Read from Senna's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Samira.
This is Senna's own plan; across 10,825 pooled games the lane is leaning Senna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Senna | Senna out-ranges the short-range Samira and controls the level 1 trade. |
| Level 2 | Senna | Level 2 Q poke keeps Samira from starting her combo early. |
| Level 3 | Senna | At 3 Senna chips Samira before she can stack Style-meter trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Senna | Through 4-5 Senna kites and denies Samira the extended fights she wants. |
| Level 6 | Samira | At 6 Samira's Inferno Trigger flips the lane into her all-in kill window. |
| First item | Samira | First item plus dash resets make Samira the dominant 2v2 threat. |
| Two+ items | Senna | By 2+ items Senna's range and root punish a carry who must dive point-blank. |
You control levels 1-2; Senna out-ranges the short-range Samira, so poke her before she can start a combo and deny her the extended trades her kit is built around. Her whole pattern needs close range, so poke her before it starts and root the step-in rather than the retreat. Piercing Darkness heals the damage she does land. Collect souls at distance and refuse the extended trade, because a Samira who cannot grade up is one who cannot fight.
