How to play
Hit exposed vitals in short trades Move around your opponent to reach the marked side, then back away after the hit.
Save your parry for their key spell Use your 2nd ability as a stun or heavy hit arrives to block it, instead of spending it for a little extra damage.
Pressure a side lane Look for one-on-one fights and towers, but back off when several enemies disappear from the map.

Strengths
- Excellent one-on-one scaling makes her a major side-lane threat once her core items are complete.
- Riposte (2nd) flips fights, turning the enemy's key stun or engage against them.
- Elite split pusher whose pressure forces two people to answer or a tower to fall.
Weaknesses
- Weak early game, and a Fiora who falls behind has very little to offer her team.
- Mostly single-target: in grouped fights her impact depends on reaching the right person.
- Depends completely on the parry: misread it and she loses trades she was supposed to win.
Fiora Baron Lane Wild Rift best build, items, runes, summoner spells, and skill order
ITEM BUILD
Best Wild Rift build for Fiora Baron Lane, including items, runes, summoner spells, and skill order.
STARTING ITEM
Simple early attack damage. It pays off twice on her, since her Vital true damage also scales with bonus attack damage.
BOOTS
The omnivamp adds to the healing her Vitals already give her, so she can keep duelling without recalling.
CORE BUILD
Buy first for Fiora's short trades. Lunge (1st) into an attack gives the two quick hits needed to trigger max-health physical damage and a shield, helping her absorb the return damage before backing away.
Buy second after Eclipse. Spellblade strengthens Fiora's ability-and-attack trades, and the movement speed helps her circle a target to reach the Vital she wants.
Buy third after Trinity Force. Health, attack damage and movement speed support Fiora's side-lane pressure, with every fourth attack landing heavy on a champion or a structure. The armor and magic resist go to her nearby siege and super minions, so the wave keeps pushing and draws a defender into a duel.
Spreads burst damage out over a few seconds, which gives her Vital healing time to catch up in a duel she opened losing.
Build this when a duel turns into a grouped fight and Fiora needs both armor and magic resist. Riposte (2nd) covers the opening burst, then Twinguard activates while she works through Grand Challenge (Ult) vitals.
SITUATIONAL ITEMS
Percent current health damage on every attack, which stacks with the max health true damage her Vitals already deal.
Take this over Death's Dance when Fiora can trade armor for more frequent basic ability casts in extended duels. Ability haste means more Lunge (1st) casts, while keeping Eclipse, Trinity Force and Hullbreaker as the opening core.
Build this when the enemy team has several melee champions, since they stay packed tight enough for one active to catch a few at once. It heals more for each enemy it hits, for the fights where her ultimate drops her into a group instead of a duel.
Build this when the enemy has shields that absorb the burst from hitting several Vitals in a row.
Build this against heavy magic burst, which her parry only answers if she reads the exact cast.
Build this when crowd control keeps landing on her. Her parry only covers a short window, so this answers what she cannot read.
Replace Hullbreaker when grouped fights matter more than side-lane pressure and Fiora needs time to reach more vitals. Health, permanent Tenacity, and a bonus-Health Lifeline shield help you survive the return damage. Choose this or Maw of Malmortius for your Lifeline slot.
Replace Death's Dance when Fiora's side-lane opponent or the fed enemy carry relies on crit attacks. Reduces physical critical-strike damage, so prioritize it against fed crit carries rather than purely on-hit damage.
Replace Death's Dance when sustained magic damage outlasts Fiora's single parry window. Repeated champion magic damage stacks extra Magic Resistance and movement speed, making it a sustained-magic-damage answer.
Replace Hullbreaker when Fiora must suppress healing in the duel; keep applying physical attacks rather than relying on vital true damage alone. Physical damage applies Grievous Wounds while Health and haste suit a bruiser. Buy Executioner's Calling first if healing is urgent, then finish after your early core.
RUNES
KEYSTONE
Her trades are repeated short walk-ups onto a Vital rather than one long fight, which is the rhythm this rewards.
PRIMARY
Winning a side lane duel only matters if the tower follows, and her Q (1st) makes reaching it easy. Three attacks trigger the bonus turret damage.
Her parry answers one spell, and this covers the poke thrown at her the rest of the time.
Take this against teams whose crowd control prevents the champion's key follow-up. Its tenacity shortens most disables and grants temporary defenses while immobilized. The shorter disable helps Fiora reach the next Grand Challenge (Ult) vital when Riposte (2nd) cannot cover the entire crowd-control chain.
SECONDARY
Her Q (1st) is a dash, so the bonus true damage lands on the strike that follows.
SITUATIONAL RUNES
Take this over Second Wind against an all-in lane. Bone Plating covers the parts of a burst sequence Riposte (2nd) cannot block while Fiora repositions for another vital.
Take this over Grasp when the lane is a long fight against a tankier champion rather than short trades.
Take this over Perseverance when the enemy composition points to long teamfights. Extra maximum health helps Fiora reach more vitals after Grand Challenge (Ult) starts.
Take this over Sudden Impact for long side-lane duels against durable opponents. More frequent Lunge (1st) and Riposte (2nd) casts help Fiora reach the next vital while keeping a defensive answer available for the enemy's key spell.
SUMMONER SPELLS
MAIN SPELLS
Flash
Must take. Vitals appear around the target, and Flash is how she reaches the one on the far side before it expires.
Ignite
Take this for early kill pressure in the solo lane, since one kill is usually enough to start snowballing it. The Grievous Wounds also makes it strong into champions with a lot of healing.
SITUATIONAL SPELLS
Teleport
Take this over Ignite into a lane you cannot beat early. She only needs to reach her items to start winning every side lane duel.

Fiora Baron Lane Wild Rift matchups and counters
Wild Rift matchup guide for Fiora Baron Lane, covering favorable lanes and difficult counters to prepare for in ranked.
Good Matchups
These champions are favorable matchups for this pick in Wild Rift. You have advantages against them and can play more aggressively.
Sion
Sion's maximum-health build increases Fiora's Vital damage, and the long charge on Decimating Smash (1st) gives Riposte (2nd) a readable crowd-control window that can stun him. Step around the shield instead of wasting the full combo into it, then use Grand Challenge (Ult) during his committed charge or ultimate recovery when all four Vitals are accessible.
Dr. Mundo
Everything he builds makes your vitals hit harder, his cleavers are easy to sidestep, and outlasting you is the only threat he has.
Yone
Yone's spirit form gives him a predictable return point but does not deal snapback damage to himself. Use that position to line up a Vital, and save Riposte (2nd) for the telegraphed knockup from Mortal Steel (1st) or Fate Sealed (Ult) rather than assuming Soul Unbound (3rd) wins the trade for you.
Mordekaiser
Mordekaiser is slow, his big health pool makes your vital procs hit harder, and his shield melts faster than he can bank it; only his death realm catching you low is a real threat.
Aatrox
Riposte (2nd) can negate Aatrox's knockups or the delayed pull from Infernal Chains (2nd) and stun him if the return strike connects, but blocking only the chain's initial hit does not create a stun. Read the delayed crowd control carefully, because his World Ender (Ult) sustain wins a sloppy extended brawl.
Fiora Counters
These champions counter this pick in Wild Rift and can be difficult matchups. Learn how to play against them or consider banning them.
Malphite
Malphite's armor and Ground Slam (3rd) attack-speed reduction weaken the attacks between Vitals, while repeated Seismic Shard (1st) poke pressures Riposte (2nd) without committing. Riposte (2nd) can negate the damage and crowd control from Unstoppable Force (Ult), but Malphite himself remains unstoppable during the dash, so the timing is less forgiving than against a normal engage.
Jax
A mind game between his Counter Strike (3rd) and your Riposte (2nd): whoever reads the other wins the exchange, and he out-scales you in a pure extended duel.
Renekton
A pure early-game counter: his fury-empowered stun and front-loaded burst beat you flat through the first levels, but the duel flips hard your way once your items come online.
Sett
Grit turns the damage you deal into a true damage punch handed right back, the pull restarts fights you tried to leave, and he heals off the grit you keep filling.
