Who Wins
- You win level 2 with superior range and Mel's Q poke, but lose level 6 when Tristana gains explosive burst and Leona's R enables all-ins.
- Your range advantage diminishes as Tristana scales and her W resets become more threatening.
Synergy & Trading
- Use your range to auto-attack while Mel uses Q to poke and zone, forcing them back before they can engage.
- When Leona attempts to engage, let Mel use W to reflect projectiles while you maintain maximum distance and continue dealing damage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early waves with Q and Mel's Q to establish level and recall advantages, then maintain slow pushes to keep minion advantages.
- Avoid hard shoving after level 6 unless you have vision, as Tristana-Leona excel at punishing overextended positions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't rely solely on your range advantage - Tristana's W can close gaps quickly and Leona's engage range is deceptively long.
- Avoid trading when Mel's W is on cooldown, as you lose your primary defensive tool against Leona's combo.
