Talk:Fiora/@comment-9318407-20130509110401

I've been playing Fiora lately, I don't think she's OP nor is she UP but her play style is just rather different. Important tips while playing fiora is :-

1. Never go in head first

2. Go straight for the enemy carry

3. Don't aim tanks (Unless you have BotRK/Last whisper (if they stacked armor))

4. During laning phase, try to time W properly and trade only when you know you can. Otherwise, be passive and call jungle.

5. ALWAYS ward your lane. Fiora has no escape mechanism.

6. If you're being chased, try activating E, double lunge to the enemy and run away with MS buff.

7. Don't use your R as a starter. Use it as a finisher/breath taker(avoid damage)/lifesteal purpose.

I start with Cloth armor -> 2 health pots and 1 ward for AD lanes.

Against passive lanes I run health regen pendant thing + ward + pots.

Against AP lanes, I'd run flask + pot + ward. (Unless you think you can own the lane, try going Boot + 3 pots (or 1 pot 1 ward) or long sword + 2 pots).

Summoners : Ghost + Exhaust

Item Build : Really really subjective.

Core : BotRK / Boots / Last Whisper (if they have >100 armor)

Problems with AP enemies, get Hexdrinker as priority before BotRK.

My builds usually include : BotRK, AS Boots, LW, Maw, GA, Hydra (sometimes), IE.

If your top enemy keeps freezing the lane, try to get wolves / gank mid lane / steal opponent wraiths. Having jungler to gank your lane also really really helps a LOT!

I was wondering if anyone could clarify on rushing Ravenous Hydra? Is it worth it? Personally I'd build a BotRK first because it just adds so much damage. If they build armor, I'd get a LW next. Then only I'd consider Hydra/Maw/IE. GA when you're pwning enough and can't afford to die.
