Fiora
Master Tier Champion Guide
Identity
Fiora is a lane dominant, AD skirmisher who excels at dueling and split-pushing. You should play Fiora if you want a champion who can take over the game through sheer mechanical skill and map pressure. Her kit is designed around her passive, Duelist's Dance, which allows her to deal massive true damage by striking her opponent's vitals. Mastering Fiora requires an understanding of her vital mechanics and the ability to outplay opponents in 1v1 and 1v2 situations.

Tips & Tricks
Abilities
PVitals alternate between two sections: Top Right or Bottom Left. If one spawns to the Left, the next vital will be either Top or Bottom.
QUse Q to quickly dash through walls and terrain to cover distance faster than walking.
Fiora can pop vitals from over walls using her Q.
E- E is an auto-attack reset. Use Auto-E or Q-Auto-E to maximize DPS.
RWhen the opponent hugs a wall during your ultimate, focus the vital closest to the wall first. This ensures you can secure the AOE heal even if the other side is difficult to access, and it allows your passive vitals to start spawning again (as they stop spawning while an ult vital is protected).
Start the ultimate in a corner of the target, which provides easy access to two vitals using Auto-
E and movement, allowing you to hold yourQ for the later vitals.
