Learn how to play with Samira with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When playing champions with immobilizing abilities (stuns, roots, etc.), coordinate your crowd control with Samira. Her passive gives her an empowered attack against immobilized enemies that can knock up airborne targets, creating powerful engagement opportunities.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
Pay attention to Samira's Style meter (the letter grade beside her health bar). When it shows "S", she can cast her powerful ultimate. Avoid forcing fights when her Style is low as her damage output will be significantly reduced.
Team Fight Skirmish
When Samira activates her ultimate (spinning rapidly and firing shots), she has reduced movement speed and can't use defensive abilities. Provide protection during this 2-second window as enemy crowd control will interrupt her ultimate and significantly reduce her damage output.
Team Fight
When facing champions with key projectiles (like Ashe's arrow or Ezreal's abilities), position near Samira when her W (Blade Whirl) is available. This ability destroys all enemy projectiles in the area, providing protection for nearby allies.
Team Fight
Be extra vigilant when Samira's W (Blade Whirl) and E (Wild Rush) are both on cooldown. Without these defensive tools, she becomes much more vulnerable and needs teammate protection to survive.
Advanced Team Fight
Samira can cast her Q and ultimate during her E dash. When you see her dash toward an enemy, be ready for immediate follow-up as she's likely initiating an all-in combo that can quickly eliminate a target.
Skirmish Team Fight
In early laning phase (levels 1-5), Samira needs protective support to safely farm. After level 6, she becomes much more aggressive with ultimate access, so adjust your playstyle accordingly.
Basic Lane Phase
Samira's E (Wild Rush) has a fixed dash distance of 650 units. When engaging, position yourself so she can reach priority targets with her dash without extending too far from team protection.
