Who Wins
- Pre-6: Pantheon-Tristana wins due to Pantheon's superior poke and disengage with W, plus Tristana's range advantage making your E engages risky.
- Post-6: You win if you land E-Q on either carry as your combined burst with Samira R exceeds their damage output.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for E-Q combo on Tristana when she steps up for CS, immediately followed by R to lock her down for Samira's full rotation.
- Against Pantheon, wait for him to use W aggressively then E-Q him during the animation for guaranteed follow-up.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Don't roam early as Samira needs protection from Pantheon's poke and all-in potential, plus she scales better with farm than roam advantages.
- Only consider roaming post-6 when Samira can safely farm under tower and you have vision of enemy jungler.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never E into Pantheon when his E is available as he can block your damage and turn the trade around with W-Q combo.
- Don't engage when Tristana has W available unless you can guarantee the kill, as she'll simply jump away after your combo.
