What makes Samira dangerous
Samira builds a style meter with varied attacks, dashes through enemies (E) resetting on takedowns, blocks projectiles with her W, and her ultimate is a spinning AoE blade storm that shreds a grouped team while healing her. She thrives in chaotic all-ins and snowballs out of control if she gets going.
How to play against Samira
- 1Her W blocks projectiles briefly — don't throw key skillshots into it. Bait it, then commit.
- 2Her ultimate needs full style stacks and enemies in range — hard CC her before she can spin, and don't clump for the AoE.
- 3Punish her early — Samira is a weak, all-in-reliant laner before items. Poke her out and deny the snowball.
- 4She dives melee-range on her carry pattern. Hard CC and Grievous Wounds (against her ult lifesteal) shut her down.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Weak, all-in-reliant early game.
- ✓W only blocks projectiles briefly.
- ✓Ult needs stacks and grouped enemies — CC and spread deny it.
- ✓Melee-range and squishy; hard CC punishes her.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Samira's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
DraufgängerinSamira baut eine Kombo auf, indem sie mit Angriffen oder Fähigkeiten trifft, ohne etwas zweimal hintereinander einzusetzen. Samiras Angriffe in Nahkampfreichweite verursachen zusätzlichen magischen Schaden. Greift Samira Gegner an, die von bewegungsunfähig machenden Effekten betroffen sind, sprintet sie in ihre Angriffsreichweite. Wenn der Gegner hochgeschleudert wurde, hält sie ihn zudem für kurze Zeit hochgeschleudert.
Q
FlairSamira feuert einen Schuss ab oder schwingt ihr Schwert und verursacht Schaden. Wird die Fähigkeit während „Ungezügelter Rausch“ eingesetzt, trifft sie beim Abschluss alle Gegner auf ihrem Weg.
W
KlingenwirbelSamira wirbelt ihr Schwert um sich herum, fügt Gegnern Schaden zu und zerstört gegnerische Geschosse.
Strong: briefly blocks all projectiles around her. Weak: don't throw key skillshots into it — bait it, then commit.
