Playing as Samira

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 Zeri

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Keep minions between you and her: Burst Fire (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, except during Spark Surge (E), when it pierces through them.

  2. Stay away from walls

    Don't fight near a wall against her: if Ultrashock Laser (W) hits it, it becomes an area laser that slows and critically strikes.

  3. Engage right after her dash

    If you can engage, go in right after Spark Surge (E): it's her only dash, and each of her hits lowers its cooldown, so don't wait.

  4. Break contact during her ult

    During Lightning Crash (R), back off out of her range: each hit she lands on a champion extends the effect and makes her faster.
