Who Wins
- Pre-6, you and Samira win because your W directly counters Leona's E-Q all-in, stripping the burst that makes Leona dangerous and letting Samira stack passive freely.
- Post-6, your R fundamentally changes the 2v2 — even if Leona lands her R and Ezreal follows up, you can R onto Samira mid-fight to shield her and turn a losing fight into a won one.
Synergy & Trading
- Your best pattern is to position your W so it covers Samira the moment Leona's E lands, negating the stun burst, then use your Q to poke Ezreal from range while Samira handles Leona.
- Save your E taunt for when Ezreal uses his E aggressively or when Leona overextends past your W zone — do not waste it on a blocked engage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam, but only when your R is on cooldown and the wave is shoved — your R is your primary roam tool and using it to save a teammate top or mid while Samira is safe is higher value than staying bot for a lane you are already winning.
- Optimal roam timing is after a successful trade where Leona and Ezreal are forced to back, giving you a free walk to river without losing the wave.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not use your R reactively to save Samira from a Leona R that she can survive on her own — wasting your R on a survivable situation removes your global pressure for 160+ seconds and makes you a normal support with no roam threat.
- Avoid standing inside Leona's E range without your W ready, as she can chain CC onto you and Ezreal can follow up to chunk you significantly.
