Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1FioraHer passive immediately spawns a vital and her Q dash lets her arc to any side of your body — you cannot block the proc and charged Q is too slow to punish before she collects it.
Level 2FioraTwo vitals and her Q repositioning mean every short trade deals true damage to your growing HP pool; W-shield absorbs some burst but she still wins on paper.
Level 3FioraWith all three basic abilities and practiced Riposte timing she can stun your charged Q and complete a full vital rotation in one trade window — she out-trades you cleanly here.
Levels 4-5Even / skillNeither of you has a clean advantage: your W-shield blunts her burst and you can fake-charge Q to probe her Riposte, but she can still collect vitals off spacing mistakes — it reads as a coin-flip.
Level 6FioraGrand Challenge unlocks her four-vital heal aura; if she completes the rotation over you the heal negates your zombie value and converts a won fight for her — her lethality ceiling jumps sharply at 6.
First itemSionHeartsteel and your HP passive begin compounding; your W-shield value scales with your growing pool and her vitals become a slower grind — you survive trades she previously won decisively.
Two+ itemsSionYour max-HP total is now so large that vital true damage is outpaced by your W-shield and zombie regen; with her Riposte burned you can Q-stun, E-shred, and out-sustain her attrition in the final brawl.

Early game (levels 1–5)

At level 1 her passive immediately spawns a vital — usually on your back or side — and her Q dash lets her arc around your body to collect it for percent-true-damage before you can land any meaningful damage in return. Respect the vital indicator: rotate your position constantly so she cannot simply Q straight to the glowing spot. Do not attempt a full charged-Q at levels 1 and 2; the wind-up telegraphs your intent and she will Riposte (W) the moment your Q flashes charged, stunning you and reversing the trade entirely. Use short W-shield pops to absorb her auto-vital burst and farm safely, accepting that she wins these exchanges on paper.
