Who Wins
- You lose level 2 all-ins due to Samira's mobility and Swain's pull combo, but you win level 6 fights with your ultimate's teamfight control.
- Your engage becomes much stronger once you have R to lock down multiple targets.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q knockback trades when Samira uses W defensively, then follow up with sapling poke.
- Coordinate with Jhin's W root after you land Q to guarantee his fourth shot or grenade bounce.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam frequently after level 6 since this lane favors short trades over extended fights.
- Look for roam timings when Jhin has pushed the wave and Samira is low on mana or has used dash aggressively.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't engage with W when Samira has her W available as she can block your sapling and Jhin's follow-up damage.
- Avoid face-checking bushes against Swain as his E-W combo can set up easy kills for Samira.
