Tahm Kench vs Fiora

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Tahm Kench must manage repeated short trades to build passive stacks and threaten stun or (R) against Fiora's vital procs.
Control the lane to avoid giving Fiora access to isolated duels where her scaling and mobility dominate.

Trading pattern

Engage short trades by stacking passive and landing (Q) at three stacks to stun Fiora and follow with (E) shield.
Punish Fiora immediately after she uses (W) as her parry cooldown opens a window for safe trades.
Avoid prolonged fights where Fiora can proc multiple vitals; reset stacks if she kites before you reach three stacks.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is off cooldown as she can parry and stun your engage.
Avoid trading when passive stacks are low since your (Q) won't stun and your threat is reduced.
Watch for Fiora's level 6 power spike where she can chase through vitals and extend fights beyond your sustain.

Early game

Focus on building passive stacks early and use (Q) to slow or stun before Fiora commits to trades.
Use (E) to absorb damage from Fiora's burst and avoid extended fights before level 6.
Avoid engaging when (W) is available on Fiora to parry your crowd control and punish predictable trades.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to isolate Fiora or save an ally from her burst, forcing her to respect your (R) threat.
After first tank item, leverage increased durability and (E) shield to absorb her burst and win short trades.
Respect Fiora's level 6 (R) spike as it enables extended duels and healing; avoid isolated fights when her (R) is up.

Win conditions

Win lane by consistently landing three passive stacks and (Q) stuns, then using (E) to absorb her burst.
Use (R) to pick off Fiora when isolated or protect allies from her all-ins in teamfights.
Deny Fiora isolated side-lane duels by maintaining lane pressure and forcing grouped fights where your durability shines.
