More Samira guides
This guide is assembled by the site from match data and the game's own information — nobody wrote it by hand. Official and community guides appear alongside it when they exist.
Overview
ARAM is a single lane on the Howling Abyss: fights never stop, you can't go back to base to heal or shop, and you only buy when you die. In ARAM you'll be in range of the enemy all the time: stand behind your team, and remember you can only shop when you die.
Strengths
- High physical damage: Riot rates it 8/10 in attack.
- Crowd control: Daredevil Impulse applies a knock-up to set up kills.
- Inferno Trigger hits several enemies: a strong team fight tool.
Weaknesses
- Needs protection from the team in fights.
- Predictable if you always play it the same way: adapt your build to the enemy team.

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.Passive — applies a knock-up and moves you. It works on its own: play around it.

3Fighting
Hit the closest target you can hit safely, not the one you want: a marksman that stays alive wins the fight. In ARAM you'll be in range of the enemy all the time: stand behind your team, and remember you can only shop when you die.
Tips
- In ARAM you'll be in range of the enemy all the time: stand behind your team, and remember you can only shop when you die.
- Use Inferno Trigger in every big fight: in this mode there's always another one coming.
- Don't chase alone: the enemy is always grouped.
- Pick up health packs between fights: they're your only healing outside of abilities.
