Who Wins
- Pre-6: You lose 2v2s because your poke gets blocked by Braum's E and Samira can dash onto you through minions.
- Post-6: You still lose all-ins as their combined ultimates outdamage your R, especially with Braum's knockup setup.
Synergy & Trading
- Land Q when Braum is positioned away from Samira, then follow with W-E combo while Jinx provides rocket follow-up damage.
- Your trades work best when you can proc passive on both enemies simultaneously with Q-W placement.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Focus on slow-pushing waves and poking when they're farming under tower, as this limits Samira's dash angles.
- Only hard-push when you have vision of enemy jungler, as you're extremely vulnerable to ganks without flash.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E defensively against Samira's W as she can still dash afterward - save it for when Braum engages with Q.
- Never try to 1v1 trade with Samira as her lifesteal and damage will always win extended fights.
