Fiora – The new League of Legends champion?

Fiora is the newest champion that has been added to the League of Legends PBE (Public Beta Environment).

Based on her animations and skill names, she is clearly a fencer. So a close range fighter.

Check out her animations here:

Her skills include health regen (passive), dashes (Q and R), a one-strike shield from basic attacks (W) and an attack speed boost (E).

She will probably be a mean split-pusher, as she has a lot of escapes and a skill that increases attack speed and movement speed.

Full list of skills:

Passive – Duelist: Fiora regenerates health over 6 seconds each time she deals damage. Striking champions will cause this effect to stack up to 4 times.

Q – Lunge: Fiora dashes forward to strike her target, dealing physical damage. Fiora can perform the dash a second time within a couple seconds at no mana cost.

W – Ripost: (Passive) Fiora’s Attack Damage is increased. (Active) Fiora parries the next basic attack from a champion or monster and reflects magic damage back to the attacker.

E – Burst of Speed: Fiora gains Attack Speed for a couple seconds. Each basic attack or Lunge she lands during this time increases her Movement Speed, stacking.

R – Blade Waltz: Fiora dashes around the battlefield striking random champions dealing physical damage. Successive strikes against the same target deal less damage.

So Fiora will most likely be a new top laner or jungler (like we haven’t seen those recently). She has sustain from her passive, as long she can keep hitting minions. Depending on the range of her Q (dash), it can be used to harass or escape ganks. Kinda like Vaynes Q.

Suggested items at this time on the PBE:

Dorans Blade, Guardian Angel, Infinity Edge, Bloodthirster, Mercury Treads, Ghostblade
