Who this hero answers, and why.

  • Nilah

    Samira attacks from 500 units and Nilah from 225: every trade in lane happens at a distance they cannot answer.

Abilities

Samira's attacks against enemies affected by Immobilizing effects will dash her to her attack range. If the enemy is Knocked Up , she also keeps them Knocked Up briefly.

From the guide «Samira Guide»

Samira · ADC

Standard build

Patch 16.19.1
BalancedRecommended

The default path: Stormrazor, Yun Tal Wildarrows and Blade of The Ruined King give the attack damage, critical strike and attack speed this class relies on. Pick it when you have no reason to adapt. Built from Riot's item tags and the champion's class; Riot publishes no build statistics.

Samira · ADC

Crit build

Patch 16.19.1
OffensiveAdvanced

All-in on damage: Lord Dominik's Regards, The Collector and Infinity Edge stack attack damage, critical strike and armor penetration. Choose it when you're ahead or the enemy team is fragile — it gives up safety for kill pressure.

Samira · ADC

Defensive build

Patch 16.19.1
DefensiveSituational

Keeps enough damage while adding magic resist, attack damage and life steal through Mercurial Scimitar, Maw of Malmortius and Bandlepipes. Choose it against dive, assassins or a lane you can't win.
