Who Wins
- Pre-6: You lose most 2v2s due to Samira's superior early damage and Braum's engage potential with Q.
- Post-6: You still struggle in all-ins as Samira's R combined with Braum's R creates too much burst and CC for your range advantage to matter.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W to poke when Braum is out of position to block, then follow up with rockets (Q) for extended trades when they're chunked.
- Your best trades happen when Vel'Koz lands Q and you can follow with W-rocket combo from maximum range.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early waves with rockets to establish range advantage and prevent Samira from building passive stacks on minions.
- After level 6, maintain distance and only fight with minion waves between you and them to avoid getting engaged on.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never walk up to auto-attack minions when Braum has Q available, as his engage range combined with Samira's dash will result in your death.
- Don't use W carelessly as it's your only self-peel tool against their all-in potential.
