Samira vs Twitch

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Samira wins short trades after blocking Twitch's key poke with (W) and following support CC.
Twitch scales better with stealth and late-game DPS, so Samira must force early all-ins with support help.
The lane turns on denying Twitch safe stealth re-entry and punishing his low early agency.

Trading pattern

Punish Twitch's last-hit attempts when he walks up without stealth and enemy support can't punish.
Use (W) to block (W) slow or poke, then follow up with (E) dash only after support CC lands.
Avoid trading if enemy support controls brush or threat zone, as Twitch can safely disengage or punish.

Danger windows

(Q) stealth combined with support follow-up creates lethal engage windows; avoid stepping forward unseen.
Avoid trading when Twitch's poison stacks enable (E) burst damage after prolonged fights.
Be cautious when (R) is active near minion waves or grouped allies for piercing DPS.

Early game

Use the first three waves to punish Twitch stepping up for caster minions when his support can't contest.
Hold (W) to block (W) slow or poke before committing to trades.
Avoid dashing in with (E) before allied CC or Twitch's stealth cooldown is spent.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for Samira, enabling strong all-ins after stacking Style and allied CC.
First completed damage item increases Samira's all-in damage and reset potential, forcing fights with support setup.
Respect Twitch's level 6 (R) spike by avoiding grouped positions where his piercing autos hit multiple targets.

Win conditions

Convert blocked poke and support CC into all-ins to stack Style and reset with (E) for kills.
Use lane priority from successful trades to crash waves, take plates, and force Twitch recalls.
Leverage early item spikes and bot priority to secure dragon vision and teamfight positioning before Twitch scales.
