Samira vs Zeri

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Samira blocking (W) poke and punishing her short range early trades.
Samira wins short burst trades with support engage, while Zeri thrives in extended fights near walls.
Samira should force volatile fights post-engage to snowball before Zeri scales into long kiting.

Trading pattern

Use (W) to block (W) laser before engaging with (E) and (Q) burst.
Punish Zeri's last-hit attempts when she is forced into narrow CS paths without support threat.
Avoid dashing in without allied CC or when (W) is down to prevent being kited.

Danger windows

Avoid trading when (E) dash is up and support can follow for CC.
Do not engage if enemy support controls brush or threat zone preventing your dash reset.
Beware of (W) poke through walls before objectives or when you lack (W) to block it.

Early game

Hold wave near your turret early to limit Zeri's dash (E) escape and poke angles.
Punish Zeri stepping up for caster minion CS only if enemy support can't punish back.
Avoid using (E) aggressively before level 3 to prevent being kited or locked down.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks Samira's reset potential; wait for allied CC to commit.
First completed damage item strengthens all-in damage and reset chains; force fights with support setup.
Respect Zeri's level 6 (R) for extended fights; disengage quickly to avoid feeding her mobility.

Win conditions

Convert support engage and (W) projectile blocks into reset chains and turret plate damage.
Force Zeri into short burst trades before her item spikes to deny farm and force recalls.
Use lane priority to secure dragon vision and set up grouped all-ins where Samira excels.

Tip: For Samira vs Zeri, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast ADC lane check.
