NEVER Lose Against Darius Again! Masters Fiora Matchup Guide

[@cosimogrujic753]

Extremely nice guide, thank you Wolf, it gives alot of interesting informatons

[@bacardibatman2996]

Darius has become one of my favorite matchups, because it feels skill based while being winnable

[@brennenwolf]

Its a very Daunting Match up when you are first Learning Fiora for sure!

[@KruzixTTV]

Great video!

[@brennenwolf]

Thank you my friend, I hope it helps you out in your Solo Q Grind :)

[@KruzixTTV]

@BrennenWolf I'm actually having a very hard time knowing when to engage and not too.

[@KruzixTTV]

@@brennenwolf sadly I'm still terrible after 100 games

[@benjaminstafford1496]

And what do you do if you can't react fast enough to flash or "W" his pull or "R"?...

[@brennenwolf]

Parry his auto reset! Typically just parrying his auto attack once he pulls you will stop him from using his AA

[@zinedzouag3713]

is it grasp always avaible in this matchup even after nerf ?

[@brennenwolf]

Ive been taking Conq Recently but Grasp and Divine is much Safer

[@giomkervalidze]

u lose lvl1 if he lvls W but u win lvl2 as long as u parry his W(he will always auto+W for a aa reset) and ignite him instantly. this slow, ignite, attack speed decrease pressure will give him a no chance to fight you back. on top of that darius Q animation is slow enough to see it and Q into it, so you wont get bleed stack from it and make the trade pretty much unlosable for you even thought if he have E and W up (you have W still). so only way to lose 1by1 after lvl2 is if he ghosts insantly during trade, spaces his auto attacks perfectly and kates you out of your passive vitals, extends trade and then beats you with his high base stats early on. but later on, once you get 1item or more, this matchup becomes pretty dumb on sidelane, bcs of your high mobility, passive damage and dueling potention. but the thing is, when u trying to all in him in lane, its very important to hit him in the vital on your first attack and make sure his bone plating is down.

[@drawwithme_yt5561]

if i play divine in laning phase he can kill me easier in jungle teamfights than if i play Trinity no? I have the impression that even if u bully darius in lane with grasp u dont have enought damage to 1v1 later in jungle fights???

[@brennenwolf]

5 Vital Ulti, you're looking for pokes with Q + Divine, so even in jungle you just do a little bit of kiting, before you ult and then you're good to go, but at the moment tri force is very good and you can build that as well

[@drage7082]

I always go conditioning or nilbus into darius because second wind is just such a bad rune after first recall I also go conq because it gives so much unexpected damage that allows you to onetap darius

[@DannyMatt88]

Why show Darius runes at start and not Fioras'?

[@brennenwolf]

Fiora Runes are showed at 30 Seconds

[@DannyMatt88]

@@brennenwolf maybe I just got confused because the Rune page is conquer but the Fiora is playing Grasp

[@nyxzebq]

it's fun when matching with darius.

[@brennenwolf]

Do you actually like Laning into Darius as FIora?

[@nyxzebq]

@@brennenwolf yep lil bit tricky but definitely winnable

[@brennoraphael1974]

hey, love your videos and the effort to make us a better fiora player lol. what are the hard matchups for fiora? and what should i ban?

[@2ndAttemptPOG]

We have a video about that in the works, but Brennen bans GP. Generally Fiora has a hard time against champions like Malphite, Quinn, WW, Kennen, Jayce (if he has a brain) etc.. Fiora does struggle vs ranged champs, esp if they have mobility.

[@brennoraphael1974]

yeah so im trying to master fiora and i dont actually know what to ban. i usually ban jax because i had a hard time against one before and it felt like there was no counter play anyways, ty so much for your words and im looking forward to that video!

[@abdullahalojado3638]

Gp is piss easy with grasp, as well as quinn. Jayce, kennen, and graves r trickier matchups imo Ww u never all-in unless ahead, just control distance and proc grasp again and again because ur q outranges his q Malphite with a brain can be quite tricky but a triforce build with a qw engage into his q provided u aren't at lethal range kills him Tldr just go grasp on harder matchups, wait until 6 then all in. I personally build triforce on pretty much any matchup now and that item's ms helps a lot

[@brennenwolf]

Actually Writing a Script for this Video right now, But I typically ban GP, it can be pretty tough to manage his sustain and Ranged damage, and all in at level 6 is also quite difficult due to his ulti, theres just so many Check Boxes to check before you can actually go for a kill on him... I would say you are pretty safe banning Akshan, GP, Teemo, Sett, Vayne, or kennen, I have a Match up Guide for the Jax lane, You should check it out it might help

[@anakinskywalker212]

This darius is pretty passive early lvls tbh

[@brennenwolf]

With Fiora you're able to keep a distance that makes it hard for him to go him, Thats kind of the playstyle you want to stick to tho, Max Range Q Vital Pokes until hes chunked down to a comfortable enough HP That allows you to go for the all in!

[@otakujanaikara8720]

thanks

[@brennenwolf]

Thank you for watching and for the comment!

[@AlexandrBorschchev]

me: a darius otp sneaking for fiora player's "secrets" ;))

[@fish4096]

hm... grasp. Interesting I never have enough dmg against a darius running grasp for me tho personally. And it's not like you are getting a free grasp stack against this match up either, I like saving my lunge for his Q I prefer conq in this match up

[@brennenwolf]

Conq is fine as well! The new and Improved Tri Force works quite well into him

[@pinoyrealm4891]

hey I think your wrong, Fiora is strong against darius on lvl 1, she can 1 v 1 dude, I want to correct your tutorial dude, on lvl 1 you can haras the darius already if you have ignite tsk

[@brennenwolf]

Thats totally okay to think that

[@philiplam2003]

Actual the key is the ruins, this case should be poke a bit rather then fight as it easy to lose if darius W first even ignite on
