Is Samira better when played alongside Darius?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Samira that will always be her ideal ally. However, overall, Darius is a not very good teammate for Samira. By playing on the same team as Samira, he lowers their win rate by -2.4% to 46.3%. This proves that there is a negative synergy between Samira and Darius that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Darius has a much lower diffuclty than Samira. That means Samira players don't need to be cautious when finding Darius comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Working alongside, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by bringing Samira and Darius together, you will not be granting your side much magical damage output. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that nullifies this hole in their abilities.

Regardless of your Darius ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
