Introduction
I made this guide because I couldn't find any I really liked, so I wanted to share my point of view on how to play

BTW, my build isn't based on crits. I'd rather go pure ad (but it can change, depending on how the game is going (= you're fed).
WHEREVER YOU ARE, YOU HAVE TO FARM !
Fiora has a really strong farming potential, try to get the best of it !
MID
You managed to have the mid lane. We suppose you'll be facing against an AP Carry, otherwise go to the Top section.
At the mid lane, you need to be able to burst the opponent quickly. Therefore, max her

By level 2, if the opponent has some kind of high damage on auto attack (eg.

By this moment, and even before if you are farming the ennemy laner, you can and HAVE to gank other lanes. Fiora has a strong gank potential, but also needs to farm a lot. That's why I consider midlane to be the best if you know you can handle it. Remember this :)
You should be able to kill both ennemies bot, allowing your team to easily win at least bot and mid. You can obviously gank top, even more if he's failing and/or pushing too much.
Try to focus on the lanes which are losing hard and remember that your jungler can't be everywhere.
DON'T DO THIS IF YOU'RE LOSING YOUR OWN LANE OBVIOUSLY :)
TOP
Here you will likely be facing an AD, so start with Cloth Armor






I also like to harass him the same way I do for midlane, with maxing

Here a wriggle

Try to help your mid if he's failing, or try to counter jungle (trying to check Red/Blue buff by the 9'/7' mark is never something bad !).
DON'T DO THIS IF YOU'RE LOSING YOUR OWN LANE OBVIOUSLY :)
TEAMFIGHTS
Focus the ad/ap carry. As I said before, NEVER ENGAGE WITH YOUR ULT, except for a pentakill...
Use your



That's also why I love buying a

By playing I got some tips (if ppl has not figured that out already) that can be nice if I share.






Another thing, your ult wont cancel DoT, so if you got ignited or ganked by


Always pop


Now what I believe be a bug:




Now a hard one to master: try to use smart cast on her



Well that's all for now :D
I have to say that i've always, since her release, played her in smartcast, play with ALL your skills in smartcast (not needed for





TL;DR : Smarcast IS a thing you HAVE TO master with
Fiora, at least following this guide !
First of all, remember that the main part of this guide is playing mid lane
Therefore i go for burst damage since a classic midlaner won't let you auto attack him !

Cooldown: 16 / 14 / 12 / 10 / 8 seconds
Physical Damage: 40 / 65 / 90 / 115 / 140 (+0.6 per bonus attack damage)[/color]
At lvl 1 you should have around 70 ad (picking lunge first) => 40+42=82 * 2 = 164 damage lvl 1
For a classic midlaner, it'll get to 124 with his basic armor
BUT you also add at least one auto attack on each gap closer => 124+(70-20)*2= 224 damage by level 1
So yes, fiora as a great burst potential, and since you're mid, you won't auto attack that much => e doesn't need to be maxed first
Each time you harrass with your lunge, you deals significant damage, deals at least 2 auto attacks and trigger 4 stacks of your passive. Imo there's enough synergy here to sustain yourself through harrasing.
Moreover, a

And i'd like to say that if you auto attack with your

Imo Fiora as a strong burst potential : with my build,
you are able to take down a squishy enemy simply by
Lunge->aa->
Lunge->aa->
Blade Waltz->
Ignite
...Killing the carry is your job, and this is the right way to do it before he deals significant damage (for example with my build i os a kog maw, with yours i'm not sure that you'll win an 1v1 against him just by auto attackin)
But once you killed the carry, the items i give allow you to deal significant damage with your aa, since you have enough sustain and as with a



I TOTALLY disagree : i never lost a mid or a top playing this way (and i never max


Strongest :
Other viable choice
![]() Can be a good choice if you're not going for sustain and want to win 1v1 or survive a dive. |
SPACE |
![]() You have your E. But can be used as a great escape tool or to chase a faster ennemy. |
SPACE |
![]() Can be replaced by a ![]() |
The others are useless for you (except smite, but there are other chars who are better jungler with stronger ganks)
Since


BURST DAMAGE BUILD :
TANKY/DPS BUILD :
CARRY BUILD :
CORE
Defensive items :


Banshee veil Another good option, but require better placement skills


For Sustain and Lifesteal


If you're pretty much fed, go for both :D
BOOTS



ALTERNATIVES CHOICES :







Being denied

Quintessences :
Since you're playing an ad char, it seems quite appropriate to go for ArPen here. Moreover, I chose to pick ad marks, to mix arPen and attack damage hereGreater Quint of Swiftness can also be a good choice, so you can stay w/o upgrading boots and give you nice ms to gank/avoid ganks/harrass more with AA
Usually, go for either :
3 * Greater Quintessence of Desolation + 9 *

OR
3 *

Seals :
Go for armor, to have much resistance against the ennemies ad, and strong early game9 *

You can also pick hp seals, either flat or per level, as you want if you think it'll improve your survivability
Glyph :
Since i love playing fiora mid, picking magic resist is quite obvious. It's also useful for tf, even if not playing mid9 *

If you have any suggestions for other glyph, you can comment to post them !
As you can see it, i go for flat runes : in my opinion, fiora is a snowball char => if you can grab some kills early game, you will literally roll over the ennemy team.
Win early game and you will own late.
Classic 21/9/0
Go for the 4 points in




Give Fiora mid a try, and let me now how was your game ! Ask questions if you want to, and try to bring constructives objections !
Thanks to jhoijhoi for his "how to make a guide", and kOrtiah for helping me redacting it !
