Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and Leona's engage potential keeping them at bay.
- Post-6 remains favorable if you maintain distance, but Brand's R and Samira's all-in become more threatening in close quarters.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q through minions to poke both enemies, then follow up with auto-E-auto when they're chunked.
- Place W defensively to prevent Samira engages and use your range advantage to control the lane tempo.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain slow pushes to build trap setups and deny their engage potential through minion positioning.
- Freeze when ahead to zone Samira from CS and force them into desperate plays.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught in Brand's W-Q combo range when going for aggressive trades - his stun setup enables Samira's all-in.
- Respect their level 6 power spike and avoid face-checking brushes without vision.
