However, she cannot start them without the risk of being focused. In team fights, Samira can finish and clean up with her ultimate.

Getting picks is very beneficial for her skillset. At this point, Samira can assassinate priority targets relatively easily and with no punishment. Because of this, I do not recommend split pushing even with her potential to take down towers. Playing with your team as Samira is crucial to do so, as enemy crowd control and the threat of being burst down still can happen. If she’s ahead, she’s near-unstoppable as long as she can get her passive stacks up. With some items under her belt, she can easily finish team fights with high burst and sustain damage. Mid game is when Samira starts to pick up. You’re still susceptible to being bursted as Samira is still squishy, and need to make winning trades and fights, because playing from behind is damn hard as Samira. Keep in mind, the lower the health your target is, the more damage Samira naturally does because of her passive.ĭue to this, Samira can poke down enemies decently well and cleans up early fights well. However, because Flair has a low cooldown, it can be spammed. Her abilities have low base damage and scale hard with items. Samira is actually pretty average early on in the game. Thankfully, you can cast Wild Rush during your ultimate, and I recommend using it defensively until your opponent’s crowd control has been used. Keep in mind, Samira is susceptible to crowd control and can be interrupted during Inferno Trigger. The damage it deals is very high, and as long as you are damaging something in the middle of her ultimate, it’s very hard to out-damage the healing she gets from life steal alone. Instead, maxing out your style stacks to S grants Samira the ability to cast Inferno Trigger (R). Firstly, the ability has relatively no real cooldown. She slows herself, each shot able to crit while applying life steal. Samira spins and rapidly shoots everything in a large AOE every 0.2 seconds over the course of two seconds. However, with the missing health damage, it allows her damage to scale towards more of an assassin playstyle were she can clean up and executes enemies as well. The range basic attacks allow Samira to potentially work as an ADC, or to poke her opponents down in solo lanes. This passive is ridiculously strong by itself. This effect cannot occur on the same target more than once every few seconds. If Samira is outside her basic attack range, she will dash forward slightly before proccing the knock up. This damage is increased based on the target’s missing health.Īdditionally, Samira’s basic attacks against immobilized enemies knock up the enemy for 0.5 seconds, resetting her basic attack timer and becomes unstoppable. Standard attacks with her sword, as well as her three basic abilities, deal bonus damaging scaling from her bonus AD.

She shoots a pistol at enemies outside 200 range, while she strikes with her sword within that range.

Samira stacks grants her 0% to 21% bonus movement speed depending on your style grade.Īlongside this, Samira has two basic attacks. The stack count is represented from E to S. Passive - Daredevil ImpulseĮach unique basic attack and ability that damages an enemy champion grants Samira a Style stack for six seconds with a max of six stacks. This is the first time in League of Legends history that a champion can use their taunt as part of their kit. The reason why I’m including this taunt as part of her abilities is the fact that because it does damage, it stacks her passive and her ability to use her ultimate. Samira flicks a gold coin outwards, taking one gold from her inventory and dealing one true damage. However, she puts herself in risk to truly display her true potential, making her daredevil moniker true to lore. Her damage output is insanely good as well as her mobility. She’s quick to clean up fights, and is a fantastic duelist against most champions. In League of Legends, Samira is an ADC with the playstyle of an assassin. Her reputation as a flashy daredevil began the stories of wonder, and never ceases to amaze. Angry at her weakness, Samira found solace within the Noxian empire, where she gained power and respect. The Desert Rose herself was once a citizen of the harsh deserts of Shurima, before it fell to armed strangers.
