Who Wins
- Tristana-Leona wins pre-6 due to Tristana's superior range with Q attack speed and Leona's reliable engage tools, while your rockets lack the burst to match their all-in potential.
- Post-6 you gain significant teamfight presence with R execute damage, but they still win isolated 2v2s due to Tristana's W reset potential and Leona's R lockdown.
Synergy & Trading
- Use rocket form to poke when Leona abilities are down, then immediately switch to minigun when Thresh lands Q to maximize DPS during the hook duration.
- Focus on placing W traps behind enemies during Thresh's Q channel to guarantee the slow and root combo.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves with rockets to deny Tristana's W engage angles and force fights near your minions where Thresh can land easier hooks.
- Avoid slow-pushing as Tristana excels at freezing with her range advantage and Leona can easily engage in extended lanes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use W aggressively when Leona has flash up, as she can flash-E through your traps and force a losing all-in.
- Don't greed for rocket poke when Tristana has W available, as her jump-in with Leona follow-up will outdamage your escape potential.
