Overview

Samira wins by blocking (Q) with (W) and punishing his forced last-hit positions.
The lane favors Samira in short all-ins after support engage, while Ezreal controls poke and safe farming.
Samira needs to force Ezreal out of minion cover to capitalize on her all-in and reset potential.

Trading pattern

Punish Ezreal when he steps forward for caster minions or cannon minion last hits if enemy support can't immediately trade back.
Use (W) to block (Q) before committing with (E) dash for resets.
Avoid engaging if (E) is available or if enemy support controls brush or the engage zone.

Danger windows

(E) reposition denies your engage; avoid dashing in when (E) is available.
When enemy support controls brush or is ready to follow engage, do not punish Ezreal's last hits.
Avoid stepping forward when (Q) is off cooldown and minions do not block his skillshots.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold the wave near your side and punish Ezreal's last hits outside minion cover.
Avoid dashing in before your support's CC or before Ezreal uses (E) to escape.
Track (Q) cooldown to know when you can safely approach for trades or all-ins.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) spike lets Samira convert stacked Style quickly in grouped fights; wait for allied CC before committing.
First completed damage item increases Samira's all-in threat and reset potential; force fights with support setup.
Respect Ezreal's first item spike as his (Q) poke becomes more threatening; avoid stepping up without (W) ready.

Win conditions

Crash waves after successful all-ins to take turret plates and force Ezreal recalls.
Use bot priority from all-in resets to secure dragon vision and control objectives with your team.
