Guide to Synergizing Samira and Nasus

Advice to Understand How Nasus Will Play

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.

Overall, Samira sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Nasus. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This difference could demonstrate that Nasus doesn't help cover for her to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the round's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Nasus.

Is Samira better when played alongside Nasus?

There is no top companion for Samira that will 100% of the time be her #1 teammate. Yet, Nasus is a very typical ally for Samira. By locking into the same side as Samira, he drops their win rate by -0.5% to 48.2%. This proves that there is a weak bond between Samira and Nasus that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Nasus has a lower difficulty than Samira. That means Samira players don't need to be cautious when lining up Nasus teammates to play with, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Working cooperatively, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by bringing Samira and Nasus together, you may not be providing your other allies a great deal of crowd control. Plan to pick other champions on your team that helps cover this disparity in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Nasus ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
