Fiora Outlook and Build Question

LittleKonqueror·Aug 13, 2015·1 votes·732 views

Oddly enough, I like the new Fiora as an old Fiora player. She's has more of her own set of skills than a Yi clone. Sure she's under performing (to my knowledge and experience) . but that's the part of being new and she requires a little more skill than just running up to the opponent and killing them. Her Q gives her a little bit of mobility that's needed, W prevents most damage and cc if timed correctly, and her R gives an AoE heal to her whole party. I do understand that her she lost some advantages but she gained a lot more.

The one thing I'm having trouble oddly enough is what to build for her. I know she needs (wave clear, AD, and procs Q) and (basically everything) but after that I'm not sure what's recommended beyond that. What stats do I really need to focus on?

I've extensively played the new Fiora on my ranked account, and i found that early game you need to rush Ravenous Hydra and the Trinity Force, then you need Defense boots, depending on the situtaion, then a defensive item of your choice (I usually go with the Frozen Mallet), then bloodthirster for the sustain, and then another defensive item of your choice, or offensive, depending on the situation. The new Fiora needs more tank to sustain and fight for a longer time compared to the old Fiora because her DPS is a lot lower, and her ult isnt super offensive anymore. Hope it helps!

Yeah that usually sounds about right. Early game I do the same and always get defensive boots. After that, I usually go more bruiser AD. I may switch out item 3065 because her ult, even though it helps, its very hard to place on team fights when its activated. Probably some build like this:

item 3074 item 3078 item 3022 item 3156 item 3031 item 1320

I usually build two defensive items after those two, last item is either item 3072 or item 3153 , she doesn't really need arm.pen with that passive and ulty imo.

Right. But the passive isn't for all the time. Just once about every 5 seconds. The ult makes every vital around her appear but all other vitals from other champions disappear. To me, I feel like she needs SOME Armor pen in times where that doesn't happen.

I suggest raw AD if your ahead. items like item 3031 item 3072 item 3142 never hurt. But if your even or behind, you can build a bit defensive-ish item 3156 item 3742 item 3071 .

Idk really, since I'm not really comfy with her either, played almost 50+ games now and still kinda iffy. I just go glass cannon and say fck it, most games
