How to play Sam

Sam is a epic Assassin that hunts isolated targets. Sam uses mobility and burst to delete marksmen, throwers and supports, then escapes before the enemy can answer. Patience and target selection win games — strike only when the kill is guaranteed.

Best game modes for Sam

Sam is strongest in Solo Showdown, Knockout and Bounty — because Sam can flank, secure a pick and snowball the lead. Browse maps to find rotations that suit Sam, and check the current tier list to see where it sits in the meta.

Put Sam to work on maps like North Park Station (Solo Showdown), Streets With No Name (Knockout) and Starrburst (Bounty).

Sam tips & counters

  • Wait for the enemy to use their Super or step out of position before you commit.
  • Open from a bush or flank so the target cannot react in time.
  • Always keep your gadget or Super for the escape, not just the kill.

Watch out for: tanks that survive your burst and brawlers with crowd control or self-peel. Never dive into a grouped team.
