What About Fiora Youtubers?!

Here are the known Youtubers:

Is Fiora Worth Maining? Is Fiora A Good/Strong Champion?

This is the most common question. The answer is straightforward. If you like Fiora, then you main her, one trick her, or otherwise add her to your champion pool. Most of the time people feel like they can't climb with her, for good reasons, but they still play her even if she doesn't feel good or strong. You can't ask these kinds of question to people who chose her for her, not Meta, because she will always be worth it. If you have to ask yourself if a champion is worth it, then no, she is not worth it for you, but that doesn't mean she can't become worth it if you truly want to get past the Meta barrier.

New To Fiora, Any Tips?! How Long To Master Her?

You have to put time into Fiora, tons of time actually. We're talking hundreds of games, some even thousands cause they're slow learners. Don't be discouraged if you don't see success right away!

Fiora is a duelist, she excels when you learn every match up possible and can win or survive lane until you have your items; micro management. The champion is all about outplaying your opponent in lane to gain a lead.

Once you become good at winning most match ups, your muscle memory kicks in and you can focus on using that lead to help your team get to a victory: macro management. That's the part that holds most people back from climbing in ranked!

How Does Lunge Work?

Lunge prioritizes in order of:

  • Nearest Vital formed by Grand Challenge facing Fiora
  • Nearest Vital facing Fiora
  • Nearest champion that would die to the strike
  • Nearest non-champion that would die to the strike
  • Nearest champion
  • Nearest non-champion
  • Nearest Structures
  • Nearest Wards

Should Fiora Team Fight?

Fiora is a great split pusher, but a terrible team fighter. Avoid team fights unless really fed or confident in the chance to clean up. Limit test, it doesn't hurt to try to team fight now and then. Because Fiora isn't great at team fighting, she is reliant on her team not taking bad fights and playing around her split push instead, which often they do not, for some reason. Fiora can only do so much against a better team in comparison to her own.

How To Carry As Fiora?

The only sure fire way for Fiora to carry her team is to split push her enemies base wide open while they are busy fighting at an objective, eventually getting the backdoor cause they took their eye off their base for too long. It's the only way Fiora can carry because she cannot 1v9 team fight; she can take turrets fast and that's what she should be used for. Fiora players who try to team fight too much when the team keeps losing is going to lose the game more likey than win. The thing is, Fiora can't always split push effectively. If she is behind at all, she will be unable to do her job, especially into tanks. She can't split push into certain junglers well, like Master Yi, who can run her down, kill her, and still have time to rotate to next objective.

It isn't easy to split push because it requires coordination from Fiora's team, but she can't always rely on that either, so it's a tough uphill battle against her own teams agenda and the enemy team ganging up on her... just to open up the enemy's base for a chance to win.

How To Get An Get S+?

There are multiple factors to getting a S+:

  • KDA is important of course
  • You must have your CS be 10 CS per minute, around that amount
  • Objective Taking, ie. towers, camps
  • CONTROL WARDS, even just buying one will improve your score immensely

Is Fiora Mid Good? Any other role?

No, absolutely not. She is made of paper for mages, it's why she dislikes facing Vladimir in the top lane. A short lane makes Fiora much easier to be abused by mages. She can counter pick some champions that may go mid, but otherwise, no, it isn't good.

Fiora can't do any other role either. She is stuck in the top lane, which is unfortunate. Jungle Fiora would be the only somewhat viable role, but even then it doesn't work consistently and isn't recommended.

Want A Secondary Champion Similar To Fiora!

You can use the search bar, as this question gets asked a bunch.

Fiora is fairly unique in her play pattern, since she is a True Damage Skirmisher, so it isn't possible to get someone who feels like her, truly and honestly. However, there are some champions that feel just as rewarding to play when mastered.

These champions have gap closers, crowd control, burst, but team fight better, and not necessarily as good at split pushing.

  • Camille
  • Diana
  • Gwen
  • Irelia
  • Jax
  • Riven

Need Help Against Fiora! Counterpick?!

There are quite a bit of options when it comes to counter picking Fiora, actually. Although these particular champions do counter her, as in they can kill her easier than Fiora can kill them, they don't all do it without requiring some skill too. You can't simply pick one and expect to do well, you have to develop the right method of making her laning phase a nightmare, especially with the more skill based champions, or she can still beat you.

It is highly recommended you visit the champions sub-reddit themselves and search for Fiora, they can give you tips on how to beat it, or what to look out for if they too think it is difficult. Since this is a Fiora sub-reddit, we can only tell you from experience what gives us a bit more of a hard time, and they can give you their perspective. You can find a full list of Champion-Specific Subreddits in the sidebar.

Who has the most mastery? Does mastery count for something?

You can view the top mastery Fiora players at the link below. The mastery system is merely a way to measure how much you play certain champions. It doesn't determine how good you are or how high elo you might be. It is just for display purposes, something to grind, and say, I like this champion.

  • Rek'Sai Unburrow Via Auto Attack Doesn't Get Parried

What is the best skin?

Everyone has different preferences of skins, but certain skins are better for visuals and others are not. That's the only thing that matters. For instance, Project has clear Vitals and Pool Party has really hard to see Vitals.

If you're asking people which skin to buy, this is a tier list, not based on appearance in game, but that is included for your convenience:

Discussion Fiora Matchup Spreadsheet is updated

45 Upvotes

Fiora Bible 2026 - Google Sheets

TLDR:
Nimbus cloak is very fun. Run it a lot.

Ranged matchups are easier due to HoB and stormsurge.

Hail of blades is very nice on Fiora vs squishier matchups due to how it got updated (auto reset abilities like Fiora E don't count to the HoB 3 autos and the increased base damage).

Cyclosword still useable but instead of using it as a slow to get more vitals, you use it for pure damage. It's better to build it when running HoB for instaburst or stormsurge to instaproc it on 1 Q, but you can still run it with PTA. Only build it when you can oneshot your enemy, not when they're way too tanky to kill in one rotation.

Stormsurge is pretty good for Fiora. Only has the weakness of being worse into tankier matchups like Darius when behind, so it's harder to proc.

Overall matchups have gotten easier for Fiora with the new season. I've played about a 100 games in the season so far, I'll update the info in the spreadsheet as I play more.

Feel free to ask me anything and I'll do my best to answer.

Discussion When do u actually start winning?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys!

Fellow fiora enjoyer here.

So I peaked D2 this year pretty easily using a combination of mundo gwen and kled mostly

and then I decided to start my fiora journey since I wanted something a bit more demanding and stable through meta changes at the same time (used to OTP camille to diamond back in the day).

I am right now sitting at E3 with an abysmal 49% WR in general and with fiora at 170 games and 48% wr.

So my question is when does it get better?

It feels like playing this champ is some kind of bdsm. The necessity to execute perfectly and dying with each and every misstep even on matchups you win.

Or losing 1v1s by a hair just because you failed to proc one last vital.

It just makes me wanna scream. Nevertheless, mama didnt raise no...

Cheers.

Help So when does this get good?

2 Upvotes

I've been spamming Fiora lately. I really enjoy the champ itself. I understand most common matchups pretty well, I can fast combo and trade decently, I know how to track jungle and how to sidelane, etc etc, and yet.. I can't win. I can't impact the game. It doesn't even matter if I leave lane 0/6 or 6/0, the game is usually decided by the time I take top tower anyway, either in my favor or in enemy favor.

Is learning Fiora atm a waste of time? It just feels like toplane in general is super low agency, and Fiora takes too long to get going unless you're omega gapping your opponent, similar to Camille really. Do I just play conservatively and coinflip for better team? What do I do? How can play?

Discussion Bastion breaker buffs in preview

5 Upvotes

Fiora does alot of true damage but when looking at the adc build I've seen (rav>hubris>cyclo) and think about how bastion breaker could mix into it. Imagine a fiora bot (or even fiora vs ranged top) building rav>hubris>cyclo>bastion>trinity>hullbreaker.

Lmao humor me, I despise turrets

Discussion Which Fiora skin has the most visible passive vital?

Post image
34 Upvotes

I don't play Fiora myself, but a friend of mine mains her and we've been wondering about this.

He recently tried Battle Queen Fiora and felt the passive vitals were surprisingly hard to see, especially in a game against an Urgot. He said they blended in too much with the effects.

The problem is that he also doesn't like the look of PROJECT: Fiora, which is the skin most people seem to recommend.

So, in your opinion, which Fiora skin has the clearest and easiest-to-see passive vitals?

Discussion What are wrong with jungles?

3 Upvotes

Fiora vs Yorick. He runs exhaust and ignite... no flash. Solo kill him twice(2/0) pre-six, tell jungler I'm going to need a gank to kill the maiden at level 6. No gank till level 13, and i just die to Yorick in that fight as he is an item up on me(Iceborn Gauntlet). And I get left with "bro if u need help to win ur lane u are just worse." How would I go about beating a Yorick with maiden top having free reign and top wave control(he doesn't even bother walking much under my turret, so i cant really poke him when he walks up to hit turret).

Edit: included items in case I need to change runes/items

Discussion Day 1 of asking Riot to make a Demacia Vice Fiora legendary skin.

11 Upvotes

I don't know where else to start doing this where Riot could ever possibly heed my call 😩 I have been a huge Fiora fan for many years, and I can't help but notice in her 14 years of being in the game, she has not received a legendary skin! My absolute favorite skinline is Demacia Vice and there are only two of them!
I think Fiora would be absolutely perfect for for a DV skin in every conceivable way.

Thank you for your time, see you tomorrow

Help Why does comet proc when parrying?

5 Upvotes

Played against a lot of comet malph today and can't stop thinking about why when I parry his Q his comet still procs (the ability is clearly parried and I took no dmg from it so that is not in question). If comet procs on ability damage and parry negates all damage why does comet still proc. This really irks me bc by the time W ends the comet is just hitting and I don't have enough time to get away.
