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.
Playing against Miss Fortune
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't stand behind low minions
Don't stay behind a low-health minion: if Double Up (Q) kills it, the bounce that hits you always crits.
- Cut her speed with a small hit
Hit her regularly, even with a small hit: Strut (W) only grants her passive move speed after a few seconds without taking damage.
- Go in if you can
If you can engage, get on top of her: Miss Fortune has no dash or leap, only the speed from Strut (W).
- Interrupt her Bullet Time
If you have CC, save it for Bullet Time (R): she channels in place, and interrupting her cancels the remaining waves.
