Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1FioraFiora Q-dashes in and procs vitals for percent-HP true damage while you're stuck in melee with no dash and one Q skillshot — concede this stage.
Level 2FioraShe still owns it: only Q and one W point online, so you can't answer a vital proc or extended trade before your passive goes ranged at 6.
Level 3Even / skillIt's genuinely even — your W sustain and Q's armor/MR shred start to stabilize trades, but her Q dash plus vitals still match your damage.
Levels 4-5FioraPre-6 she can still Q-in and all-in you before Divine Ascent goes ranged, and her W can parry your Q skillshot for a stun.
Level 6KayleDivine Ascent makes your autos ranged with AoE waves and R invulnerability blanks her all-in — you finally kite her Q.
First itemKayleNashor's plus on-hit E missing-health damage gives you ranged DPS that out-trades her once you hold spacing past her Q dash.
Two+ itemsKayleYour fully-ranged level-16 kit and E missing-health damage make you a hyper-carry that kites her off the splitpush — just keep R for her engage.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-5 are the scariest part of your game and Fiora is the textbook reason why — she Q-dashes into range, procs her passive vitals for percent-max-HP true damage, and you answer with melee-range autos, no dash, and just one Q skillshot plus a single point of W to heal it back. Do not stand and trade; last-hit at the edge of your range and give up CS rather than eat a vital proc you cannot trade back. Watch her W — she can parry your Q and stun you, so do not throw that skillshot into an obvious all-in. Just survive to 6.
