Playing as Fiora
Tips to maximize your impact
- Hit the Vital
Position to hit the Duelist's Dance (passive) Vital: each Vital you hit heals you and gives you move speed.
- Lunge toward the Vital
Cast Lunge (Q) on the Vital's side: the strike prioritizes Vitals, and hitting an enemy lowers its cooldown.
- Riposte their CC
Save Riposte (W) for enemy CC: it parries damage and effects for a moment, and if it parries an immobilizing effect, your stab stuns the first champion hit.
- Circle them for your R
Hit the four Grand Challenge (R) Vitals by circling your target: if you hit them all in time, or they die after the first, you heal nearby allies.
Playing against K'Sante
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge his third Q
After two Ntofo Strikes (Q) hit you, back off or dodge the next one: it becomes a shockwave that stuns and pulls.
- Step out of his charge's line
When he charges Path Maker (W), get out of its line: nothing stops him while he charges, then he rams straight ahead and his dash knocks back and stuns.
- Don't fight with your back to a wall
Don't fight with your back to a wall when he has All Out (R): if he knocks you into it, you go through, he hits you again and follows, far from your team.
- Focus him during his R
Focus him during All Out (R): he loses max health, bonus armor and bonus magic resist, but heals off his damage, so don't drag it out.
