Riot Games' League of Legends had opened the feasibility of Samira on the top lane as patch 12.5 includes cooldown and mana-related buffs, critical points to ponder in playing the hero.
In an article of Amanda "Tania Mae" Tan in One Esports, the exact adjustments have been published:
Base stats
Its health growth was increased from 88 to 94 points; its health at level 18 was increased from 2026 to 2128 points; its armor growth was increased from 3 to 3.5 points; its armor at level 18 increased from 77 to 85.5 points.
Ultimate - Inferno Trigger
Its cooldown was decreased from eight to five seconds.
It was also pointed out in the same article that the previous patch notes regarding the hero, even more, boosted its capabilities to dominate the solo lane.
The ultimate of Samira, Inferno Trigger, was omitted of cooldown in the previous patches, basically needing five seconds in now's patch to cast it again; by any chance, the hero has maintained its S grade weapon, the style in accordance with its passive.
Samira's Skill sets
Knowing how overpower Samira can be at the right hands and mind sent, diving into the champion's skillsets will drastically enhance your mastery of the champion. These skill sets are in reference to Riot Games' Samira Abilities Rundown.
Passive - Daredevil Impulse
Samira's passive is a combo-maniac skill giving the champion additional movement attributes as the champion continuous chain its non-repeating skills; these combos also is critical in spamming her Ultimate later as this increases Samira's style grade, just like the alphabetical grading system, except in this context - it is from E to S.
First Skill - Flair
Samira's first skill is dependent of the hero's distance with the unit it intends to attack; if the Samira is at far from the units she ought to attack, a gunshot will be administered as its Flair; if it is otherwise, the unit to be attacked will instead be sliced or slashed by her sword.
Second Skill - Blade Whirl
Samira lacerates the area around here, dealing damage and nullifying enemies' thrown skills, an area-of-effect skill most suitable for melee fights or dodging ranged enemy arsenals.
Third Skill - Wild Rush
This skill can either be cast to Samira's enemy or ally briefly dashing forward to the selected unit; enemy units lying along the trajectory of the dash will be damaged accordingly as Samira gains additional attack speed after the skill has been cast.
An assassinating wild rush can be the one to give you a Pentakill for every kill while casting this third skill will reset its cooldown. [Pentakill is a kill streak garnered after killing five enemy champions consecutively in between a short period of time.
This skill surely flaunts your Samira all over the clash area, fleet-footedness being the very nuisance for your slow-catching enemies.
Ultimate - Inferno Trigger
Samira throws successive blows using her melee and range weapons dealing physical damage up to ten times every single one can operate life steal and strike critically; the only requirement of this zero-cooldown skill is her S grade style, going back to its passive, needing to poke and create combos first before eventually casting this.
