Hello there, I'm Lost (aka ilostmyname) and this is my first written guide for League of Legends. I apologize in advance for the poor layout and possible spelling and grammatical errors in this guide, please comment to point them out if you spot them so i can make the improvements.

While i have dabbled in other roles, jungle is where i feel most comfortable, i wont pretend to be an expert on jungling and there are many other junglers out there that are far better than i am. I have used MobaFire extensively to learn new champions and roles, mixing and matching different guides and adding my own twist as i go along, this is what i hope you will all do with my guide.

This guide is in no way perfect but it is one of very few guides for playing Jungle Fiora so i hope that it can be a decent reference point for those of you wising to pick up this fun champion.

Thanks to:

Jhoijhoi for her Guide to making a guide!

SirSpankAlot for his Jungle Skarner Guide so well written i just had to write a guide of my own.

Apotheosis for the warding section, taken from his tryndamere guide.

SPACESPACE SPACESPACE Pros + Great Mobility + Early Ganks + Nice Burst + AOE from Tiamat works with ult + Snowballs well SPACESPACE Cons - Blue Buff Dependant - Slower than some other junglers - Hurts to be counter jungled - Lack of CC - Irritating voice I have found surprisingly few flaws in playing Fiora in jungle which makes it shocking for me to have never seen a jungle Fiora before and to only see one guide for this brilliant champion. Her passive is rather helpful in jungle but my favorite of her abilities from a jungle perspective has to be her passive from her Riposte making her snowball well. Using Tiamat (and later Ravenous Hydra) in her build makes for interesting team fights when using her ult, the splash damage from the item mixed with the damage from her ult can easily turn the tides of a fight in your team's favor. Her biggest problem is her absolute dependence on Blue Buff early and mid game, late game i would recommend still picking it up whenever it is available but it isn't as entirely necessary.

Flash is arguably the best summoner spell in the game, allowing for easy escapes and closing range for ganks and to prevent escape. When playing Fiora i use my flash to escape from a team-fight if my Blade Waltz takes me further in than expected, it also can be handy for closing distance on a target and jumping on them with Lunge

Smite is a must for Fiora as her damage and sustain early on isn't anywhere near enough to take blue buff without it, most junglers will always take Smite, it also can be nice to secure enemy buffs or dragon and baron later in the game, if warded, a well timed Lunge + Smite + Flash can take a baron from the enemy.

Ghost can be useful in some situations, as an escape mechanic or for closing a gap that Flash wouldn't have closed, but generally i prefer flash, i find that the choice between Ghost and Flash is entirely down to personal preference.

Exhaust can help to get an assassin away from one of your squishy team-mates (don't we all hate it when Talon starts running after your squishes), it can also be useful to secure a kill for the team, slowing the target helps your entire team get to them. My preference still goes to Flash though.

Offence

• Fury : 5% Extra attack speed makes for a slightly faster jungle. (up from 4% in S3)
• Sorcery : 5% Cooldown Reduction really helps out on this ability spam champion :)
• Butcher : Additional creep damage for early game jungle.
• Brute Force : More late-game damage! :D
• Feast : More sustainability for early game jungle.
• Martial Mastery : More early game jungle damage.
• Executioner : Makes your ganks that much more potent.
• Warlord : Because snowballing out of control is just too fun.
• Dangerous Game : Mainly for mana regeneration to help with mana problems, but extra health is always nice too.
• Devastating Strikes : Armour penetration and Magic penetration are a must.
• Havoc : *See "Warlord"* - Snowball!

Defence

• Recovery : A little more HP regeneration to help out.
• Tough Skin : For early game jungle.
• Bladed Armor : Again, more early game jungle.

Basic Skill Sequence

This is my standard skill sequence, it is likely that changes will be made on a situation basis, obviously you're priority is Blade Waltz. Maxing Riposte first for the passive attack damage makes for harder hitting ganks and faster jungle speeds, i tend to max Lunge second and Burst of Speed last but it depends on the enemy, if they have no real great escape mechanics then Burst of Speed is better than Lunge, Lunge is best used for initiation and chasing down.

Recommended

• Greater Mark of Attack Damage
  I take these marks to increase early game jungle speed.
• Greater Seal of Armor
  I take flat armour for early game jungle defense, it also doesn't hurt to have it there later in the game too, every little helps.
• Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist
  Most junglers will take Scaling Magic resist, it helps late game against AP carry's.
• Greater Quintessence of Life Steal
  I take lifesteal to help my sustain in jungle early on.
• Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed
  This is honestly mainly in here because i haven't bought another Greater Quintessence of Life Steal yet but it does serve as a slight jungle speed increase.

Viable Choices

Marks

• Greater Mark of Attack Speed
  This mark CAN increase jungle speed, but the attack speed buff from Burst of Speed makes this somewhat useless in comparison, i find my speed to be much faster with Greater Mark of Attack Damage instead.
  
• Greater Mark of Armor Penetration Greater Mark of Armor Penetration
  This mark is more suited for when you are fighting champions in late game, if you plan on spending less time in the jungle and more time ganking then this can be a suitable choice.
  

Quintessences

• Greater Quintessence of Armor
  Just if you want to build even more tank at the cost of jungle sustainability.
• Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed
  You can make all of your Quintessences attack speed rather than mixing them with Greater Quintessence of Life Steal for slightly faster jungle speed at the cost of sustain.
• Greater Quintessence of Life Steal
  You can make all of your Quintessences life steal rather than mixing them with Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed for slightly slower jungle speed with more sustain.
  

Note

This is just a small note, i have not tried out every rune combination, if you think that there are more viable choices then feel free to either comment or PM me what you think would be viable and why and i shall add it to this guide.

Item Building Sequence

Please refer to the top of the guide for the exact purchase order.

Early Game

The items command compacts the build which is why the exact order isn't shown here.
I start off with a Hunter's Machete and 5x Health Potion, these are entirely necessary, i tried a match without either and had major problems even on the first camp, the Health Potions keep you in the jungle longer while the Hunter's Machete helps you with your damage output on the camps.

By the time you have chewed through all of your Health Potions then you should have enough gold to pick up your Spirit of the Elder Lizard, if something went wrong and you can't afford it yet then build your Spirit Stone first and go back for the Spirit of the Elder Lizard later. Next time you return you should be able to afford your Berserker's Greaves.

Mid Game - Late Game

Your first 'big' item is going to be Tiamat, build whichever part of this you can afford and/or need the most, if you are having health problems get the Rejuvenation Bead first else go for the attack damage parts. Once you have your Tiamat you will see massive increases in your jungle speed and teamfight ability, meaning that your next stop in base should have you building your Ravenous Hydra.

Well done, you've built your Ravenous Hydra, the enemy team practically cowers in fear of your Blade Waltz now so it is time for you to show them the true meaning of fear, build your Frozen Mallet, if you can you should build Pickaxe first but if you find yourself focused then it may be a good idea to build Giant's Belt first instead.

Late Game

You're reaching the final parts of your build now, you may find that your damage output isn't what it once was but fear not, there's a weapon for that... and it's called Bloodthirster get this and then head off into the jungle to mop up creep camps and get those stacks of attack damage and lifesteal, the increase you see from this item alone is crazy.

Find that the enemy has noticed your increase? fear not, Warmog's Armor should keep you alive a little longer, although i have yet to have a match last long enough while playing Fiora to build this.

Your team and You

I actually made an extensive video a while ago (season 2) detailing why junglers are required and what your job is as a jungler, it can be found here:


If you don't want to watch that then here is a quick few points that are essential information:

Your Job

• Placing wards around the map.
• Taking Dragon when possible.
• Ganking when possible.
• 'Lane sitting' when desperately required.

Your Team's Job

• Still placing wards.
• Helping you take Dragon when needed (early/mid game).
• Not pushing when you come to gank.
• Calling out when they need their lane sitting.

Ganking

Video of jungle route and a gank.

Play Video /league-of-legends/champion/fiora-94

Champions she ganks well for:

Please note that i have not played with all of these combos, comment if something is on here that is not viable, or something viable is not on here. Thanks.

Rather than writing down every champion with a stun, i will simply put down some tactics for champions with something more than a simple stun.

Alistar - Using Headbutt to knock the target towards YOUR tower the stunning with Pulverize should allow Fiora to Lunge in and easily assist in a kill.


Anivia - Usually in mid, a well placed Crystallize should wall off your target from getting to their tower. Ganking for an Anivia can be tricky if they are new to the champ, i've had ganks failed before from new players blocking me from the target with the wall.


Cho'Gath - A good Cho'Gath player is unlikely to need your help in a gank, but always be open to lending a hand to his feed. Have the target silenced by Cho'Gath as you lunge to them, then have Rupture placed in-front of the target as 9 times out of 10, they'll attempt to flash forward out of the way of Fiora's burst.


Vayne - Get your Vayne to position either next to or behind your target, have her engage as you do for optimal burst, when they start to run have Vayne use either Flash or Tumble (a combo of them both if needed) to get ahead of the target, then use Condemn to knock them back to you (preferably back into a wall if one is nearby)

Jungle Route

Use Pots when needed.
1. Take Wolves, you may need help from a team-mate.
2. Get help taking blue buff, make sure you use Smite.
3. Gank mid if possible, else move on.
4. Wraiths.
5. Golems.
6. Red buff if you have the HP and provided Smite is available.
7. Recall if needed, check for ganking chances and rinse and repeat.

Make sure that you always keep an eye out for potential ganks, if you are intending on ganking a lane you should warn those in lane that you are, preferably by saying in chat AND pinging whoever you intend to focus.

Order of priority; Use Sight Ward and Vision Ward where necessary:

Baron/Dragon Wards:
However you decide to set these up with your team, whether it be orderly among the team or supports only buy wards, make sure these are always laid out! Baron and Dragon are what we're primarily keeping an eye on here. Early in the match it's not as important obviously, however, you still need to know whether top, mid, or bot will be set up for a gank when enemy laners/junglers are wandering about. These early kills can help the enemy sculpt the rest of the match and land a victory. We don't want to be allowing the enemy to kill either Baron or Dragon. That's a good chunk of gold that will distribute among their team, not to mention Baron's handy buff.

Note:I would recommend using Vision Ward for these locations, especially for the Baron at mid-late game. Oracle's Elixir is a great replacement for Vision Ward in case you don't like wards.

Self Privacy Wards:
There's orange points at top, mid, and bot hiding locations. I would hope that your entire team would try to ward the areas entitled to them. These wards are not entirely important, however, they are lifesavers. Junglers and wandering laners will use these bushes to set up for early kills. If you're pushing your lane, then it would be a good idea to ward the bush(s) that is closet to you.

Team Privacy Wards:
These are crucial wards to put out if the match can go either way by eliminating possible ambushes when pushing minions or entering your own jungle.

Game Changing Wards:
Of course all of the wards posted on the map are capable of changing the outcome of a game, but these wards are placed in a location that both teams will always drift by. Reasons to go through the wards (for both teams): Getting to Baron and dragon, changing lanes, shifting from allied jungle to the enemy's jungle (either by self or team) to steal mobs/buffs, shifting as a team to gank the enemy team, etc. If you just have a ward on either Baron and/or dragon, you can still miss the enemy slipping by into your jungle never knowing it. This allows enemies to set up ganks. Therefore, these wards change the outcome of a game because you know whats coming.

Invading Wards:
I thought it was appropriate to name these wards in this manner because you can enter their bushes knowing whether they're there or not before you attempt to set up a gank. The enemy usually walks through these bushes hoping to freely enter their jungle for experience/gold and/or buffs.

Buff Wards:
Monitor your's and enemy's buffs with these wards. Good to set in your own jungle if they start playing dirty and snatching buffs early game from your jungle. These wards are primarily for the junglers of each team.

Thank-you for reading my guide, i hope it has helped some of you out, if it has please up-vote it, if you do choose to down-vote it some constructive criticism in the comments would be appreciated. I would love any feedback at all.

Thanks again,
Lost.
