Is Samira better when played alongside Poppy?

There is no one best champion pairing for Samira that will 100% of the time be her ideal teammate. However, overall, Poppy is a very typical ally for Samira. By locking into the same side as Samira, she decreases their win rate by -0.6% to 48.1%. This proves that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Samira and Poppy that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Poppy has a lower difficulty than Samira. That means Samira players don't need to be very careful when arranging Poppy comrades to play with, as they will require a lower level of skill to fight well with you.

Working alongside, Samira players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by pairing Samira and Poppy together, you will not be giving your other allies a lot of magical damage output. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that offsets this gap in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Poppy ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
