Parry his Q-knockup and vitals-shred his stacked tankiness — once you bait the W-tank window he can't survive your ult.
Track: K'Sante's R — All Out (120–80s cooldown). His duelist mode. Duel when it’s down.
Read from Fiora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against K'Sante.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Fiora | You own the strongest level 1 and his percent-max-HP passive only feeds your Vital true damage — poke with Q and threaten the early Riposte. |
| Level 2 | Fiora | Q-in for a Vital is free pressure; his W block and third-cast Q knockup are his only tools and you can bait both before committing. |
| Level 3 | Fiora | Your Q-E combo lands a guaranteed-crit Vital before his bonus HP scales, and parrying his Q knockup turns it into your free stun window. |
| Levels 4-5 | Fiora | You chain low-cooldown Lunges off each Vital proc faster than his W block-dash recharges — engage when his dash is down. |
| Level 6 | Fiora | Grand Challenge marks all four Vitals and the heal zone wins the skirmish; his R isolate strips his own armor and MR straight into your true damage. |
| First item | Fiora | Vital true damage ignores the armor and HP from his first tank item and Ravenous Hydra adds the burst — force the all-in and splitpush now. |
| Two+ items | K'Sante | At two items K'Sante becomes a real fighter who out-sustains and CC-chains your combo with R and refreshed W — play safe and end the game before this window. |
K'Sante has no clean answer to your level 2-3 spike: Q-in, E so the guaranteed-crit second auto pops a Vital, and his percent-max-HP passive only feeds your true damage. His early defensive tools are W (block + dash) and his third-cast Q knockup, so the whole lane is a parry game — hold Riposte for that Q knockup and the return STUN lets you combo uncontested. Don't burn W on his basic autos; bait the knockup, parry it, then chain Lunges off each Vital proc while his W dash is down.
