Who Wins
- Pre-6, you and Brand lose the 2v2 if Leona lands her engage — your W can reflect Leona's E but the timing window is extremely tight and a mistimed W leaves you with no defensive tool while Miss Fortune bursts you down.
- Post-6, you have kill potential through Overwhelm stack accumulation and R execute, but only if you survive long enough to stack — Leona's all-in at level 6 with Miss Fortune's R is faster than your stack-to-execute gameplan.
Synergy & Trading
- Use your E root to create distance and peel for Brand rather than engaging — rooting Miss Fortune when she steps up gives Brand his stun setup and prevents Leona from freely diving Brand without consequence.
- Save your W specifically for Miss Fortune's R, as reflecting her R cone back is the single highest-value use of your W in this matchup.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Poke with your Q consistently in the laning phase to stack Overwhelm on both enemies passively — even small amounts of poke build toward your R execute threshold and force Miss Fortune to play further back, reducing Leona's engage range.
- Prioritize hitting Miss Fortune over Leona since Miss Fortune's lower base HP makes her more vulnerable to your execute threshold.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not use your W reactively to every Leona engage attempt — your W has a meaningful cooldown and if you burn it on a fake step-up from Leona, you have no reflection tool when Miss Fortune actually channels her R.
- Discipline yourself to hold W specifically for Miss Fortune's R or a committed Leona E, not as a panic button for every threatening movement.
