Playing as Samira

Tips to maximize your impact

Vary your hits
Vary your hits to build your Style: Daredevil Impulse (passive) only counts attacks or spells different from the previous one, and your ult needs an S rating.
Hit immobilized enemies
Go for the enemies your allies immobilize: Daredevil Impulse (passive) makes you dash into range, and extends the knock-up of an airborne enemy.
Chain resets with Wild Rush
Dash through a minion or your target with Wild Rush (E): if a champion you damaged dies within 3 seconds, the cooldown resets.
Save your whirl for what matters
Save Blade Whirl (W) for a projectile that matters, like Ashe's ult: the whirl destroys enemy projectiles that enter its area.
Inferno Trigger up close
Cast Inferno Trigger (R) in the middle of several enemies: 10 shots in 2 seconds on everyone around you, with life steal.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Trade after her Wild Rush
Take a trade once Wild Rush (E) is used: it's her only dash, and it only comes back if a champion she damaged dies within 3 seconds.
Hold your projectiles
If you have projectiles, wait for Blade Whirl (W) to end: it destroys those that enter its area, but not spells without a projectile.
Back off when she chains hits
Back off when she chains her hits: each one that differs from the last builds her Style, and at an S rating, Inferno Trigger (R) shoots every enemy around her.

Abilities and cooldowns

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.
