Guide to Countering Fiora as Vel'Koz

Tips for Playing as Vel'Koz against Fiora

Be very careful about when to use Life Form Disintegration Ray. Many champions have abilities that can interrupt the spell.

Shooting Plasma Fission diagonally and splitting at maximum range allows you to hit opponents that are out of the range of the initial missile, but is more challenging to pull off.

When laning, use Void Rift to kill minions while building stacks of Organic Deconstruction on your opponent. You can then follow up with your other abilities.

Advice to Win Against Fiora

Be careful when casting immobilizing disables on Fiora. If her Riposte is available, she can turn their power against you.

Duelist's Dance shows you where Fiora will try to attack from, so be ready to punish her when she tries.
