Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win through superior poke with Q, polymorph stopping Leona engages, and better range control.
- Post-6: The matchup becomes more challenging as Leona's R provides engage range and Kai'Sa's R allows her to bypass your peel, though your R can still save yourself or Kalista.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to poke when enemies are farming and save W for Leona's engage attempts or Kai'Sa's R dives.
- Your E shield should be used reactively to block Kai'Sa's burst rather than proactively for trades.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam sparingly since Kalista needs your peel against their engage composition.
- Only roam when the wave is in a safe position and you have vision of the enemy jungle to avoid leaving Kalista vulnerable.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste polymorph on Kai'Sa when Leona has engage tools available as stopping the tank is more important for survival.
- Avoid positioning too aggressively for poke after level 6 as Kai'Sa's R can punish overextension even through your shields.
