Best Samira Abilities Order

Learning how to play Samira ADC can take some time, even learning how to get the max stacks to use Inferno trigger (R) can be difficult. So, it's important to dominate Samira's skill order to take advantage of the burst damage easily. Samira's skill order is the following: Flair (Q), Wild Rush (E), and Blade Whirl (W). Those abilities help to increase the current style rating and deal extra damage before using Inferno Trigger.
