How to Beat Samira as Ashe (ADC)

While statistically Ashe is slightly stronger than Samira as ADC, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Ashe deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Samira deals mainly physical damage (86.04%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Samira, ranking 6th (versus 8th for Ashe) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.2 versus 2.3) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Ashe ADC versus Samira ADC matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Ashe player to maintain constant pressure on Samira, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Ashe tips:

  • Try to fire Enchanted Crystal Arrow in the same direction enemies are moving, so it is more likely to hit.
  • Volley arrows are blocked by the first enemy they hit, so keep your distance to avoid having them all absorbed by enemy frontliners.
  • Hawkshot reveals units in brush. If a team fight is occuring in the jungle it can give you a significant advantage.
