Who Wins
- You win level 2 with Q-auto-E combo plus Samira follow-up overwhelming Mel's early damage output.
- Level 6 remains favorable since your R knockup sets up Samira's full combo, though you must be careful of Swain's R sustain turning fights around.
Synergy & Trading
- Engage with Q hook on the squishier target (usually Mel), then use E slow to prevent escapes while Samira follows up with damage.
- Save R for when enemies are low enough for Samira's R execute or to interrupt crucial enemy abilities like Swain's R channeling.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam mid or jungle after successful trades that force enemies to recall, typically around levels 3-5 when your base damages are still relevant.
- Look for roams when Samira can safely farm 1v2 or when the wave is pushing toward your tower naturally.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't hook into Mel's W barrier since it will reflect damage back and waste your engage cooldown.
- Avoid engaging when Swain has R available and full health since his sustain can turn your successful engage into a losing fight for your team.
