How do you deal with Fiora? % Max HP True damage seems to have 0 counter

Coach Ferret·3/16/2016, 11:31:54 PM·3 votes·1,541 views

I'm not here to rage or complain about her being "OP" or "Unbalanced". I've tried looking at many different build paths, or play styles that might counter or simply help deal with her, but I keep hitting roadblocks.

"Build armor" >True damage

"Build HP" >% Max HP true damage

"Build Damage" >% Max HP True damage also heals her, along with parrying any type of cc you may have

"Move speed to stay away from her??" >Ult gives her Move speed and E slows

"Just try to outfarm her?" >harass and all in potential too strong

I have an idea or 2 on champ picks but is there a basic style I'm missing that works against her? She's such a difficult champion to deal with and while it feels she is "OP", I understand that using such language does not assist me in improving in any way.

If you want to have that kind of defeatist attitude no one can help you.

I build health and damage when I face her, and I do rather well. There is a limit to her damage pre-ult, and post ult you should have upgraded boots to help deal with her dashing around.

There are other ways to deal with her, but this is what works for me. Try not looking at the strengths of her kit as if they are unbeatable, alright? Each thing can be beaten if you are willing to learn how.

Chogath Jax Skarner Rammus Tryndamere Pantheon Malphite do quite well.

mind you she scales off ad, so any combo will do. she builds tanky?

then kite her....

is this tank fiora or regular fiora that we're talking about? because if it's regular fiora just melt her face off in 1 second and try to outplay her parry. tank fiora is just broken lol but if you want someone that has potential to outduel fiora there's Yasuo and Aatrox EDIT: also lifesteal works pretty well against her

http://champion.gg/champion/Fiora 20% of Fiora's damage ends up being from her passive. 70% of her damage is still affected by armor. 80% of her damage is still affected by increasing your hp.

Which time in play you are talking about? laning phase? mid game? lat game?

Most champions won't be able to duel her regardless of what you build on them. Working as intended.

If you want to duel her as a top laner play shit like Tryndamere or Nasus, since they can also lane against her just fine (compared to Jax, who can potentially 1v1 her late game but may or may not do well in lane, I've heard varied opinions). Both will be able to take her 1v1 late game.

I can't think of anyone else who goes top lane that can 1v1 her though. But then, you're not intended to.

In lane, plenty of champs can beat her. Try to back off when her vital is facing towards her, hug the wall the vital is on to deprive her of them, if you can bait her riposte she's a lot weaker in an all-in or trade, etc. Early game Fiora isn't particularly scary unless you late her poke you with Q for free. When she goes in for a poke, trade back.

I've been having a lot of fun with sion against her...

Get a item 3512 item 3075 item 3047 item 3143 item 3748

Your Q charge is so long that if she parry's too early you can just keep charging, your shield buffers damage, ZZrot farms for you, and if you get in too deep just ulti out after hitting an e... she can't outmove that.
