## How to play against Samira

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

### In lane and in teamfights

- Bait W before using key projectiles or crowd control. Trade again while it is down so she cannot block the spell that starts your damage.

- Keep her low before she can dash in with E. Samira's lane all-in is much weaker when she cannot reset through a kill.

- Hold hard crowd control for her R instead of spending everything on the first target. Interrupting the channel stops her reset fight.

- Fight her from spread angles so she cannot dash through one clustered team. Deny the cleanup path after the first low-health target.

- Save one reliable interrupt until she commits with R. Do not let her start the channel after your crowd control is already gone.

## Where Samira is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

- Samira needs style stacks and melee access before taking over, giving teams time to deny her entry.

- Her ultimate collapses under reliable interrupts, making saved crowd control much stronger than scattered early spells.
