Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades due to superior range and Neeko's root setup, but Samira+Sona win post-6 all-ins with R combos.
- Samira's W blocks your R and Q, making post-6 fights heavily favor them if they engage properly.
Synergy & Trading
- Use auto-Q-auto combos when Neeko lands E, then immediately back off before Samira can gap close.
- Focus on headshot procs from bushes and traps while Neeko provides crowd control setup.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early waves to establish trap control around river brushes, then maintain freeze near your tower post-6.
- This forces Samira to overextend for farm while keeping you safe from their all-in potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use R when Samira has W available, as she'll block it and potentially turn the fight.
- Don't get baited into extended trades when Sona has passive stacks ready for empowered auto attacks.
