How to beat Samira

Common role: ADC

An all-in marksman who dashes through fights and unleashes a lifesteal blade storm.

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
  デアデビルインパルス

  直前に命中したものとは異なる通常攻撃またはスキルを命中させることでコンボが増加していく。近接攻撃射程の通常攻撃は追加魔法ダメージを与える。移動不能効果を受けた敵に通常攻撃を行うと、自身の射程内までダッシュする。敵がノックアップしていた場合は、少しの間だけノックアップさせたままにする。

• Q
  フレア

  銃を発砲するか、剣を振ってダメージを与える。「ワイルドラッシュ」中に使用した場合は、ダッシュ後に通り道にいたすべての敵を攻撃する。

• W
  ブレードワール

  周囲を斬りつけて敵にダメージを与え、敵の飛翔物を破壊する。

  Strong: briefly blocks all projectiles around her. Weak: don't throw key skillshots into it — bait it, then commit.

• E
  ワイルドラッシュ

  敵(建造物を含む)を通り抜けるようにダッシュし、接触した敵を斬りつけて、攻撃速度が増加する。敵チャンピオンをキルすると、このスキルのクールダウンが解消される。

• R
  インフェルノトリガー

  銃から弾丸を高速で連射し、周囲のすべての敵に攻撃を行う。

  Strong: a spinning AoE blade storm that shreds a grouped team while healing her. Weak: hard CC before she spins and don't clump; Grievous Wounds cuts the lifesteal.

Itemization
