Favour timeline — the windows in Fiora's game plan

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

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1FioraYou are one of the strongest level-1 duelists — Q-Vital poke plus the threat of Riposte beat his single Undertow axe before his Vicious Strikes sustain is online.
Level 2FioraYour Q-into-E combo lands a guaranteed Bladework crit on a Vital, and his axe-and-walk-up trade can't answer that burst yet.
Level 3FioraSidestep the Undertow axe (Q) and Lunge in — his slow is wasted and your chained Vital procs out-trade him while his lifesteal is still small.
Levels 4-5FioraYour Lunge cooldown refunds off every Vital, so you keep re-engaging a pre-6 Olaf who has no dash to dodge your Vitals.
Level 6Even / skillRagnarok makes him CC-immune, so your Riposte returns no stun in his R window — the level-6 all-in is even, not yours.
First itemFioraYour Trinity Force / Ravenous Hydra spike out-DPSes his Tough It Out shield in a straight duel — force it on Ragnarok's 100s cooldown and you win.
Two+ itemsFioraVital deals a percent of his max HP as true damage and ignores his armor, so you only get scarier as he builds bulk — just never all-in into an active R.

How to beat Olaf as Fiora: the early game

Olaf's early game runs on Undertow (Q) — it slows you so he can stick for a Tough It Out (W) trade, and when it lands he can walk over the axe to reset its 9s cooldown outright. The trade rule is simple: sidestep the axe and his pressure collapses, because he has to walk over to retrieve it and his slow is gone. When he whiffs, Lunge in, weave your E Bladework crit into a Vital, and chunk him before he recovers. Your level 2-3 combo beats his — just don't stand in the axe and don't trade into his W shield when he's at full health.
