Fiora

Sharper Than Her Reputation

Across Valoran, Fiora is considered the most dangerous duelist alive. Her tongue is feared, but her bluesteel rapier is worse. Her quickness with the blade is a large part of that reputation, and most foes never survive long enough to trade a second blow.

Restoring House Laurent

Fiora comes from House Laurent, a noble family in Demacia. She seized leadership from her own father after a scandal almost wiped out the work of generations. What she inherited was less a privilege than a ruin to rebuild. The Laurent name lay broken, and Fiora now has to return it to its old place among Demacia’s great houses, in a kingdom where honor and duty outrank nearly everything.

Each duel she takes on serves that goal. Her passive, Duelist’s Dance, exposes a Vital on the champion she is facing. Hitting that Vital heals her and gives her a surge of movement speed. Lunge closes the gap and deals physical damage on hit. Riposte blocks incoming damage and then counters with a thrust that slows or stuns, depending on what she stopped. It punishes any enemy who tries to incapacitate her while it is up. Bladework quickens her next two attacks, and the second is guaranteed to crit. Her ultimate, Grand Challenge, reveals all four Vitals on one enemy champion. If she strikes every one, or if the target falls after just one Vital connects, she secures a decisive kill. It is fitting that the ability works like a condensed duel, with pinpoint precision against one opponent and nothing left to luck. Duelist’s Dance rewards restraint as much as aggression, because the speed it provides can pull Fiora out of a bad exchange just as easily as it can push her into a good one.
