Mordekaiser Win Condition
Victory against Fiora hinges on abusing the item power spike provided by Rylai's Crystal Scepter (Rylze) to manage her mobility and utilizing anti-healing. Rylai's enables Mordekaiser to space around her Vitals effectively. While you can confront her in team fights, you must avoid challenging her in the hyper late game side lane.
Fiora Win Condition
Fiora wins by consistently proc-ing Vitals and successfully using her Riposte (W) to neutralize Mordekaiser's key abilities. Since she can parry both your pull (E) and your ultimate (R), landing your
R is incredibly difficult. In the hyper late game, her win condition is realized through her capacity to murder Mordekaiser on the side lane and rapidly melt turrets. She typically looks to rush Ravenous Hydra for massive wave sustain and healing.
General Strategy
Due to the difficulty of this matchup, specific defensive items are mandatory. You must rush Bramble Vest every single time, as the lane is deemed unplayable without the grievous wounds. Your first major offensive power spike must be Rylai's Crystal Scepter, which significantly eases the spacing challenge. The slow from Rylai's reduces Fiora's
Q dash speed, making it much harder for her to reach Vitals, thereby reducing her damage output.
If Mordekaiser uses the Approach Velocity rune alongside Rylai’s, he gains extra movement speed while Fiora is slowed, further aiding in kiting around Vitals and enhancing 1v1 potential. After securing Bramble Vest and Rylai's, look for Plated Steelcaps. In the late game, if you are forced to deal with her, having Zhonya's Hourglass can provide necessary stasis time against her full-build dive potential. Crucially, avoid the side lane entirely in the hyper late game.
Trading Patterns
Trading against Fiora is primarily defined by "parry mind games". You must constantly track where Vitals appear to minimize the number of procs she gets. The greatest challenge is your ultimate: there is a high chance Fiora will block yourR if you use it predictably.
The recommended tactic is to try to use your ultimate out of timing when she won't really expect it, giving you a higher chance of success before she uses her Riposte. Once you possess both Bramble Vest and Rylai's, you should be able to counter and overcome her major healing spike provided by Ravenous Hydra.
