- The Vitals are visible to all units.
- A Vital's angle is fixed to the champion's model and doesn't interact with its orientation.
- Vitals spawn directions alternate in a Northeast-Southwest pattern. Other than that, they have a 50% chance to spawn North or East, or South or West, respectively.
- 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 The direction of the first Vital upon Fiora and her enemy encountering one another in the game for the first time is always South- or Westward. This is regardless of whether Fiora is in the Blue or Red team.

- Lunge deals basic damage, but also triggers spell effects by dealing an additional 0 spell damage.

- Fiora can cast
- The dash can pass through walls.
- Lunge's dash speed is affected by movement speed.
- Riposte is not invulnerability but instead reduces any damage to her by 100% late into the damage event. Because of this, it interacts differently with effects triggered from damage:
- Life steal and Healing based on damage dealt (Vamp) will still have effect even if the damage is ultimately ignored by Riposte.
- Shields will absorb damage before Riposte takes effect.
- Fiora cannot be executed by Pyke's Death from Below during Riposte but she can by Aspect of the Dragon.
- Riposte will not negate allied crowd control.
- Riposte will not negate nearsight.
- Immobilizing effects include those from Blast Cone (only if triggered by an enemy) and epic monsters.

- Riposte is and is not prioritized over certain effects:
- Riposte will block effects before spell shields.
- Black Shield will negate crowd control before Riposte.
- Riposte will not be able to apply its stun, as it requires Riposte to negate the immobilize and not any other external source to do so.
- Riposte will not be able to apply its
- Riposte will block effects before

The most feared duelist in all Valoran, Fiora is as renowned for her brusque manner and cunning mind as she is for the speed of her bluesteel rapier. Born to House Laurent in the kingdom of Demacia, Fiora took control of the family from her father in the wake of a scandal that nearly destroyed them. House Laurent's reputation was sundered, but Fiora bends her every effort to restore her family's honor and return them to their rightful place among the great and good of Demacia.

- Fiora identifies the Vitals of all nearby enemy champions, which consists of a 90° section of the target's hit box. Vitals take 0.5 second to identify and last for 15 seconds, after which she will immediately begin identifying a new Vital. Basic attacks against Vitals deal bonus true damage, as well as restoring a small amount of health and granting a short burst of speed.
- Lunge (Q)
- Active: Fiora lunges forward a short distance in the target direction, then lunges again to strike a nearby enemy dealing physical damage and applying on-hit effects. The second lunge is auto-targeted and prioritizes exposed Vitals.

- Active: Fiora targets an enemy champion, highlighting all four of their Vitals for the next few seconds. If Fiora is able to attack all four Vitals, or if she destroys at least one before the target dies, Fiora creates a ~600 radius zone that substantially heals Fiora and allies within the area over the next 5 seconds. While within 600 units of her target and while within the healing zone, Fiora gains bonus movement speed. Duelist's Dance will not identify new Vitals while Fiora's target has at least one exposed.
