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 Vayne
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't fight with your back to a wall
Don't stand with your back to a wall against her: Condemn (E) knocks you back, and if you hit terrain, you're stunned.
- Short, repeated trades
Take short, repeated trades: she's fragile, and on the third consecutive hit on you, Silver Bolts (W) adds true damage based on your max health.
- Don't feed her kills during her ult
During Final Hour (R), back off rather than risk your life: each champion she kills after damaging them extends the effect.
