the Grand Duelist

Fighter

Assassin

Tier B Top

Fiora, the Grand Duelist, is a fighter and assassin champion that is easy to pick up. Across our 590 analysed ranked games, Fiora is mostly played in Top (100% of its games), with a 50.0% win rate in that role: tier B among Top champions (#27 of 51, ranked by win rate). Fiora's damage is mixed (60% physical, 5% magic): stacking a single type of resistance is less efficient against this champion. 35% of that damage is true damage and therefore ignores resistances. Win rate varies with game length: 52.9% in long games (over 35 min, 68 games) versus 48.2% in medium-length games (25 to 35 min).

Combos and how to play

Written guide · based on the official ability texts

Fiora is a duelist who reveals her opponents' weak points: hitting them heals her and gives her speed. Lunge dashes her in, Riposte parries all damage and crowd control targeting her before counterattacking, Bladework raises her attack speed with a critical strike, and Grand Challenge reveals all four weak points.

The trade

E AA AA AA AA

When: An enemy is within Lunge range.

Lunge dashes you onto the weak point, Bladework gives attack speed with a slow then a critical strike.

The parry

When: An enemy casts a decisive ability.

Riposte parries all damage and crowd control targeting you, then thrusts to slow; it stuns if you parried an immobilizing effect.

The duel

E AA AA

When: You are fighting a single champion.

Grand Challenge reveals all four weak points and speeds you up near them; if you hit all four or the opponent dies after you hit one, you and your allies in the area are healed.

Laning phase

Hit the revealed weak point to heal and gain speed. Keep Riposte to parry a decisive ability: it blocks all damage and crowd control.

Common mistakes

Using Riposte without knowing which ability to parry.
Ignoring the weak point: it is your source of healing.
Casting Grand Challenge on an enemy accompanied by many allies.
