Favour timeline — the windows in Olaf's game plan

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

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1FioraShe W-parries your E true damage outright and slows you off it, so first contact flips if you lead with the nuke.
Level 2FioraYour Q+E burst comes online, but a held Riposte blanks the E entirely and slows you — she edges level 2.
Level 3FioraShe Q-dashes to your flank for a vital proc and resets the short trade faster than your axe can punish at 3.
Levels 4-5FioraThrough 4-5 her parry timing and Vital healing stay ahead of your Tough It Out shield in long trades.
Level 6Even / skillRagnarok's resists plus a stuck Undertow slow force the melee all-in she kites — level 6 is genuinely even.
First itemFioraHer first-item parry plus vitals out-trade your Cleaver spike unless you've already snowballed the lane.
Two+ itemsFioraAt 2+ items her percent-HP true-damage vitals shred you while your flat E true damage falls off — she owns the duel.

How to beat Fiora as Olaf: the early game

This lane starts rough and you have to respect it: from level 1 Riposte flips any trade you lead with — it parries the whole thing, eats your Reckless Swing and slows you off it. Don't lead with the true damage. Farm with Undertow from range and take short trades only when you can track her 24s parry; if she is holding W, your Q+E burst is blanked and she Q-dashes your flank for a free Vital. Through 4-5 her parry timing and Vital healing beat the Tough It Out shield in extended trades, so treat 1-5 as damage control, not a lane to win.
