Who Wins
- Pre-6: Varus-Swain wins due to superior range, poke damage, and Swain's pull threat that you cannot effectively counter.
- Post-6: They maintain advantage as Swain's R provides better teamfight presence than your healing in 2v2 scenarios.
Synergy & Trading
- Focus on landing Q for movement speed to help Samira gap close, then immediately W her during trades while staying max range.
- Use E to zone Varus during his Q channels or to interrupt Swain's W placement.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Avoid roaming as Samira needs constant healing support and protection from the enemy's superior range and poke.
- Your presence is crucial to keep her healthy enough to look for all-in opportunities.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E on Swain pulls as the silence comes too late to prevent the displacement - save it for zoning or interrupting channeled abilities.
- Never position where Swain can E-W combo you as you have no mobility to escape the follow-up damage.
