Who Wins

Pre-6, you win the poke war with Lux's help — your rocket range combined with Lux's Q and E poke outranges Leona and Zeri significantly, and you should be winning the health bar race before any engage happens.
Post-6, the 2v2 becomes dangerous because Leona's R gives her a guaranteed engage; you must respect this and keep Lux between you and Leona at all times.

Your best pattern is to use rockets to poke Zeri and Leona from max range while Lux zones with Q threat — when Leona commits to an engage, immediately place your E trap between yourself and her to slow the follow-up, then switch to minigun for sustained damage on whoever is locked down.
Never stand close enough to Leona that she can E you without walking through a trap.

Set up a slow-push with your W on the cannon wave and let the wave build — a large wave crashing into their tower forces Zeri to CS under tower and prevents Leona from roaming or engaging freely.
Once the wave is pushing, you can safely poke from behind it and Leona has no safe angle to engage without walking through minions.

Do not get caught without your E trap placed near you — Leona's engage is fast and your only real defense is the slow from your E, so always have it pre-placed in your likely escape path.
Never stand in a straight line with Lux when Leona is threatening, as it makes you both vulnerable to Leona's E chain and removes Lux's ability to peel effectively.
