Samira Wild Rift Build Guide

Samira Runes

Samira's strong point is the damage from her ultimate for wide area damage. Conquest will stack with Samira's continuous moves to deal explosive damage to the entire enemy team.

Samira is very easy to get a pentakill if she can stay until the end of the teamfight. Picking this gem on every kill heals Samira for some health. This will be the premise for Samira to achieve pentakill.

Nullifying Orb is an important rune that protects Samira while below 35% health. Samira is forced to rush into the enemy squad to launch the ultimate, so she often takes a lot of damage. You have to stay alive until you can unleash the ultimate to maximize Samira's power.

Sweet Tooth will make Samira's laning phase easier. A strong champion in the late game, so the laning phase is usually quite weak. Choose this rune to last longer.

How to play Samira

Use different skills interspersed with basic attacks to reach S rank fastest. The best way is to learn Samira's combos to be more forehand.

However, you should avoid focusing too much on the enemy team to accumulate style points without paying attention to your health bar. Only rush when you have at least A's or the champions with CC skills have used up, or avoid rushing into champions with lots of CC skills.

Early game play it's safe to aim to level up early to unlock skills, allowing Samira's mobility to activate. Remember that when you reach level 5 Samira will unlock this skill for terrible damage.

So rely on the support champion to avoid unnecessary transactions. If he encounters long-armed generals, Samira is still difficult to farm, let alone trade damage at the first levels.

Guns to farm ranged minions, swords to farm melee minions. Can be used to eat minions from afar while avoiding being poked without worrying about consuming too much mana.

And in case you need to push the soldiers quickly, use the sword. Because in the form of a sword, the damage is relatively large and wide.

When the enemy champion is immobilized, attack to knock up the enemy champion thanks to the passive. From here you can imagine Samira is suitable to go with support champions with the ability to control.

Once you have style points and the ability to approach enemy champions, you can now play stronger. Mid-game is also Samira's strongest phase.

At the end of the game, don't wait to start the fight, let your tank champion open and receive most of the control skills. Then jump in.
