Learn how to Samira counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Track Samira's Style meter (visible under her health bar) and disengage when she approaches maximum stacks — her ultimate is only available at max Style and is a major source of her damage.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
Save crowd control abilities for when Samira uses her ultimate (R) — any cast-inhibiting CC will immediately interrupt it, drastically reducing her damage output.
Team Fight Skirmish
Engage on Samira when her W (Blade Whirl) is on cooldown (22-30s) — this ability blocks all hostile projectiles, making her vulnerable to ranged attacks and abilities when it's unavailable.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Keep the minion wave close to your side during laning phase — this limits Samira's aggressive E (Wild Rush) usage, as diving becomes more dangerous.
Lane Phase
Fight Samira when she has low Style points — without access to her ultimate, she loses significant damage output and has reduced movement speed.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Be cautious after Samira gets a takedown — her E (Wild Rush) cooldown resets, giving her additional mobility to continue fighting or escape.
Skirmish Team Fight
Use point-and-click abilities when Samira's W (Blade Whirl) is active — it destroys projectiles but cannot block targeted abilities.
Advanced Lane Phase Team Fight
At level 6, respect Samira's increased kill pressure when she has max Style points — she can quickly chain her E and R for a deadly all-in combo.
Basic Lane Phase
Position yourself at medium range from Samira when possible — her blade attacks (used at short range) deal bonus magic damage based on your missing health.
Lane Phase Skirmish
During her ultimate, Samira's movement speed is reduced by 30% — use this opportunity to reposition or land skillshots if you can't interrupt it.
