Who Wins
- Pre-6: You struggle against Nami's sustain and Kalista's mobility making Q poke less effective.
- Post-6: LeBlanc's burst potential makes this much more winnable despite your weak laning.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to poke when enemies are animation-locked or after LeBlanc lands abilities.
- Place barrels defensively to zone Kalista from aggressive positioning and enable LeBlanc's combos.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Focus on farming safely with Q and setting up barrel chains for LeBlanc's engage windows.
- Avoid extended trades since Nami's sustain and Kalista's mobility favor them early.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions when you could be poking champions since your damage is limited early.
- Avoid placing barrels too aggressively where Kalista can easily destroy them with her mobility.
