One of Samira's worst counters. all point and click cc champs are a counter to her especially the ones who cant be stopped by her W
Sona
cc can be stopped by Samira's W but its pretty hard.
Janna
easy to dodge cc.
Varus
hard to dodge his ultimate or block it with W. but you can block his q after he hits the ult which will block alot of his damage
Lillia
her ult IS dodge-able if you time your w when she ults but its pretty hard.
Caitlyn
you can block her ultimate or a headshot with your w
Annie
not huge threat if you can block her q but if she stuns you with ultimate you're dead
Braum
hard to kill and can cc you out of your ultimate
Lux
You can block her q and her e with your W but not her ultimate so watch out for that
Brand
Easy matchup since you can hold your W to stop his ult
Fizz
If you can react fast enough to W his ultimate he can't kill you but its pretty hard
Bard
troll support vs samira since you can block his ultimate and his q.
Vayne
not too hard to kill but don't let her scale since she beats you late game
Lulu
useless against you
Zilean
dont get stunned by his q's and he should be an easy kill.
Draven
Dodge. on a serious note he deals insane damage and one-shots you but you can block one of his q auto's and he will not receive the axe back
Zyra
you can block her e with W but her ultimate will make your life hell
Swain
Block his e and he can't peel anymore but you will never be able to kill him post-6 without grievious wounds
Yuumi
useless support. buy grievious and it becomes a 4v5
Karma
point and click cc and not block-able by your w. hard matchup
Tristana
if you are fast enough to block her e you would be mitigating half her damage output but it isn't as easy as it seems
Twitch
save your w to partially block his ultimate, helping your team by stopping a lot of oncoming damage. hard matchup though
Morgana
Her spell shield lets you cast your ultimate in teamfights while being uninterrupted and her q helps you activate your knock-up passive in lane.
Alistar
okay suppor with samira by healing her, tanking spells and cc'ing enemy adc in lane
Karma
good support with her shields and her root is good to proc your passive
Zyra
helps with damage and has good crowd control
Lulu
okay support by keeping you alive but doesn't offer cc / damage
Braum
offers good slows and shielding capabilities and his cc is good
Tahm Kench
bad synergy due to lack of reliable cc and he doesn't really help you other than being a meat shield. his w can be useful sometimes but also unreliable
Zilean
good support due to his reliable damage, he also gives you speed helping you reach the enemy team with your ultimate and his ultimate will give you a second chance
Amumu
ok support. offers some cc and tanky-ness.
Xerath
ok synergy, helping you with poke in lane and has his e for cc. can help finish off kills with rite of the arcane (R)
Nidalee
please no nid support
Ashe
Good support and underrated pick. helps a lot with cc and damage. also provides vision with Hawkshot (E)
Bard
Gives ok sustain in lane but has some unreliable cc
Kayle
really good support with her Ult and move speed from w but unreliable in lane until level 6
Taric
Really good ult. Reliable cc. good cc
Vel'Koz
good cc and damage. good in lane but easily killed in late game
Sona
Really good late game support but tough to get there. laning phase will be hell
Leona
Really good and reliable cc and tanky-ness
Brand
bad cc but huge damage opening opportunities for clean up situations
Pantheon
ok cc and tanky-ness and damage
Yuumi
Yuumi is bad because she doesn't provide good cc or tanking opportunities.
Lillia
Really good when she hits 4 people with her ultimate letting you go in freely and getting ultimate
Janna
bad support because her ultimate pushes the enemies far away from each other which is not what you want. her cc is bad and she doesn't offer anything other than her shield
Nautilus
Really good due to his insane amount of cc and his tanky-ness. really good at tower dives and strong throughout the whole game
Soraka
ok support because of her good heals but doesn't offer much else.
Lux
good support. has ok cc, offers a shield and deals a ton of damage
Rakan
ok support. ok cc but gives a good amount of shields
Shen
really good support by helping with taking aggro and his w can help you take some extra hits. his ultimate is a life saver
Maokai
okay support with okay cc. he is pretty tanky
Malphite
he doesn't offer cc and if he goes full AP he wont help you at all

Hello! My name is Dodi and I am making this guide about Samira due to the lack of information about this champion
Summary of the Champion
I think that Samira is a high skill cap champion that will be very strong when played right. Her kit is reminds me of Tristana, but a much stronger version of her, since Tristana's damage is mostly on a single target while Samira's damage is spread out on multiple targets making her more reliable.
Q - Flair
Samira's Q is her main tool to stack up her passive (Daredevil's impulse)
Try to put in auto attacks between q's in order to stack your passive more efficiently.
W - Blade Whirl
This is Samira's main defensive ability, and its key use is to block cc that can stop you from using your ultimate for the whole duration, or in general blocking abilities that can kill you.
Unfortunately this ability has high cooldown all throughout the game so use it wisely
E - Wild Rush
Samira's E helps her close gaps between her and her enemies. This ability resets upon takedown which helps her get in and get out.
R - Inferno Trigger
This is Samira's main damaging ability and it also helps her survive since it applies on hit effects which means it applies lifesteal.
This ability can be cancelled by crowd control.
Basic Playstyle
Samira's basic playstyle is stacking up her passive from afar in teamfights and when her rank is S, try to e onto an enemy, flash in the middle of the enemy team and blast them to hell. Nimbus cloak would have been activated from your flash which helps catch up to your enemies
