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 Zeri

Tips to maximize your impact

Aim every Burst Fire
Aim each Burst Fire (Q): it's your main attack, reaching 700 range and hitting the first enemy in its line.
Fire your laser at a wall
Aim Ultrashock Laser (W) at a wall: the pulse becomes an area laser that slows and critically strikes champions.
Vault over walls
Aim Spark Surge (E) at a wall: you vault over it, much farther than with the dash alone, and your Burst Fire pierces for a few seconds afterward.
Hit a champion, then back off
Cast Lightning Crash (R) near a champion: hitting them gives you attack speed and move speed, and each hit on a champion extends the effect. Attack while backing off.

Playing against Samira

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.
