How to win lane as Ashe against Samira · 50.87% win rate over 5,614 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ashe | Level 1 is yours because W and Frost Shot poke the melee Samira before her combo exists. |
| Level 2 | Ashe | Level 2 stays yours as more W lets you punish every step she takes toward CS. |
| Level 3 | Ashe | Level 3 favours you since Q wins the trade whenever she tries to weave in. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even as her Style combo ramps against your slow control. |
| Level 6 | Samira | Level 6 flips to Samira because Inferno Trigger plus Blade Whirl and support CC all-ins you with no escape. |
| First item | Samira | First item favours Samira as her dash resets and lifesteal beat fair trades through your poke. |
| Two+ items | Ashe | Two-plus items swings back to you as permaslow and R stun her out of the combo and deny her dash chains. |
Levels 1-3 are yours: Samira has to fight at short range and stack her Style combo, so W (Volley) and Frost Shot chunk her every time she approaches, and Q punishes any weave-in. Your permaslow strips the dash tempo she needs, so zone her off farm and deny her rhythm.
