Guide to Synergizing Nasus and Samira

Tips for Playing as Nasus with Samira

Paying attention to last hitting with Siphoning Strike will have a large impact at the end of a game.

If you're solo, Spirit Fire is a great way to farm a lane. It can be bad if you're in a lane with 2 and you push too far. Find the right balance between Siphoning Strike last hits and AoE farming.

If you have low defenses, people will focus you down even during your ultimate. Try buying some survivability items even in your DPS builds.

By locking into the same team as Nasus, she drops their win rate by -2.1% to 48.2%. This demonstrates that there is a negative strategic relationship between Nasus and Samira that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Samira has a lower difficulty than Nasus. That means Nasus players don't need to be very careful when finding Samira comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Working cooperatively, Nasus players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by grouping Nasus and Samira together, you probably will not be giving your team much crowd control. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that helps cover this hole in their kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Samira ally, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
