Who Wins
- You win levels 1-2 through superior range and Nami E empowerment for safe poke while avoiding Nautilus engage range.
- You hard lose post-level 3 if Nautilus lands Q, as Samira's burst combined with his CC chain creates unavoidable lethal damage that your DPS cannot match in short trades.
Synergy & Trading
- Avoid trading in lane as Samira + Nautilus hard win all-ins post-3 - focus on farming safely at maximum range with Nami sustain to scale into mid-game.
- Only poke with Q when Nautilus abilities are on cooldown and you have vision of their engage range, using Nami E for brief auto-attack windows before retreating immediately.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain slow pushes to keep minion advantage while staying at maximum range, denying Nautilus engage angles through minion blocking and safe positioning.
- Reset waves before they freeze near enemy tower, as this removes your safety buffer and creates dive opportunities for Nautilus + Samira all-ins.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never position where Nautilus can Q through minions or from unwarded brushes - his engage range combined with Samira E follow-up turns any misstep into a death.
- Avoid using E aggressively when their engage tools are available, as Samira cannot use W during her E dash, meaning she's vulnerable mid-animation - but you're even more vulnerable if caught.
