Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Fiora's mobility and vital procs to pressure Malphite in lane and force him into isolated duels.
Manage lane pressure to prevent Malphite from safely scaling armor and setting up teamfight engages.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) to hit accessible vitals and only commit to longer trades when (W) is available to parry (Q) slow or (E) slow.

Avoid trading when vitals are hard to reach or (W) is on cooldown to prevent easy counter-engages.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (R) is up, especially if he can engage from fog or flash angles.
Avoid extended trades when (W) is down as Malphite's slows and poke become more threatening.

Avoid extended trades before your first dueling item when Malphite's armor and poke can blunt your damage.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to force long duels where you can chase multiple vitals and heal through damage; force Malphite to disengage or hug terrain.
After your first dueling item, increase side-lane pressure to punish Malphite before he stacks armor.
Respect Malphite's level 6 (R) engage potential by maintaining spacing and preparing (W) to parry it if possible.
