League of Legends New Champion Samira: Abilities, Release Date and more

Riot Games unveiled a new League of Legends champion, Samira who is also known as the Desert Rose. Samira arrived on the game's Public Beta Environment without letting on any leaks on social media. As of now, League of Legends is in the middle of Summer Championship playoffs for many of its esports regions. The World Championships of 2020 are also here which begins at September end. So the release of this new champion may or may not be available for pro play.

Samira will be the newest League of Legends champion but not much is known as to how she would function as she was released on PBE without any leaks beforehand. Surrender datamined a lot of her abilities and it looks like a mix of ranged and melee damage champion. Her Q ability in Flair changes how the attack will function depending on the distance between Samira and her target.

Samira Abilities

More datamined information breaks down her 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” grading (for a total of six). Samira gains movement speed for each Style grade. Samira’s attacks in melee range deal additional magic damage and increase based on the target’s missing health. Samira’s attacks against enemies affected by immobilizing effects knock the target up for and deal damage over six several attacks. Samira dashes into range against targets slightly outside her attack range.

Q — FLAIR

Samira fires a shot, dealing physical damage to the first enemy hit. If this ability is cast towards an enemy in melee range, Samira will instead slash with her sword, dealing phsyical damage. Either hit can critically strike for 25% bonus damage. If cast during Wild Rush, Samira will strike all enemies in her path upon completion.

W — BLADE WHIRL

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

R — INFERNO TRIGGER
