Abilities

Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.

PASSIVE DAREDEVIL IMPULSE

Samira builds a combo by hitting attacks or abilities unique from the previous hit. Samira's attacks in melee range deal additional magic damage. Samira's attacks against enemies affected by Immobilizing effects will dash her to her attack range. If the enemy is Knocked Up, she also keeps them Knocked Up briefly.

1 FLAIR

Samira fires a shot or swings her sword, dealing damage. If cast during Wild Rush, strike all enemies in her path upon completion.

2 BLADE WHIRL

Samira slashes around her, damaging enemies and destroying enemy missiles.

3 WILD RUSH

Samira dashes through an enemy (including structures), slashing enemies she passes through and gaining Attack Speed. Killing an enemy champion refreshes this ability's cooldown.

ULTIMATE INFERNO TRIGGER

Samira unleashes a torrent of shots from her weapons, wildly shooting all enemies surrounding her.
