Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win trades through superior DPS and Q poke, especially with Vel'Koz adding poke damage.
- Post-6 becomes more dangerous due to Leona's R engage potential, but your R can match their teamfight damage if positioned well.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q bounces off minions to poke while Vel'Koz adds W/E pressure from range.
- When Leona engages, immediately E to slow and kite back while maintaining auto-attack DPS with passive stacks.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves aggressively with Q to deny Leona roam opportunities and keep pressure on tower.
- Maintain minion waves between you and Leona to block her E engages.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught without E available when Leona has engage tools up.
- Avoid channeling R in range of Leona's engage combo - wait for her cooldowns or use it from maximum range.
