Champion Build Guide

Hey! I'm xMontu, A long time league of legends player. I watch a lot of pro games and players and may not have the best mechanics, but I have a large amount of knowledge in the game. I've hit Platinum as an ADC, Mid Laner and Jungler. I am extremely excited to play Samira and become one of if not the best at her. I had a similar goal with Qiyana and Aphelios which i achieved and become top 50 with her ranking up over 250k Points with each of them combined between all accounts. But I'm even more interested and devoted to Samira. This guide will always be changing because I will put almost all my time into mastering his arsenal.

I will be livestreaming a lot of Samira as I learn to master her arsenal over on my twitch channel at https://www.twitch.tv/xmontu all support is greatly appreciated!

I will also be making a lot of content mostly about Samira as I learn to play her and find all the cool/ funny mechanics over on my Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrGxTFgHXVEB2Adz4pK4-Vw all support is greatly appreciated!

: It is extremely easy to proc, while also giving you so much value because of Samiras fast paced and high damage playstyle.

: Helps with Mana sustain since Samira is a ability focused adc and uses up a lot of mana. Same reason why is a core item.

: Gives great sustain when used with Conqueror and results in a crazy amount of healing.

: Best rune in this tree.

: Always a great option to get that MS on spell usage, which Samira gets so much value off of, keeps you on par with other Nimbus cloak using adcs

: Makes your already great late game even better, and is one of the best runes in this tree

Flash is necessary and super useful on almost every champion on the game. Always. Take. Flash.

is the most common combat spell since it allows you to heal up to win a fight or to just survive, and allows you to use to speed for either engage or disengage.

is useful in cases where there are champions on the enemy team(especially in bot lane) that have a single or at the very most 2 CC/lockdown abilities. You are extremely vulnerable to them and will almost always lead to a death. Cleanse can be useful in situations where the enemy has those kinds of champions such as and

is really useful when there is an all-in Support with either a pull, or multiple CC abilities such as and

: Extremely gold efficient and gives a lot of good stats including the extra AD, Health, and Life Steal.

: Great Item to buy, grants AD, Crit, and most importantly the CDR you need to spam abilities combined with the passive to get mana sustain

: The amount of Damage that you dish out with this item is crazy, literally enough to 100-0 someone. You will need the Damage because your next 2 core items are Attack Speed Items.

: Good Mobility, and Extra Attack speed which is very valuable on Samira.

: An absolutely huge item for Samira granting her not only life steal but giving her a lot more survivability.

OR : Either one of these items will bring you up to 100% crit if you absolutely need it. Choosing between the two will come down to either defense or extra damage. will offer you the lifeline passive which will give you a defensive shield when you reach a certain health threshold. Meanwhile gives you extra aoe damage if you can afford not getting the lifeline passive.

: Most games you will need a last whisper item especially now in the tank meta most teams will have 1-2 tanks. Either or depending on the enemy team comp. Most of the time is the best option because of the amount of healing in the game right now. But if the enemy team lacks a lot of healing as has a lot of armor will be the better option.

: I don't think i need to explain the reasoning for this... I mean its GA the best defensive option for adcs, the resurrect passive can literally turn a fight entirely. It's a jail out of free card if you make a positioning mistake.

: If there is a strong AP Burst Champ on the enemy team and you absolutely need the Magic Shield, this item is available but not recommended unless NEEDED.

: Same reason's as Bloodthirster, while it does have less lifesteal then it has the added benefit of having that passive that can get you out of a really rough spot. This item is of course a lot more situational then Bloodthirster and will take some getting used to.
