Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1FioraYou are a one-spell mage with no W leap yet while she Q-dashes onto a vital and procs true damage — you cannot trade.
Level 2FioraShe gets Q-dash spacing and vital pressure online before your E, so any spell you throw to farm invites a free vital proc.
Level 3Even / skillWith Q, E, and passive sustain you can finally poke at max range, but lead with a damage cast and Riposte stuns you — a coin-flip you keep even at best.
Levels 4-5FioraHer Eclipse/early-item vital DPS plus Q mobility out-trades your pre-6 poke; without R you have no safe all-in answer.
Level 6AuroraBetween Worlds' rift slow and untargetability is your one equalizer — you zone her off your vitals and W-reset off a takedown when her Flash is down.
First itemFioraHer first-item spike plus a Riposte on your E or Q lets her all-in through your poke faster than your burst can kill her.
Two+ itemsFioraTwo-item Fiora side-lanes and out-duels you — her sustained vital true damage beats your cooldown-gated burst and one parried cast ends you.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Fiora owns these levels and you have to accept it. At Level 1 you are a single-spell mage with no W leap, so do not contest a last hit she can Q-dash onto — eat the vital, farm at range, and never trade autos. Your passive spirit-heal sustains the chip war, but it does nothing against her percent-HP vitals plus true damage, so the moment you throw Q to last-hit she dashes in and procs a vital before your recast-pull lands. Keep W up purely as a panic button, never as a trade opener, until you have E at 3.
