Ashe vs Samira

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Ashe wins extended trades by using slows and poke to kite Samira's all-in attempts.
Control wave near mid lane to punish Samira stepping up for melee or cannon minions.
Samira's all-in depends on support engage and (W) projectile block; deny these windows.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or (W) poke when Samira uses (E) dash or (W) projectile block is down.
Only punish last hits if enemy support is out of zone range or cannot immediately trade back.
Use (Q) empowered autos after slowing Samira to extend trades and prevent her reset chains.

Danger windows

Samira's all-in is dangerous when her support lands CC enabling her (E) dash reset.
Respect (W) projectile block timing; avoid stepping up when it can block your key slows or poke.
Avoid trading when Samira channels (R) with Style stacks and support ready to follow up.

Early game

Use first three waves to thin casters and keep wave just outside Samira's auto range.
Punish Samira's last-hit attempts on melee or cannon minions when support cannot trade back.
Hold (W) and autos to slow Samira and force her to use (W) defensively before she can dash in.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks long-range pick threat; use it with support follow-up to punish Samira's overstep.
First completed marksman item strengthens sustained poke and slows, allowing safer extended trades.
Two-item utility DPS spike improves kiting and teamfight presence against Samira's all-in burst.

Win conditions

Convert poke and slows into lane priority to force Samira under tower and deny CS.
Use (R) picks to start fights around dragon or turret plates with support or jungle follow-up.
Scale into teamfights where Ashe's utility and kiting outvalue Samira's burst resets.
