Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win 2v2s when you can land Q on either enemy, as Samira can follow up with dash and out-damage them.
- Post-6: You completely dominate with R-Q combo setting up Samira's R for guaranteed kills.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q angles when enemies are farming or when Vel'Koz uses abilities, then immediately follow with auto-attacks to proc passive.
- Your best trades happen when you can Q one enemy and auto the other to spread passive stacks.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam mid or jungle when Samira has wave control and enemies are pushed up, typically after successful trades.
- Time roams around level 3-4 when you have Q-W-E available for ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E to block Jinx's W poke as you need it for Vel'Koz's burst combo - let Samira's W handle single projectiles.
- Never engage with Q unless Samira is in position to follow up, as you'll be left alone in their minion wave.
