- Daredevil Impulse (Innate)
- Innate - Style: Damaging basic attacks and abilities against at least one enemy
champion different from the previous damaging hit made against them grants Samira a Style stack for 6 seconds, up to 6 stacks, refreshing on damaging attacks and abilities against enemy champions. The stack count is represented by the grades 
to the left of her health bar for Samira herself, and a stack counter underneath the bar that is visible to all units. - Samira gains 0% – 21% (based on Style grade) bonus movement speed.
- Innate: Samira's basic attacks against targets in
200 range use her blade, becoming 
non-projectile. Basic attacks 
on-hit within this range and Blade Whirl, Wild Rush, and the slash and explosives of Flair deal 2 – 19 (based on level) (+ 10% AD) bonus magic damage, increased by 0% – 100% (based on target's missing health). - Additionally, Samira's basic attacks against immobilized enemies deal the attack's damage over 6 rapid attacks and knock up the target for 0.5 seconds. This causes her basic attack timer to
reset and the attack to become 
unstoppable. If the target is not within attack range, Samira will 
dash into it from up to 800 / 850 / 900 / 950 / 1000 (based on level) units and then attack. This effect cannot occur on the same target more than once every 10 seconds. - The empowered attack can
critically strike. On-hit effects are only applied once.
- Innate - Style: Damaging basic attacks and abilities against at least one enemy
- Flair (Q)
- Active: Samira fires a shot in the target direction, dealing 0 / 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 (+ 100% AD) physical damage to the first enemy it hits.
- If a targetable enemy is in front of Samira, she will slash with her blade instead, dealing the same damage to all enemies hit in a cone.
- Casting Flair during Wild Rush will cause Samira to deploy explosives along her path which detonate upon the end of the dash, dealing the same damage to enemies within the covered distance. This can be done while performing Blade Whirl and Inferno Trigger.
- Both the shot and slash can critically strike for (25% +
25%) bonus physical damage and apply 
life steal at full effectiveness. - Mana Cost: 30.
- Cooldown: 6 / 5 / 4 / 3 / 2 seconds.
- Width: 120 / 130.
- Cast Time: 0.25 seconds.
- Speed: 2600.
- Blade Whirl (W)
- Active: Samira slashes around herself twice over 1.25 seconds, the first slash occurring immediately and the second being performed 0.25 seconds before the duration ends, each one dealing 20 / 35 / 50 / 65 / 80 (+ 80% bonus AD) physical damage to nearby enemies.
- Samira destroys all hostile non-
turret projectiles that enter or are in her vicinity during this time. - Samira cannot attack nor cast Flair during Blade Whirl. Casting Inferno Trigger will end Blade Whirl early without performing the second slash.
- Mana Cost: 60.
- Cooldown: 30 / 28 / 26 / 24 / 22 seconds.
- Cast Time: None.
- Wild Rush (E)
- Active: Samira dashes in the direction of the target allied or enemy unit and slashes all enemies in her path, dealing 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 (+ 20% bonus AD) magic damage and gaining 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50% bonus attack speed for 3 seconds.
Takedowns on enemy champions reset Wild Rush's cooldown.- Mana Cost: 40.

- Target Range: 600 / 650.
- Width: 100.
- Cast Time: None.
- Speed: 2050.
- Active: Samira
- Inferno Trigger (R)
- Active: Samira unleashes a torrent of shots from her weapons, rapidly shooting at all nearby enemies every 0.2 seconds over 2 seconds,
slowing herself by 25% and dealing 10 / 20 / 30 (+ 60% AD) physical damage with each shot, reduced by 75% against 
minions. - Each shot can critically strike for (100% + 25%) bonus physical damage and applies life steal at full effectiveness.
- Inferno Trigger cannot be cast unless the Style cost is satisfied, and will reset the grade back to 0 stacks when the effect ends.
- Samira cannot attack nor cast Flair or Blade Whirl during Inferno Trigger, but she is still able to move. Inferno Trigger will end prematurely by all forms of
interrupting crowd control. - Cost: 100 / 50 / 0 mana + 6 Style.
- Static Cooldown: 3 seconds.
- Cast Time: None.
- Active: Samira unleashes a torrent of shots from her weapons, rapidly shooting at all nearby enemies every 0.2 seconds over 2 seconds,
- Taunt (Ctrl + 2)
- Taunt: If Samira does not interrupt the emote for 3 seconds, she tosses a coin in the direction she is facing. If she has at least
1, the first enemy champion hit, including 
dead ones, takes an insulting 1 
true damage but also receives 1 from Samira. - If cast while a corpse of an enemy champion is within range, Samira will turn to face towards the closest one.
- This spell counts as an ability for Daredevil Impulse.
- Target Range:
950. - Width: 120.
- Width: 1400.

AirborneA unit that is knocked airborne undergoes a forced displacement in a specified direction, to a specific point, or for a set duration at its current location, during which it is also unable to control its movement, declare attacks, cast abilities, activate items or use the 
summoner spells 
Flash, 
Teleport, 
Hexflash, and 
Mark / Dash.
Airborne is an immobilizing effect.
| Interrupts: | Interrupts attack windups (excluding uncancellable windups), and all  channeled and charged abilities. The accompanying displacement overrides all other previous displacements, including dashes and other airborne effects.
|
|---|---|
| Reduction: | The duration of airborne and its forced movement execution time is unaffected by  Tenacity.
|
| Resist: | Resisted by  crowd control immunity,  displacement immunity, and  Dr. Mundo's  Goes Where He Pleases.
|
| Removal: | The forced movement that is applied alongside airborne effects cannot be removed by cleanses, which innately disables attacking and moving and can be overridden by dashing, blinking or  lunging.  Cleansing effects, with the exceptions of  Milio's  Breath of Life,  Cleanse,  Mikael's Blessing, and  Quicksilver, remove the airborne status effect.
|
Crowd control applied by one's self or an ally cannot be countered in any way, neither reduced in duration, resisted, nor removed unless special cased to do so.

ChampionChampions are the player-controlled characters in League of Legends. Each champion possesses unique abilities and attributes.
Edge rangeEdge range is calculated from the edge of a source unit's hitbox to the edge of a target unit's hitbox.
- Edge range is mostly used for basic attacks; skill shots; and point-blank areas of effect (including auras).
- These become more effective against large champions, as the source gains more reach against them. This may be favorable or unfavorable: durable champions tend to be larger and thus easier to hit, and frail champions tend to be smaller and more difficult to hit.
ProjectileA projectile or missile is any entity not classified as a unit ( champion, minion, 
monster, etc.) that travels at any given velocity.
- Moving units are not considered projectiles under any circumstance (including dashing units, airborne units, or units thrown by some abilities such as
Force of Will or 
Roar of the Slayer.). 
Braum's 
Unbreakable, 
Mel's 
Rebuttal, Samira's Blade Whirl, and 
Yasuo's 
Wind Wall can block, destroy and / or stop projectiles.
- Some abilities will
destroy all currently incoming homing projectiles.
On-hit effect
basic damage, or generally upon a basic attack or certain attack-like ability hitting a target. Most on-hit effects deal 
proc damage or 
default damage, which are non-reactive (= the effects don't trigger more effects).
- Critical strikes are not on-hit effects. An ability listed as applying on-hit effects cannot critically strike unless otherwise stated.
- Life steal is not an on-hit effect. Damage from on-hit effects normally does not apply life steal, unless those effects deal basic damage or are special-cased to benefit from life steal.
The ability counterpart to on-hit effects are ability effects, which apply on instances of ability damage.
Basic attack reset
Casting certain ability and item actives can reset the attack timer. 
Hail of Blades generates an additional stack of its effect each time the user resets their attack timer from attack resets.
Uncancellable windup interrupted by neither the user themselves nor any status effect, other than death, polymorph and 
Quinn's 
Vault, and sometimes 
untargetability and range.Any effect that would disrupt an attack's windup, aside from the ones noted above, are ignored by basic attacks with uncancellable windups. If the attack doesn't lock out other abilities, they may be used normally, and the basic attack will hit during the ability cast.
DashThe game engine does not take into account the height of the unit; dashes that depict air travel are considered to be on the ground for targeting purposes such as skill-shots.
- Dashes should not be confused with displacement effects, which are usually sourced from enemy units (and are classified as crowd control debuffs).
- Dashes are interrupted by stasis (from an enemy),
knockdown, and blinks. - Dashes are overridden by all move blocks, which includes displacements and other dashes, as well as a few other cases.
- Not all dashes can traverse terrain (e.g.
Justice Punch, 
Searing Charge, 
Tumble). - Some dashes gain increased distance when directed through terrain (e.g.
Umbral Dash, 
Perfect Execution, 
Phantom Undertow).
Critical strike
critical strike damage. The most common form of critical strike occurs on basic attacks, which triggers based on 
critical strike chance.
By default, a critical strike deals 175% of the normal damage. Critical damage modifiers such as Infinity Edge can increase this percentage.
TurretA turret, also called a tower, is a fortification that defends a part of territory. It provides vision of the area and autonomously fires homing bolts at nearby enemies, establishing a defensive ground for allies.
Turrets are most notable in 
Classic, defending against waves of enemy Minions from their ultimate goal of destroying the nexus. Champions work to destroy enemy turrets to push their assault into the enemies' territory. Turrets visually fall apart as they take damage.
ChampionChampions are the player-controlled characters in League of Legends. Each champion possesses unique abilities and attributes.
Slow
movement speed for the duration. Slow percentages cannot reduce a target below 110 movement speed. Some slows will instead modify the target's movement speed to a static value, which may not be further reduced nor increased.Only the slow with the highest value is taken into movement speed calculations. All additional slows are ignored until the higher-valued slow wears off. The strength of slows may amplify or decay over their duration. Slows of the same debuff cannot stack and will instead refresh on each application unless otherwise stated.
| Interrupts: | Does not interrupt any actions. |
|---|---|
| Reduction: | The duration is affected by Tenacity. The strength is reduced by |
| Resist: | Resisted by crowd control immunity and  slow immunity.
|
| Removal: | Removed by Cleanses,  Garen's  Decisive Strike,  Master Yi's  Highlander and  Nunu's  Biggest Snowball Ever!.
|
MinionMinions are autonomous units that spawn periodically from their nexus and advance along the lanes toward the enemy nexus. They basic attack any enemy unit or structure they find in their way, but can be killed for gold.
There are four kind of minions: 
melee minions, 
caster minions, 
siege minions and 
super minions.
InterruptInterrupt is a quality of crowd control that interrupts an in-progress effect, preventing its completion or causing the effect to go off at an interrupted state.
The following crowd control effects interrupt channeled and charged abilities (unless otherwise noted by the ability):
- Airborne
- Forced action ( Charm, Flee, Taunt)
- Silence ( Disrupt, Polymorph)
- Sleep
- Stasis
- Stun ( Suspension)
- Suppression
The following crowd control effects interrupt dashes:
Basic attack windups are interrupted by all forms of crowd control that inhibit attacking. 
Ground and Root only interrupt channeled and charged movement abilities.
Crowd controlA unit that is disabled is affected by a status effect that prevents certain actions – such as movement, attacking, casting and/or seeing–blocked, reduced or controlled.
Crowd control applied by one's self or an ally cannot be countered in any way, neither reduced in duration, resisted, nor removed unless special cased to do so.
Death
health is reduced to zero, thereby being killed. The unit can no longer act and is removed or becomes a corpse.On player death, they can view the death recap and the shop to purchase items, and some item actives can be used while dead.
True damage- Applies:
- Mitigated by:
Centered rangeCentered range is calculated from the center of a source unit's hitbox to the center of a target unit's hitbox.
- Centered range is used for most unit-targeted abilities.
- It is less effective and may seem to have diminished reach against large units.
