Mysterious Samira’s Files Spotted on PBE Server

PBE 10.19 has just been released and Samira’s files has been spotted!

Disclaimer: PBE Content might be changed when they hit live server, these updates might not be the final results.

As Riot said they would spend more time to tailor patch 10.18, we don’t expect they will roll out Patch 10.19 update this soon on PBE server. This information we provide is not from the actual PBE server, but actually they are files that are added to the server but can’t be used to test out. These data are extracted by Surrender at 20, many thanks to their efforts for bringing quality of life content for the community.

New champion: Samira – The Desert Rose

Surrender at 20 has spotted files related to Samira on PBE! Please keep in mind that it might be changed when they hit both PBE and the Live server.

Lore

“Samira stares death in the eye with unyielding confidence, seeking thrill wherever she goes. After her Shuriman home was destroyed as a child, Samira found her true calling in Noxus, where she built a reputation as a stylish daredevil taking on dangerous missions of the highest caliber. Wielding black-powder pistols and a custom-engineered blade, Samira thrives in life-or-death circumstances, eliminating any who stand in her way with flash and flair.”

Even though she right now is fighting in Noxus, she might add more depth to Shuriman Universe in the future.

Abilities:

Passive – Daredevil Impulse

Samira builds a combo by hitting Attacks or abilities unique from the previous hit. Each one increases her Style, from “E” to “S” grade (6 total). Samira gain 3.5% Movement Speed per grade.

Samira’s attacks in melee range deal an additional X magic damage, increased up to X based on the target’s missing Health.

Samira’s Attacks against enemies affected by Immobilizing effects Knock Up for 0.5 seconds and deal damage over 6 separate attacks. Samira dashed into range against targets slightly outside her Attack range (Samira’s dash range is 800 units).

Q – Flair

Samira fires a shot, dealing X physical damage to first enemy hit.

If this ability is cast towards an enemy in melee range, she will instead slash with her sword, dealing X physical damage.

Either hit can critically strike for 25% bonus damage.

If cast during E – Wild Rush, she will strike all enemies in her path upon completion.

W – Blade Whirl

Samira slashes around her for 1 second, damaging enemies twice for X physical damage each and destroying any enemy missiles that enter the area.

E – Wild Rush

Samira dashes through an enemy or ally, slashing enemies she passes through dealing X magic damage and gaining 30% Attack Speed for 3 seconds.

Killing an enemy champion refreshes this ability’s cooldown.

R – Inferno Trigger

Samira can only use this ability if her current Style rating is S.

She unleashes a torrent of shots from her weapons, wildly shooting all enemies surrounding her 10 times over 2 seconds, each shot dealing X physical damage and applying lifesteal. Each shot can also critically strike.

Samira’s Voice

Her new skin!

Her 1st skin will be related to PsyOPS/BRG Universe.

You can also do hidden missions for PsyOPS/BRG right now on Live Server.

Conclusion

In our opinion, even though she is a Marksman Champion, she feels like another Lucian but requires momentum to build up before she can ram into enemy teams.

As her Passive begins to stack up, she will gain much more Movement Speed, making her more nimble to get in and out teamfight.

We feel like if she doesn’t reach grade “S” in a team fight, she will only deal damage via her Q. Her W and E abilities will be utilized to help her avoid being killed while she reaches her “S” style. According to Brazillian streamer Streamie, she said Samira was a fairly easy champion to play, but as we see, her W: allow her to destroy missiles that are coming to her in 1 second. This means she can create an out-play situation and also can be used in professional skill grade.

That’s all we have for now, we will give you further information when we can test her out on PBE server.
