•Play by the Samira rule “count the letters, then spend the dash”: weave distinct hits toward S, use W as a two-note stack tool, and let E-Q be the fast close once the stop spell is gone, because Samira cashes style strings rather than forcing entry raw
•Lane is an HP budget for one real all-in, so use Q to tax step-ups, drop the CS that costs too much health, and keep enough bar that level 3 or 6 plus allied engage is still lethal; Samira is punished harder than most peer ADCs when that early buy timing slips
•Good Samira games chain before the map resets: stay near the next skirmish where one takedown can turn into an E reset or aggressive Flash multikill, because recent data puts her at the top of bot lane for solo-kill and early off-lane kill swing
