Favour timeline — the windows in Fiora's game plan

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

This is Fiora's own plan; across 619 pooled games the lane is Warwick-favoured.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1FioraHis passive lifesteal is near-zero at level 1 and he has no gap-closer — your Q-Vital poke and the Riposte threat win the short trade outright.
Level 2FioraYour level 2 Q-Vital chunk lands before his Q heal matters, and Vital move-speed re-marks keep you spaced out of his trade-back.
Level 3FioraQ into the Bladework crit gives you a guaranteed full-Vital combo Warwick has no point-and-click answer to until his sustain scales.
Levels 4-5Even / skillHis Q heal, below-50% passive and a 15s Primal Howl (2.5s damage reduction into a 1s fear) come online — early anti-heal keeps it a coinflip.
Level 6Even / skillHis R suppress is a coinflip you can Riposte into a stun — but if your W is down he locks you for the full drain, so it cuts both ways.
First itemEven / skillRavenous Hydra and true-damage Vitals still shred his HP, yet his Q heal and below-50% passive start sustaining through your burst — an even window.
Two+ itemsWarwickHis drain-tank build and below-50% passive out-heal your lifesteal in long fights and Blood Hunt lets him chase, so he reclaims this stage unless you've already snowballed.

How to beat Warwick as Fiora: the early game

His passive lifesteal barely exists at level 1 and he has no gap-closer to punish you, so this is your window — proc Vitals on every step to farm and chunk him for free. At 2-3 your Q into the Bladework crit lands a full Vital combo Warwick simply cannot trade back into without a point-and-click. Don't burn Lunge chasing through his Q range, and rush an anti-heal component so his Q and passive heals can't erase the lead you build.
