Synergy & Trading

  • Use auto-Q-auto combos when Samira steps up, with Zilean providing E speed boost for repositioning.
  • Focus headshot procs on Samira when she's marked by Braum Q or slowed by Zilean.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Maintain slow pushes to build minion advantages while poking, then crash for recalls or objective plays.
  • Use your range to freeze when ahead and deny Samira farm safely.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste Q on Braum's shield or get caught in melee range without Zilean's E available.
  • Avoid overextending for poke when your E is down as Samira can punish with flash engages.
