Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and poke with Q, as Samira lacks gap closers to engage effectively.
- Post-6 you still have the advantage since your R provides better all-in potential and escape options than her R, which requires melee range setup.
How to Trade
- Trade with Q poke from max range, then use W when she tries to dash forward to punish her mobility.
- Follow up with E if she's low enough for an all-in, but avoid extended trades where she can stack her passive.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q to establish priority, then maintain neutral positioning to poke safely.
- Avoid hard shoving when your W is down, as this leaves you vulnerable to jungle ganks without your fear protection.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use W preemptively or waste it on minions, as it's your only protection against her E dash engage.
- Never fight in melee range where she can proc her passive and lifesteal effectively with auto attacks.
