Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to limited damage and Brand's superior range and poke.
- Post-6 you gain some kill pressure with R ganks but still struggle in straight 2v2 fights against their range advantage.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q empowered autos on whoever Samira targets, then E to follow up her engage or peel when enemies dive.
- Your W blocks Kog'Maw's auto-attacks during crucial moments of the fight.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Look for roams after level 6 when you have R available, especially to help your jungler or mid laner.
- Time roams when Samira can safely farm under tower or when the wave is pushing away.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E aggressively without Samira's follow-up since you'll be stuck in a bad position against two ranged champions.
- Never waste W when Kog'Maw isn't auto-attacking - save it for his W enhanced autos or team fight moments.
