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.

P
무모한 충동사미라가 마지막으로 맞힌 공격과 다른 기본 공격 또는 스킬을 적중시키면 콤보를 1회 쌓습니다. 근접 공격 사거리 내에 있는 적을 공격하면 추가 마법 피해를 입힙니다. 이동 불가 효과에 영향을 받은 적에게 기본 공격을 가하면 최대 사거리까지 돌진합니다. 해당 적이 공중으로 띄워진 상태라면 사미라도 대상을 잠시 동안 공중으로 띄워 올립니다.
Q
천부적 재능사미라가 총을 쏘거나 검을 휘둘러 피해를 입힙니다. 거침없는 질주 도중 사용하면 돌진이 끝난 후 경로 내에 있는 모든 적을 공격합니다.
W
원형 검무사미라가 주변에 검을 휘두르며 적에게 피해를 입히고 적의 투사체를 파괴합니다.
Strong: briefly blocks all projectiles around her. Weak: don't throw key skillshots into it — bait it, then commit.
E
거침없는 질주사미라가 적(구조물 포함)을 통과해 돌진합니다. 돌진 도중 통과하는 모든 적을 베고 공격 속도를 얻습니다. 적 챔피언을 처치하면 이 스킬의 재사용 대기시간이 초기화됩니다.
R
지옥불 난사사미라가 무기를 난사해 주변의 모든 적에게 공격을 퍼붓습니다.
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.
