82% of Samira's damage to champions is physical, so enemy armor is what slows it down. It brings almost no crowd control, so it relies on teammates to set up kills. It dies 13.7 times per game on average: it trades its life for impact, so time your engages with your team.
The Crit build, critical strike and attack speed items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: The Collector, Infinity Edge and Lord Dominik's Regards, with a 48.9% win rate over 908,570 games. On this build 41% of players skip boots and spend the slot on another item.
The cards that do best on Samira are Draw Your Sword, Weapon of Destiny and Escape Plan. Cards built around movement speed fill most of the top of its list, followed by attack damage. Skip Dashing and From Downtown when you can: they do worst on Samira. A pair to look for: Draw Your Sword with Weapon of Destiny.
Take Flash and Mark (90% of players). Max Q (Flair) first, then E, then W.
