Why this duo works
Nautilus supplies repeated immobilizing effects that let Samira's Daredevil Impulse(P) dash into attack range and extend his knock-ups. That reliable setup gives Samira a safer way to enter fights and build her combo than relying on her own short-range engage.
Playing the duo
Coordinate an early all-in around a Nautilus catch rather than forcing a fight when Samira cannot safely reach the target.
Nautilus's hook, first-attack root and ultimate knock-up/stun give Samira several chances to trigger Daredevil Impulse(P), which dashes her toward immobilized enemies and briefly extends knock-ups.
How to play as Samira
Follow Nautilus's first crowd-control hit with your passive dash, then use the extra time from his knock-up to build style stacks before channeling R.
A Nautilus catch gives Samira an immobilized target to follow, while her passive can keep a Nautilus knock-up going briefly.
How to play as Nautilus
Commit when Samira is close enough to follow; your root and knock-up give her a dependable way to dash in and start her combo.
