Draven vs Samira

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Draven wins short trades by punishing Samira's last-hit attempts with active axes and support cover.
Samira needs support engage to all-in, so controlling brush and denying her dash windows is key.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto Samira during her last-hit animation only if enemy support can't punish.
Use (E) to interrupt Samira's dash (E) when she commits to an all-in or escape.
Avoid trading when axes are inactive or catch zones are controlled by enemy support pressure.

Danger windows

Samira is dangerous when her support lands CC enabling her dash (E) and (R) all-in burst.
Avoid stepping into brush or close range when (W) projectile block is available to counter your poke.
Be cautious trading when (E) dash is off cooldown and support is in position to follow.

Early game

Use the first three waves to keep axes active and punish Samira stepping up on low-health minions.
Prioritize support control of brush to safely catch axes near Samira's CS zone.
Avoid large waves that force unsafe axe catches and open Samira's dash all-in window.

Power spikes

Level 1: (Q) axes let you heavily out-trade Samira's short range before she can engage.
First completed damage item turns axe trades into kill threats; use it to force recalls.
Samira's level 6 (R) spike demands you respect her all-in only after allied CC is used.

Win conditions

Convert early axe damage and support pressure into CS leads and turret plate damage.
Force Samira to recall early to delay her item spikes and reset potential.
Use lane priority and cash-in stacks to secure dragon vision and teamfight DPS positioning.

Tip: For Draven vs Samira, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast ADC lane check.
