Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range, sustain, and poke damage that Samira cannot match.
- Post-6 you lose if Leona lands engage, as your low mobility makes you vulnerable to Samira's R combo despite your range advantage.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to poke and heal simultaneously, focusing on hitting both enemies when possible for maximum value.
- Follow up Aphelios' poke with W root when they're low enough for kill pressure or need to disengage from Leona's engage threat.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam mid or river when waves are pushed and Aphelios is safe to farm, especially levels 4-6 when your W root can secure kills.
- Time roams around Leona's engage cooldowns to avoid leaving Aphelios vulnerable to all-ins.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W root on Leona during her E animation - she'll still complete the engage and you'll have no disengage tool.
- Standing too far forward for Q poke without tracking Leona's flash timer gives them easy kill windows.
