FIORA's Skills and abilities
Fiora is a potent champion and is one of the best for Top Lane gameplay. She has a relatively simple kit but possesses a high skill ceiling requiring a fair amount of thought to get the most out of her playstyle.
Fiora is all about positioning, striking enemy forces in “key” locations, and when successful, you’ll be able to clean up against multiple enemies at impressive speed.
Here’s a closer look at Fiora’s skills and abilities:
- Duelist’s Dance
Duelist’s Dance is Fiora’s innate or passive attack. It allows Fiora to identify the Vitals of any nearby enemy champions, marking an arch around them.
Vitals will take 0.5 seconds to identify enemy units and usually lingers for 15 seconds. After at least one Vital gets triggered or time out, Fiora will locate a new one on her target.
It also heals Fiora and grants her bonus movement speed that decays in 1.75 seconds.
- Lunge
Lunge lets Fiora dash for a short distance in a target direction, where she’ll then stab a nearby enemy unit. When you successfully hit an enemy, it will reduce this skill’s cooldown by 60%.
This skill inflicts physical damage while applying on-hit effects and prioritizing Vitals — and enemy champions.
- Riposte
This skill is where Fiora poises to strike her blade in a target direction while becoming immune to non-turret damage and gaining crowd control and debuff immunity. However, during this, Fiora will be immobile.
Fiora will stab her sword forward after the poise, dealing magic damage to enemies within a straight line.
The first enemy champion hit by this attack is slowed down and crippled for 1.5 seconds. If Fiora manages to dodge an immobilizing effect, Riposte will stun instead of applying a slow.
- Bladework
Bladework is an active attack that gives Fiora’s subsequent two basic attacks within 14 seconds a bonus of 175 attack range and a 50% attack speed boost.
However, Fiora’s first basic attack can’t critically strike, but it can slow targets by 30% for one second. Meanwhile, the second attack is always guaranteed to inflict a critical strike for enhanced damage.
This skill resets Fiora’s auto-attack timer.
- Grand Challenge
Passive: Grand Challenge gives Duelist’s Dance existing movement speed bonus another boost when Fiora is near a target enemy.
Active: When activated, Fiora will challenge a target enemy champion for 8 seconds, highlighting their four Vitals, creating an area around them. While in effect, Duelist’s Dance doesn’t identify new Vitals on her target.
If Fiora hits at least one Vital before her target dies or if Fiora hits all Vitals, she’ll create a Victory Zone. In this zone, all allied champions can get healed for 2 to 5 seconds depending on how many Vitals Fiora managed to hit.
