Read from Cho'Gath's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Fiora.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Both of you are soft at Level 1 — she has no vital pressure yet and you have no Q-W combo, so just farm and set up the wave. |
| Level 2 | Fiora | Her Q dash plus a charged Riposte make this her window — she can parry your Rupture knockup and all-in before your kit comes online. |
| Level 3 | Fiora | You're still slow and skillshot-dependent while she dashes around stacking vitals; concede the trade and last-hit at Vorpal Spikes range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Carnivore sustain and your Q-W combo stabilize you once it's online — bait her W and the lane sits roughly even as you farm. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Feast (R) is a true-damage execute that ignores her items — your one clean kill threat if she walks in greedy for a vital at 6. |
| First item | Fiora | Carnivore sustain plus early Feast stacks let you stand on the wave and farm safely, dragging the lane back to even. |
| Two+ items | Fiora | Her passive vitals deal percent-max-HP true damage that bypasses your Feast HP — she out-duels you 1v1 late, so teamfight instead. |
Fiora's early game is built around parrying your one big cast: Riposte (W) eats your Rupture (Q) knockup or your Feral Scream (W) silence and stuns you back, so never throw Q at her while her W is up. Last-hit at Vorpal Spikes (E) range and lean on Carnivore sustain to out-heal her vital pokes — do not step into her Q dash for a trade you can't finish without your combo. Levels 2-3 are your worst window: she's mobile and you're skillshot-dependent, so just farm and concede the early pressure.
