Samira vs Hwei

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on blocking Hwei's key poke with (W) to enable safe all-ins.
Samira wins short trades post-engage; Hwei controls sustained poke and wave priority.
Prioritize volatile fights where Samira's resets and (R) can snowball kills over passive farming.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or (Q) Hwei when he commits to last-hitting low-health minions if enemy support is out of position.
Use (W) to block Hwei's key poke spells before committing to an (E) dash for resets.
Avoid trading if enemy support controls brush or threat zone, as Hwei's poke and CC can punish your step forward.

Danger windows

Respect (E) spellbook CC (fear or root) combined with enemy support follow-up for lethal engage.
Avoid stepping forward when (R) is available and enemy support can chain CC or poke.
Do not dash in before (W) is ready to block Hwei's poke or before allied CC secures a safe reset.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold near your turret and punish Hwei's last hits if support cannot respond.
Avoid dashing in before your support's engage cooldown to prevent getting locked down by (E).
Thin the wave to deny Hwei's poke angles and reduce his ability to control space with (Q) and (E).

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling Samira to convert full Style stacks into fight-winning burst after allied CC.
First completed damage item increases all-in damage and reset threat, making fights harder for Hwei to survive.
Level 3 unlocks full kit; use this to block poke and prepare for all-in windows rather than forcing fights.

Win conditions

Convert successful (W) projectile blocks and allied CC into all-ins to stack Style and secure resets.
Use lane pressure from forced recalls or wave crashes to take plates and set up dragon vision.
Snowball item spikes into bot-side skirmishes where Samira's mobility and burst outmatch Hwei's poke and control.
