Favour timeline — the windows in Fiora's game plan

Read from Fiora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lillia.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1FioraShe is one of the weakest early laners and you are an elite Level 1 — your Q-Vital poke and Riposte threat win every short trade before her kite exists.
Level 2FioraQ plus an early Vital chunks her while her E (Swirlseed) slow and Q's move-speed aren't yet stacked to peel you off — and she has no dash to escape.
Level 3FioraYour Bladework guaranteed-crit Vital combo lands clean — she has no point-and-click tool to stop it.
Levels 4-5FioraYour Lunge cooldown drops off Vital procs, so a single E slow and a burst of Q move-speed can't kite you out of range.
Level 6FioraGrand Challenge's four Vitals plus the heal field clinch the all-in — and Riposte parries her R sleep into a stun because the drowsy is an immobilize.
First itemFioraRavenous Hydra peaks your splitpush and chain-Lunge pressure before two-item AP Lillia comes online.
Two+ itemsEven / skillTwo-item AP Lillia reclaims it — E slows, Q move-speed and the passive DOT kite you, and R sleep catches you out unless you've already snowballed.

How to beat Lillia as Fiora: the early game

Lillia is an off-meta top pick with a tiny early presence, and you punish that hard. At Level 1 your Q-Vital poke and the threat of Riposte win every short trade she tries; she has no dash, no point-and-click answer, and her passive Dream Dust DOT does not out-damage your Vital heal. At 2-3 land Q into a Bladework guaranteed-crit Vital and she gets chunked before her Swirlseed (E) slow and Q's move-speed are online to peel you. Don't chase her into minions where her Q branch-swing and rolling E rack up poke — make her come to last-hit and Vital her there.
