Sivir vs Samira

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Sivir's ability to block Samira's key engage with (E) and punish her short range trades.
Sivir benefits from controlled waveclear to deny Samira's dash reset and force her into unsafe all-ins.
Samira wants quick all-ins after support engage; Sivir wins extended trades and scales better into teamfights.

Trading pattern

Punish Samira stepping up for caster minion last hits with (Q) double-hit or (W) if enemy support can't punish.
Avoid auto-trading into Samira when (E) is available; step back to bait her (W) before committing.
Use (W) to hit Samira when she stands behind minions, denying her safe CS and forcing cooldowns.

Danger windows

Samira's all-in threat spikes when her support lands CC enabling her (E) dash reset; respect this window by holding back.
Avoid trading when (W) projectile block is up, as it negates your key poke and opens her all-in.
Be cautious when Samira reaches S rank and channels (R) in grouped fights; she can burst hard with resets.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin the wave with (W) and punish Samira's last hits when her (E) dash is down.
Hold (E) to block Samira's support engage or her (Q) poke, avoiding early dash resets.
Keep wave near your tower early to reduce Samira's dash angles and limit her all-in windows.

Power spikes

(E) availability is critical; use it to block Samira's engage or (Q) poke to win trades.
At level 6, (R) grants team movement advantage; coordinate engages or disengages to punish Samira's all-in attempts.
First completed marksman item enhances waveclear and poke, enabling safer plate pressure and denying Samira resets.

Win conditions

Use waveclear and (E) to deny Samira's engage and force her under tower before item spikes.
Convert CS leads into turret plates and dragon vision control to limit Samira's reset opportunities.
Scale into teamfights where (R) and (W) DPS enable superior sustained damage and safer positioning.
