5. Final Verdict

Samir is a storm in human form—unpredictable, devastating, and utterly exhilarating. While her fragility demands skillful play, few characters match her raw damage output in Volt teams.

Pros: High AoE damage, aerial mobility, Volt synergy.
Cons: Squishy, reliant on matrices for max potential.

Verdict: A must-build for DPS mains, but prioritize ★3 advancements for optimal performance. F2P players should pair her with Nemesis for survivability.
