Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and wave control, using Q and E to poke while maintaining distance from Fiora's engage range.
- Post-6 you still have the advantage if you play around your R correctly, but must respect her parry timing and potential to turn fights.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves placing E on minions to spread to her, then following up with Q when she tries to engage or clear the infection.
- Use W voidlings to zone her from extended trades and maintain your passive shield for safety.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or neutral wave state, using your abilities to clear waves efficiently while poking her down.
- Avoid hard shoving early unless you have vision, as it makes you vulnerable to her all-ins when the wave bounces back.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use your R immediately when she engages - wait for her to use W first or bait it out with other abilities.
- Getting your ultimate parried not only wastes your main engage tool but also gives her a powerful stun to turn the fight around.
