Samira Wild Rift Expert Guide

§ 07b — Advanced MechanicsSamira: combos & tips Wild Rift

Standard combo (reach S)

1 AA

3 AA

5 AA

Alternate between AAs and unique skills to increase Style from E to S — each unique action increases the Style by one level

Advanced combo

1 AA

6 AA

Use button 2 twice (first press and return) as two separate style inputs

Short trade combo

Block projectiles with button 2, dash with button 3 to reposition or chase

Mechanical Tips

Daredevil Impulse (passive): each UNIQUE action (different from the previous one) increases Style by one level — NEVER use the same ability twice in a row (e.g. AA → AA does not increase Style)
Blade Whirl (2) as an anti-projectile: activates a whirlwind that destroys incoming projectiles for 1s — time it precisely against targeted pokes (Ashe’s arrows, Ezreal’s Q, Lux’s E)
Wild Rush (3): a dash that passes through an enemy or allied unit — use to dodge skillshots by passing through an ally or an enemy
Inferno Trigger only at S: the ultimate is activated ONLY with an ‘S’ Style rating — if Style is lost (stasis, death), restart the build-up from E
Style decay: Style resets after a few seconds of inactivity — maintain an active combat rhythm to avoid losing the stacks again

Common Mistakes

Repeating the same action: AA → AA → AA does not increase the Style level — always vary between AA, 1, 2 and 3 for each new input
Ult out of melee range: Inferno Trigger is a melee ability — ensure the target is within melee range before activating it
Blade Whirl too late: the 2 button must be pressed BEFORE the enemy projectile — if you react after it’s launched, it’s often too late; learn the enemies’ poke patterns to anticipate it

Notable Interactions

Samira can cancel the Inferno Trigger animation with a Flash to reposition herself mid-ult [to be confirmed in WR]
Wild Rush (3) resets its cooldown on a kill or assist — in teamfights against low-health enemies, Samira’s mobility becomes virtually limitless
With Blade of the Ruined King + Infinity Edge, critical strikes during Inferno Trigger are extremely powerful
