Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-4 belong to Fiora. She walks up with Q Lunge, procs her passive Vitals for true damage, and holds W Riposte to parry and stun whatever you commit — including your Q Ritual Nails cast or your W Soul Ignition all-in. Farm carefully, keep your E Ashen Pursuit up as an escape, and never blow a key ability while her Riposte is available.
