Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 as your combo setup is unreliable against Samira's mobility and Tahm's peel, while they have stronger all-in potential.
  • Post-6 the matchup remains difficult as Samira's R can lifesteal through your burst and Tahm's R creates dive threats.

Synergy & Trading

  • Land Q on the support first since Tahm is immobile, then immediately E-W combo while Jhin follows with W root.
  • Save your R for when Samira commits with her R, as the AOE damage can turn the fight if she's low enough.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Roam mid at level 6 when the wave is pushing away from you, as your R provides strong gank setup.
  • Also roam when Tahm recalls alone, leaving Samira vulnerable to jungle ganks that you can support.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste Q trying to stun Samira through minions as she can dash to dodge and engage on you.
  • Never face-check bushes against this duo as Tahm's W into Samira combo can instantly delete you from fog of war.
