Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Caitlyn's range advantage and Bard's Q setup, but post-6 your R provides better waveclear and poke while Leona's R creates kill pressure.
- The key is surviving early game without falling too far behind in CS.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q poke when Bard moves forward for chimes or aggressive positioning, then E away immediately if Leona looks to engage.
- Focus on short Q-auto trades rather than extended fights where Caitlyn's range dominates.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Allow the wave to push toward you early to farm safely near tower, using Q to last-hit from range.
- After Sheen, look to clear waves quickly with Q-auto combos and roam with Leona for picks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't E forward aggressively for CS when Bard has Q available, as the stun setup leads to massive damage from Caitlyn.
- Avoid face-checking brushes without Leona, as Bard's roam potential makes unwarded areas extremely dangerous.
