Abilities & tips
Open an ability to read its effect and a practical use tip.
PDaredevil Impulse
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.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
QFlair
Samira fires a shot or swings her sword, dealing damage. If cast during Wild Rush, strike all enemies in her path upon completion.

WBlade Whirl
Samira slashes around her, damaging enemies and destroying enemy missiles.
Read the effect and its conditions, then practise it alone. Build your sequence around the effect you can reliably reproduce.
EWild Rush
Samira dashes through an enemy (including structures), slashing enemies she passes through and gaining Attack Speed. Killing an enemy champion refreshes this ability's cooldown.
Decide where you want to finish the movement before casting. Using mobility to enter a fight can leave fewer options to retreat.
RInferno Trigger
Samira unleashes a torrent of shots from her weapons, wildly shooting all enemies surrounding her.
Read the effect and its conditions, then practise it alone. Build your sequence around the effect you can reliably reproduce.

Game plan by role
Samira · Bot
Coordinate trades with your support and keep last hits consistent. Stand where you can attack without stepping into both enemy players’ threat range.
Collect safe farm while staying close enough to join your team. Check the map before crossing an exposed side lane for one more wave.
Keep dealing damage to an accessible target while tracking enemy engage tools. A safer sustained position is often better than chasing a distant carry.
Before your next fight, check: Flair · Inferno Trigger · Combos
06
Matchup preparation
Compare opponents in the build for the role you are actually playing. Then check their key control, escape and defensive spells before choosing your trade.
07
Practice checklist
- Cast each ability alone and identify its range, target conditions and stopping point.
- Practise the first sequence slowly. Repeat it while moving, without skipping the conditions shown on its card.
- After each attempt, identify the spell you would still have available to defend or retreat.
