekaiser	Easy	136	50%	+58	+921	Save your Orange (W) exclusively for Mordekaiser's Ultimate (Death Realm), which serves as a guaranteed QSS to negate his defining 1v1 threat and ensure you maintain favorable duels.

DrMundo	Easy	134	51%	+736	+2,116	Utilize First Strike with Taste of Blood and Treasure Hunter to aggressively farm gold and achieve a faster path to Essence Reaver and Executioner's Calling, creating a powerful anti-heal spike that severely limits his ability to survive trades.
