Samira wild rift counter tips:

If possible, ban Samira.

Choose champions with poke and CC abilities. Champions with strong fighting ability from the beginning of the game will prevent Samira from snowballing.

Once Samira has used the Wild Rush skill you can attack her. Wild Rush is Samira’s only movement tool.

Samira’s ultimate (Inferno Trigger) deals AOE damage within range. To counter it, try not to stand close to your allies, move away from its area of effect, and avoid fighting Samira when she has maximum style points.

In combat, lock Samira with CC before she deals tons of AOE damage to your team.

Use Ignite on Samira as quickly as possible in combat. This will reduce Samira’s ability to recover in combat.

Samira will be weakest when she is out of mana or has not reached maximum style points. Find a way to destroy Samira while she’s missing one of these.
