The Story of Samira

Samira never had a home to return to. Her family’s life in Shurima was torn apart when she was still young, and any future she might have built there was lost with it. In Noxus she found not so much security as a place that suited her hunger for danger.

There she made a name for herself as a freelance daredevil, the sort of operative hired for jobs that others refuse outright. She fights with black-powder pistols and a custom-built blade, and where most people see mortal peril, she sees an opportunity. To her, swagger, showmanship, and an absolute refusal to flinch in the face of death are the entire point.

Her fighting style runs on relentless momentum. Daredevil Impulse builds a combo that keeps growing as long as she lands different types of hits in a row, never using the same attack twice consecutively, and melee hits add bonus magic damage. Flair releases a gunshot or a sword strike depending on the situation, hitting everyone along its path when cast mid-dash. Blade Whirl spins a slashing arc around her, cutting down enemy projectiles along with anything caught too close. Wild Rush carries her straight through an enemy or structure, and if the dash finishes with a kill, it resets completely. Inferno Trigger, her ultimate, empties every weapon she carries in a chaotic volley at all enemies nearby.

She is a Marksman with an Assassin’s instincts, most comfortable in the bottom lane or mid, and she relies on Mana to keep her guns firing. Her adopted home is still Noxus, an empire that rewards exactly the boldness she has in abundance. Other Noxians such as Ambessa and Briar live in that same unforgiving land, though few of them court danger with quite Samira’s flair.
