Favour timeline — the windows in Sejuani's game plan

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

This is Sejuani's own plan; across 276 pooled games the lane is leaning Sejuani.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1FioraFiora's Q dashes onto a vital before you have a Frost stack to detonate — she wins the level-1 poke war without ever standing still long enough for Permafrost.
Level 2FioraAt level 2 she has Riposte and you have Arctic Assault: she parries the dash, stuns you, and procs a second vital on a locked-down target — never Q into a ready W.
Level 3FioraFull Riposte access plus a vital stack lead means she out-trades the level-3 Permafrost chain — bait the parry window before you spend your CC.
Levels 4-5Even / skillNeither of you has a clean kill window: her Riposte neutralizes your CC attempts and your passive armor prevents her from all-inning you — play for jungler timing.
Level 6Even / skillGlacial Prison from outside Riposte range is your first genuine threat — throw the comet before she closes, then chain Permafrost after the stun lands if she burned W on the projectile.
First itemEven / skillHer Ravenous Hydra spike lets her proc vitals faster than your Frost builds — the 1v1 is still hers, but your CC uptime in 2v2 skirmishes turns every gank into a kill.
Two+ itemsSejuaniAt full tank items Fiora cannot 1v1 you fast enough to avoid the Glacial Prison chain — you win the teamfight lockdown she cannot duel her way around.

How to beat Fiora as Sejuani: the early game

Levels 1 through 3 are a controlled concession — Fiora's Q poke is free because she dashes onto a vital and is gone before your W can apply a second Frost stack. Stand just behind the wave so her Q reach forces her to overextend, last-hit with W shard range, and do not step forward to trade without a full Frost stack already on her. At level 3 you have the Q-W-E chain, but she has Riposte: if she is sitting on the button, opening with Arctic Assault hands her a stun and she gets a full vital rotation on a stunned tank, which is a losing trade. Instead, fake the Q approach to bait the Riposte animation, then immediately chain W into Permafrost while she is locked out of it.
