Who Wins
- You win level 2 decisively and maintain kill pressure at level 6 with your ultimate and Samira's burst potential.
- Shen's taunt can disrupt your combo, but your engage tools are superior for forcing favorable fights.
Synergy & Trading
- Engage with Zenith Blade when Shen's taunt is on cooldown or when you can catch Smolder out of position.
- Follow up immediately with your full combo while Samira dashes in to maximize damage before they can respond effectively.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam opportunities are limited due to Samira's need for protection, but consider roaming after successful recalls or when the wave is in a good spot.
- Focus on mid lane ganks or river skirmishes where your engage can be game-changing.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't engage when Shen's Spirit's Refuge is active, as it will block Samira's follow-up damage and waste your cooldowns.
- Avoid using Zenith Blade on minions or in situations where Shen can immediately taunt you away from Samira.
