Read from Fiora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Cassiopeia.
This is Fiora's own plan; across 253 pooled games the lane is leaning Fiora.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Fiora | You are a top-tier level-1 duelist and she has no Miasma, little poison and no escape yet — Q in for a Vital and win the first short trade outright. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | With one rank in Q and Bladework (E) you can still threaten a guaranteed-crit Vital, but the instant she ranks Miasma the trade math tips toward even — bait the ground field, do not eat it. |
| Level 3 | Cassiopeia | Now she has Miasma to ground your Lunge plus Noxious Blast and Twin Fang out-ranging you — she pokes you off the wave and you cannot close, so farm at the tip of Q. |
| Levels 4-5 | Cassiopeia | She chains Miasma grounding and Twin Fang poison while her Noxious Blast slow kites your Lunges — trade only when her Miasma is on cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Cassiopeia | Petrifying Gaze (R) is a frontal face-stun that locks you mid-dash while her poison finishes you — do not Lunge in facing her, hold Riposte to parry it into a stun on her. |
| First item | Cassiopeia | Her Liandry's-plus-Rylai's poison out-DPSes your Vital heals at one item and she still has R to blank your all-in — wait for a flank or a gank, do not duel her straight. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | At two-plus items she out-scales you as a kiting AP carry — your side-lane flank with R and the heal zone can still one-shot an immobile Cassiopeia if you catch her, but on even terms she wins the open fight, so pick your window or let your team peel. |
Level 1 is yours — you are one of the best level-1 duelists in the game and she has no Miasma, little poison and no escape yet, so Q in for a Vital and make her flinch off the first wave. The moment she hits 2-3 it flips: Miasma (W) is a ground zone that cancels your Lunge dash, and her Noxious Blast plus Twin Fang poke out-ranges you, so stop walking up raw and last-hit at the tip of Q. Do NOT burn Riposte on a poison tick — it blocks one instance, not her damage-over-time, and you need it saved for her R.
