Fiora vs Illaoi

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Fiora's mobility and vital procs to avoid Illaoi's tentacle zones and force isolated duels.
Manage lane pressure to deny Illaoi safe tentacle setups and avoid giving her passive scaling opportunities.

Trading pattern

Take short trades by hitting accessible vitals with (Q) and back off before Illaoi can retaliate with tentacles.
Use (W) to parry (E) or tentacle damage, then punish her cooldown window.
After hitting (R), commit to extended duels where Fiora can chase and proc multiple vitals, forcing Illaoi to fight on unfavorable terms.

Danger windows

Illaoi is most dangerous when (E) lands near tentacles; avoid walking into her spirit pull range.
After Fiora uses (W), she is vulnerable to Illaoi's tentacle damage; trade cautiously until (W) is back up.
(R) creates high threat in multi-target fights near tentacles; disengage if caught in her zone post-level 6.

Early game

Focus on short trades using (Q) to proc vitals when (E) is on cooldown or missed.
Hold (W) to parry Illaoi's key tentacle slam or (E) spirit pull attempts.
Avoid extended fights near tentacles before level 6 to limit Illaoi's zone control.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to reveal vitals and extend duels, forcing Illaoi to fight outside her tentacle zones.
First dueling item spike increases Fiora's damage and sustain; pressure side lanes to isolate Illaoi.
Respect Illaoi's level 6 (R) spike when she has multiple tentacles and can turn multi-target fights; avoid clustering near tentacles.

Win conditions

Win side-lane duels by proccing vitals and saving (W) for Illaoi's key control tools to punish her cooldowns.
Deny Illaoi tentacle setups by controlling wave and zoning her from establishing zones.
Scale into splitpush pressure post-first item and level 6 to force Illaoi into isolated, unfavorable fights.
