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 as Sivir

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Hit going out and coming back

    Position so Boomerang Blade (Q) hits on the way out and on the way back: it damages every enemy it passes through, but less after hitting a minion.

  2. Ricochet right after an auto

    Cast Ricochet (W) right after an auto: it resets your auto immediately, and the next ones bounce to nearby enemies.

  3. Save your shield for their CC

    Save Spell Shield (E) for the stun or root aimed at you: it blocks the next enemy ability, and heals and speeds you up if it blocks.

  4. On The Hunt to engage or escape

    Cast On The Hunt (R) to engage or escape as a group: nearby allies gain move speed, and your autos on champions reduce your cooldowns.

Playing against Samira

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
