Farming
4.9Samira
5.2Vex
Vex edges out Samira by 0.3 CS per minute — a moderate farming advantage that adds up to roughly 5 CS over a 15-minute laning phase. This translates to earlier component purchases and slightly faster power spikes for Vex.
Damage
518Samira
981Vex
Vex heavily out-damages Samira by 463 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 Vex's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
10,961Samira
12,266Vex
Vex generates a commanding 1,305 more gold per game than Samira. This substantial economic advantage means Vex consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Samira should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
0.0Samira
1.1Vex
Vex brings significantly more crowd control than Samira, with 1.1 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Vex 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
843Samira
693Vex
Samira vastly out-sustains Vex, healing and mitigating 150 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Samira can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Vex is forced to recall.
