Samira vs Ashe

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Samira needs to survive Ashe's poke and wait for support engage to safely dash in and stack Style.
Ashe controls lane with slows and poke, so Samira wins by punishing last-hit windows after (W) blocks key projectiles.
The lane favors short explosive trades for Samira, while Ashe excels at extended poke and utility control.

Trading pattern

Punish Ashe when she last-hits melee or cannon minions within your (Q) and auto range if enemy support can't punish.
Use (W) to block (W) before committing with (E) dash and stack Style for resets.
Avoid engaging if Ashe's support controls brush or can immediately counter-engage after your dash.

Danger windows

(R) stun combined with support follow-up creates lethal engage windows; avoid stepping forward without backup.
When (W) is up and support is in range, Samira's dash is punishable if used prematurely.
Losing brush control or stepping near low-health minions can expose Samira to poke and follow-up slows.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold near your tower and punish Ashe stepping up for caster minions.
Avoid dashing in before your support lands CC or (W) is spent to prevent getting kited.
Track (W) cooldown to time your (W) block and follow-up engage safely after it expires.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for Samira, enabling fight-winning burst after stacking Style and allied CC setup.
First completed damage item increases Samira's all-in damage and reset potential, forcing Ashe to respect trades.
Ashe's level 6 (R) requires Samira to respect arrow angles and only engage when support CC is ready.

Win conditions

Convert support engage into all-in fights by stacking Style and resetting with (E) on low-health targets.
Punish Ashe's forced last hits to build a CS and health lead, then crash wave for turret plates and dragon control.
Use post-spike all-ins to force Ashe under tower and deny her poke and slow pressure before objectives.
