Ranked by how close their five-axis heatmap looks — role-agnostic.

Where it thrives (5-comp fit)

  • Protectnatural · 70%
  • Attackworkable · 30%
  • Catchforced · 20%
  • Samira is the scaling carry a Protect shell exists to keep alive. Enough Attack and Catch sits in the kit to fight front-to-back when the enemy forces it. W (Blade Whirl) destroys incoming projectiles while spinning, but locks out basic attacks and Q during the 0.75s channel.

Kit quirks

  • W (Blade Whirl) destroys incoming projectiles while spinning, but locks out basic attacks and Q during the 0.75s channel
  • E (Wild Rush) resets on takedowns within 3s and can be cast during Q or R, enabling long combo chains
  • R (Inferno Trigger) costs 6 Style stacks (built via her passive) and unleashes rapid crit-capable shots for ~2s

Duo playbook

  • Leona
    + Leona (Bot/Support)

    The level-3 spike is the key breakpoint — Samira's W can parry incoming poke and Leona's W shields through it — turning an even trade into a strong all-in; Leona's level-6 chain CC then buys enough time for Samira to stack her passive and unload her ultimate.
