Malphite vs Fiora

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize surviving Fiora's early poke and vital procs while building armor to blunt her physical damage.
Accept a low lane pressure role focused on stable farming and preparing for impactful level 6 engages.
This matchup is a control vs splitpush duel where Malphite aims to neutralize Fiora's side-lane threat and win teamfights.

Trading pattern

Take low-risk trades when your passive shield is up and (E) is ready to reduce Fiora's attack speed.
Avoid committing when (W) parry is available, as it can stun and punish your crowd control.
Use (Q) to slow Fiora and create safer short trades, but do not overcommit before (R) unlocks.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) parry is up, as it can stun and punish your crowd control attempts.
Avoid extended trades before your armor item and level 6, as Fiora's vital procs and true damage are most threatening.
Watch for Fiora's level 6 all-in with (R) and her ability to chase vitals; disengage or call for team assistance if isolated.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before your first armor item and level 6 to minimize Fiora's vital damage.
Use (Q) poke sparingly to slow Fiora and disrupt her mobility without wasting mana.
Focus on safe farming and preserving health until (R) is available for impactful engages.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to initiate fights or ganks with guaranteed knockup and follow-up, forcing Fiora to respect your engage.
After your first armor item, your trades become much safer against Fiora's physical damage; play more confidently.
Respect Fiora's level 6 (R) spike that enables extended duels and healing; avoid isolated fights when she can proc vitals repeatedly.

Win conditions

Survive the early lane by minimizing damage through armor stacking and measured (Q) poke.
Use (R) to create impactful teamfight engages where Fiora's isolated dueling strength is less effective.
Deny Fiora isolated side-lane duels by grouping with your team and forcing objectives or fights where your engage and tankiness shine.
