Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Samira wins short trades with (W) blocking Sivir's key projectiles and follow-up engage from support.
The lane turns on denying (E) and punishing her short auto range during last hits.
Samira needs to force volatile fights after allied engage to stack Style and reset through kills.

Trading pattern

Punish Sivir's last-hit attempts only if enemy support cannot immediately trade or zone you.
Use (W) to block her (Q) double-hit or support poke, then dash in with (E) to stack Style.
Avoid dashing before support CC or enemy cooldowns are spent to prevent being locked down.

Danger windows

(E) blocks your key engage or poke spells; avoid committing when it's available.
Avoid trading when enemy support controls brush or can immediately follow your engage with CC.
Be cautious when dashing without reset potential, as you become vulnerable to kiting and lockdown.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin the wave and punish Sivir when she last-hits near your range.
Avoid stepping forward if enemy support controls brush or threat zone, as Sivir can punish with (W).
Hold (W) to block (Q) or support engage spells before committing to trades or dashes.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) enables Samira to convert full Style stacks into fight-winning burst after support engage.
First completed damage item boosts Samira's all-in damage and reset threat, increasing kill pressure.
Wait for enemy (E) to be baited before committing to trades to maximize all-in potential.

Win conditions

Convert health and cooldown advantages into crashing waves to pressure Sivir under turret and take plates.
Use support engage windows to all-in, stack Style, and reset for extended skirmishes and kills.
Deny Sivir free farm by punishing last hits and force her to use (E) defensively, delaying her scaling.
