Read from Twitch's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Samira.
This is Twitch's own plan; across 7,082 pooled games the lane is leaning Samira.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Twitch | You win level 1 by denying Samira the close-range trades she needs for Style. |
| Level 2 | Twitch | At 2 your ranged stacks and Q threat keep the melee-reliant Samira out. |
| Level 3 | Twitch | Your level-3 detonation punishes her while her dash is committed. |
| Levels 4-5 | Twitch | Through 4-5 you hold lane control poking from behind minions. |
| Level 6 | Samira | Her level-6 Inferno Trigger execute shreds your side if she reaches S-rank. |
| First item | Samira | With one item her ult and W-blocked all-in give her the 2v2 edge. |
| Two+ items | Twitch | By two items your stealth flank beats her front-facing W and you pierce her first. |
Level 1-2 you're ahead: Samira has to fight up close to build Style, so stay behind minions, chip poison stacks, and keep your Q re-engage threat up while her E has no dash target. She has to fight up close to build her grade, so stay behind minions, chip the stacks and keep the re-engage threat rather than spending it. Venom Cask covers her dash. Never leave a low minion between the two of you, and let your poison rather than an exchange settle the lane.
