Who Wins
- Pre-6: Samira+Pyke wins through superior all-in potential and Pyke's hook engage, while you lack reliable escape tools against their burst.
- Post-6: The matchup becomes more even as your R provides repositioning, but they still have kill pressure advantage with Samira's R reset potential.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for short trades when Mel lands E root to follow up with your Q and W, then disengage before Samira can stack her passive.
- Avoid extended trades unless Pyke misses his Q, as Samira excels in prolonged fights with her passive stacking.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early waves to hit level 2 first and establish priority, then maintain neutral positioning to avoid Pyke hooks.
- Focus on farming safely and scaling rather than forcing aggressive plays, as your power spike comes with items and evolves.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use your E aggressively for poke when Pyke has Q available, as you'll be vulnerable to his all-in combo.
- Avoid fighting in minion waves where Samira can use her passive and W to block your abilities while dealing damage.
