Guide to Synergizing Samira and Pyke

Advice to Understand How Pyke Will Play

The Tap version of Bone Skewer is much faster and deals additional damage.

A lot of your agressive spells are also your escapes. Make sure you always have a plan to get out of the fight.

Hitting an enemy with the Hold version of Bone Skewer will always pull them the same distance. Use it in melee range to throw targets behind you.

Pyke is very fragile so don't be afraid to temporarily run from a fight. You can regenerate a significant amount of health from Gift of the Drowned Ones when enemies can't see you.

Is Samira better when played alongside Pyke?

There is no perfect synergy for Samira that will 100% of the time be her top teammate. Yet, overall, Pyke is a not very good companion for Samira. By being on the same team as Samira, he decreases their win rate by -1.7% to 47.0%. This signals that there is a harmful bond between Samira and Pyke that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Pyke has a greater difficulty than Samira. That means Samira players need to be cautious when finding Pyke teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to fight well with you.

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

Conversely, by bringing Samira and Pyke together, you may not be giving your side a lot of magical damage output. Plan to have other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in their capabilities.

Regardless of your Pyke ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
