Samira's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Daredevil Impulse (P)

Samira builds a combo by hitting attacks or abilities unique from the previous hit. Samira's attacks in melee range deal additional magic damage. Samira's attacks against enemies affected by Immobilizing effects will dash her to her attack range. If the enemy is Knocked Up, she also keeps them Knocked Up briefly.

Playing against Samira

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Interrupt her R with CC — she channels and is vulnerable. A stun/knockup cancels all her DPS.

2

Her W blocks projectiles but not melee/non-projectile: non-projectile CC counters her.

3

Don't let her reach S rank style: disengage when she's comboing to prevent her from using R.

4

Samira is weak against poke: harass her at range before she can engage.
