Talk:Fiora/@comment-25223119-20150808113449

It seems like a majority of Fiora players still pushing for straight up AD damage, she is more suited to playing a sustained-bruiser like playstyle where her damage comes from her passive. I've played about 5 games with the New Fiora whilst having little to no experience with Old Fiora because my melee basics sucks.

But I find bruiser Fiora much more foolproof for noob tops like me. I'm just very confused her rune set ups and item builds. Your generic Fiora guides suggests Armor Pen x 9, Armor Seals x 9, and Cooldown Glyps x 9 plus Quints x 3 (Either AD, Lifesteal or Cooldown). This is the part where I don't get or simply cannot imagine. I understand Fiora's cooldowns in early game is super long, but wouldn't taking cooldown glyphs hurt her more? Especially when you trade with AP tops.

I have built standard AD to no avail. People recommend Tiamat as a core, boots, followed by Tri Force, and standard AD items like LW, IE, PD (either two),  finishing in Hydra and Randuins as a last item. For some reason, Fiora can go so much items and do well but not all items compliment her as a melee.

For example, LW and IE are the least necessary in my opinion. Triforce is more or less debatable and I have no idea what to do with it. For now I am still following generic guides, but slowly making my own item build.

I find these items are very fool proof for me, Black Cleaver, Tri Force (Phage component), BT, PD (Zeal Component)

Items like Hydra and Boots of Lucidity ... I don't really have much comments on them at all..

I take spells like Exhaust and Flash, and enjoy playing by her vitals.

Perhaps next I'll build, BC, Tri Force, BotRK, PD, Merc Treads/Ninja Tabi, Youmuu?

Is it just me? Or do I find Hydra not attractive at all? 60% of Fiora's damage currently comes from her passive,don't you think?
