Who Wins

Pre-6, Leona's level 2 spike is the most dangerous moment in this lane — if she hits level 2 before you and lands E, you likely lose the trade badly even with your W.
Post-6, your R becomes the critical equalizer: if you can channel it fully on both enemies, Leona's engage becomes a death sentence for her, but Caitlyn's range allows her to stay outside your R radius and continue dealing damage safely.

Your optimal pattern is to use E on Xayah preemptively when Leona looks to engage, then immediately attempt W on Leona — if W lands, Xayah's feather combo does significant damage and you follow with Q for sustain.
Never use E reactively after CC has already landed, as the shield needs to absorb the CC, not be applied after.

You should not roam aggressively in this matchup because Xayah is vulnerable to Caitlyn and Leona's poke and all-in the moment you leave; your presence is the primary reason Xayah can function in lane.
If you do roam, only do so after a successful recall sync where the wave is pushed into their tower and Xayah has enough HP to survive a short window alone.

Do not walk up to land W without your E available — Leona will simply E onto you, and without your shield you will eat the full CC chain and die before Xayah can respond.
Wasting W on minions or throwing it at a target Leona can simply walk away from are the two most common ways to give this lane over for free.
