Tips

  • Nesting Doll works well for close-range marksmen such as Samira because they can keep attacking with their abilities during the fight. It works best when her teammates are tanky enough to let her revive.4

Interactions

  • Samira's Blade Whirl can block, destroy, or stop projectiles.5 Patch unknown

Bugs

History

  • Since patch 26.15, Samira's taunt no longer removes 1 gold.7
