How to play against Samira

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Hold hard crowd control for her R instead of spending everything on the first target. Interrupting the channel stops her reset fight.
4. Fight her from spread angles so she cannot dash through one clustered team. Deny the cleanup path after the first low-health target.
5. 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.
