How to play 피오라
피오라 is a 5-cost 신성 결투가, 동물특공대 and 습격자 champion that usually plays as a frontline tank. Its main job is to stabilize the frontline and complete traits, so avoid leaving it as the only first target. 피오라 appears in NOVA YI and Capped & Loaded lines, so keep copies when those boards are open.

When to play 피오라
Consider playing around 피오라 when your health and economy let you reach late levels and the board needs a high-cost capstone. For items, 스테락의 도전 and 정의의 손길 are strong signals that 피오라 can stay on the board. For team direction, it fits naturally when you are already moving toward NOVA YI and Capped & Loaded. If it stays one-star, the traits do not activate, or the items point elsewhere, treat it as a transition unit instead of forcing the line.

Why these items work
스테락의 도전, 정의의 손길 and 밤의 끝자락 are recommended. 스테락의 도전 gives a health spike so the unit survives the first focus window, 정의의 손길 gives flexible damage and healing and 밤의 끝자락 drops aggro once to protect a fragile melee carry. The point of the setup is to keep it alive long enough to cast and hold the frontline.

Item alternatives
When the perfect setup is not available, use 워모그의 갑옷, 거인의 결의, 굳건한 심장 and 피바라기 as substitutes. For frontline substitutes, prioritize durability, sustain, and opening damage reduction without stealing every carry item. If 피오라 is only a trait slot, one useful item is enough and the premium items should go to your real carry or main tank.
timeline
Early, mid, and late game
Early: preserve health and economy instead of waiting for an expensive unit. Mid game: keep items flexible while leveling. Late game: 피오라 is a capstone piece, so once upgraded, build the final board around 신성 결투가, 동물특공대 and 습격자 and support its cast pattern.

Positioning tips
Place 피오라 in the first row on a side, or in the second row when it needs protection. It should enter combat quickly without eating every enemy attack at once. It needs time to start casting, so avoid letting it get deleted immediately.
