Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 2v2s because Sivir outpushes you early and Alistar can engage on you while Leona cannot reliably counter-engage through spellshield.
- Post-6 you win if Leona lands E on Sivir since your R and trap follow-up secures kills through Alistar's peel.
Synergy & Trading
- Poke with Q when Sivir's E is down and place traps behind her when Leona threatens engage to cut off escape routes.
- Your optimal combo is headshot-Q-trap when Leona lands E, then R to finish through Alistar's healing.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early levels to prevent Sivir from freely bouncing Q through minions, then maintain slow pushes to build trap zones around objectives.
- Avoid hard shoving when Alistar has engage tools available as you'll be overextended.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste R on Sivir's spellshield and avoid fighting in large minion waves where her W ricochets deal massive damage.
- Don't step up for CS when Alistar has W-Q combo available without Leona in position to counter.
