How to beat Fiora as Yorick: the early game

Levels 1-2 belong to Fiora — she walks up, Lunges to your revealed Vital, and her early Q damage plus the Vital heal out-trade your autos. Riposte stuns only if it blocks an immobilise and nothing in your kit immobilises, so it eats your damage but never locks you down. Farm defensively with Last Rites, give ground rather than feed Vitals, and buy Grievous Wounds early.
