Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is even before her tools are online, but from level 2 Samira takes over. Her Blade Whirl negates your Phosphorus Bomb and Missile Barrage, and her Wild Rush plus passive style stacks let her dash in, brawl, and reset off any minion, so respect her all-in constantly and don't hand her free combo stacks.
