Lux vs Samira Matchup Summary

The Lux vs Samira matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 27 recent matches analyzed, Lux wins with a 61.5% win rate compared to Samira's 38.5%, giving Lux a 23.1 percentage point advantage. Lux dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Samira players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Lux leads by 1.5s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Lux players can confidently pick into Samira and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Samira away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Lux vs Samira Laning Phase Breakdown

Lux wins the laning phase against Samira in League of Legends

Lux is favored during the laning phase against Samira, winning 4 out of 5 key stat categories. Lux holds advantages in farming, damage, gold income and crowd control, making them the stronger laner in this matchup.

Farming
6.5Lux
6.3Samira
Lux and Samira farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
898Lux
764Samira
Lux heavily out-damages Samira by 133 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Samira should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Lux's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
13,049Lux
13,049Samira
Lux and Samira generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 0 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
1.6Lux
0.1Samira
Lux brings significantly more crowd control than Samira, with 1.5 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Lux far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Samira should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
418Lux
855Samira
Samira vastly out-sustains Lux, healing and mitigating 437 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Samira can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Lux is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Lux, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
