Samira Bot guide

Samira is a marksman built to fight in melee range: Daredevil Impulse (passive) chains bonus magic damage on non-repeating hits, Wild Rush (E) dashes her through an enemy into that range, and Inferno Trigger (R) unloads on every enemy around her once she's surrounded.

The build

Rune page: Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Bloodline, and Last Stand (Precision), with Treasure Hunter and Taste of Blood (Domination). Summoners: Flash and Barrier. Skill order opens Flair (Q), Wild Rush (E), then Blade Whirl (W), maxing Flair (Q) first and Wild Rush (E) second. Starter: Doran's Blade and a Health Potion, into Gluttonous Greaves. Core build: The Collector, Infinity Edge, and Lord Dominik's Regards, with Immortal Shieldbow, Bloodthirster, and B. F. Sword as later options.

Ability mechanics

Daredevil Impulse (passive) only builds when an attack or ability differs from the last one used, and it dashes her into attack range against an Immobilized enemy, keeping a Knocked Up target airborne briefly. Wild Rush (E) dashes her through an enemy or structure, slashing everyone she passes and gaining Attack Speed, and killing a champion refreshes its cooldown. Blade Whirl (W) destroys enemy missiles while active; Inferno Trigger (R) fires at every enemy surrounding her.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Senna, Jinx, Caitlyn, Lucian, Jhin. Best matchups: Ezreal, Kai'Sa, Ashe.
