Samira is one of the newest ADCs in League of Legends; however, I often find myself asking the question: “Can I use my R while doing something.” I decided to create a guide and analyze most of the possible interactions of Samira’s Ultimate Ability during the standard League of Legends game.

Samira’s Ultimate Basic Information

First of all, let’s just set up some basics and information about how Samira’s ultimate ability -Inferno Triggerworks. It dealsphysicaldamage to enemies and scales withADonly. This ability can critically strike and also applies life steal at 66,6% effectiveness. It deals lower damage to minions and monsters. Players cannot use inferno Trigger unless Samira reaches the maximum stacks of her passive (six). She always gets a stack of her passive when she uses a distinct attack, either ability or auto-attack. You cannot stack it using one ability or attack in a row, for example, you can not get two stacks while using two AA one after another.

Samira’s Ultimate Interactions

First interactions that allow you to continue shooting your ultimate while under the effect of these skills or items. What’s interesting is it doesn’t work with most of the items. You just cannot use them while shooting your ultimate, but you can use Hextech Protobelt. It is not very useful due to this item being AP.

Samira’s Ultimate is achanneledability, so it also gets interrupted by most hardCC. I will list theCrowd Controlthat interruptsInferno Triggerand some examples of those effects:
