Item Build Description

Additional information on the items

Bloodthirster : When she is running in with her combos, she will die very quickly, so having physical vamp and overshield from the passive will help her survive longer and deal more damage.

Infinity Edge : Extra attack damage and more critical strike damage awesome for her damage

Mortal Reminder : Against all ADC champions and healer supports like Yuumi , Sona , Karma ...

Guardian Angel : Due to her playstyle she may die quickly, especially during her Inferno Trigger . This is must for her.

Black Cleaver : This can help you against tanks and when enemy build armor.

Serylda's Grudge : Good against high mobility champions such as Vayne , Yasuo , Akali ...

Samira 's kit doesn't interact with attack speed, which means that building an attack speed item is useless.

Samira Runes

Best Runes for Samira

Keystone

Conqueror

Domination

Hunter Vampirism

Resolve

Ultimate Shield

Inspiration

Nimbus Cloak

Conqueror : Best keystone rune for her. Samira is aggressive attacker champion. She uses her abilities and combos to deal damage. She can get six stacks quickly so deal extra damage and gain vamp.

Hunter Vampirism : Hunter Vampirism grants its user an increase in vampirism with each takedown, hence it is the best domination rune for Samira

Triumph : Takedowns restores health, she is a teamfight champion so this can help you for pentakill.

Nimbus Cloak : It gives movement speed when using summoner spells so she can move around faster and help for combos.

Sweet Tooth : This will make Samira 's laning phase easier.

Hunter Genius : Removed (Patch 4.2)

Don't stay close minions, her Double Up is very powerful even in early game

Tips & Tricks

Abilities blocked by spell shields will still grant Samira style stacks.
Samira still generates style stacks against command clones.
The Blade attack's range condition is unaffected by Rapid Firecannon
Blade range is calculated edge-to-edge just like basic attack ranges are, hence both Samira gaining bonus size or her target increases the total distance at which she can attack them with the blade.
Self-applied or allied-applied immobilizes from the enemy will count for the empowered attack to trigger.
Those applied by the neutral team (Dragon's initial knock back) can be targeted
The empowered attack is unaffected by attack speed modifiers.
While grounded or rooted, Samira can't dash into range to use the empowered attack. The attack is still usable while within her attack range.
The empowered attack can't be used against a target with a spell shield.
A missile that is parried by Riposte , dodged by Counter Strike , blocked by Spirit's Refuge or missed while Samira is blinded by Blinding Dart won't apply the knock up.
If Flair is cast during Wild Rush , Samira deploys explosives in her wake that detonate upon the end of the dash, dealing the same damage to enemies hit.
Casting Flash during Wild Rush will interrupt the dash but deal damage to nearby enemies at the location. If Flair was cast during this time, an explosive will also be placed at that location.
Using Wild Rush or Flash when casting Inferno Trigger will not cancel it.
A nearby visible enemy is required to cast Inferno Trigger and targets don't have to be visible to be shot at.
Inferno Trigger will end prematurely by airborne, charm, taunt, flee, sleep, polymorph, silence, stun, suppression and suspension.

Support Synergies

Samira can dominate the lane her way to winning the laneby pairing her with supports with knock-up abilities that complements with her passive. The aim is to form an effective synergy with her support by executing hard engages and all-ins, and put pressure on her opponents. These things can be possible with a tank support on her side.

Nautilus : 5 forms of crowd control, He can root enemies to the ground, pull enemies towards him knocking them up and stunning them, decaying slow and another knock-up. These earns him a spot on the best supports for Samira . Upon getting immobilized by Nautilus ’ abilities, Samira can eventually follow up with her Daredevil Impulse or Wild Rush knock enemies up for a longer time again with her passive. Nautilus ’ kit supplements Samira ’s aggressive playstyle allowing her to further increase her early game strength.

Braum : You can stun enemies with him Concussive Blows and easily catch enemies with Glacial Fissure . His ability to protect is perfect for every ADC champions.

Alistar : He can close the large gap between him and the target enemy in the blink of an eye with Headbutt and knock them up with Pulverize . To further prolong their suffering, Alistar can restrain their movement with a root from Trample. With these, Samira can quickly knock them up again. Laning phase (especially when enemy jungler gank) would become bearable as well with Alistar as his passive allows him and his nearest ally to restore a bit of their health.
