Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win through superior range and Q poke while Samira struggles to gap close effectively.
- Post-6: Samira gains kill pressure with R, but your R provides strong counter-play to her all-ins making positioning crucial.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q through minions to poke both enemies while setting up feathers, then look for E recalls when they step forward.
- Your strongest trading pattern is Q-auto-auto-E when enemies are positioned in your feather line.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain slow pushes to keep the wave in favorable positions while using Q to poke and farm simultaneously.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can recall safely, as Poppy+Samira excel at punishing overextended positions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E defensively too early - save it for when Samira commits with E or when Poppy lands a wall stun.
- Never position where Poppy can E you into walls without having R available to escape the follow-up.
