Who Wins

  • Pre-6: You lose most trades due to Leona's tankiness and CC chain, but can win short trades with Q dodging her E.
  • Post-6: You win extended 1v1s if you dodge her initial E with Q and use R to stick to her through her W.

How to Trade

  • Use Q to dodge her E engage, then auto-attack while her abilities are on cooldown before backing off.
  • Never commit to extended trades pre-6 unless she wastes her full combo on minions.

Wave Control

  • Push waves hard with Q to reset and roam, as you cannot effectively freeze against her engage potential.
  • Focus on shoving and looking for jungle skirmishes rather than trying to control the lane state.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't use Q aggressively for waveclear when her E is available, as she can easily punish you during the animation recovery.
  • Avoid fighting in large minion waves where her W and passive will be maximized against you.
