Who Wins
- Samira + Leona wins level 2 decisively due to Leona's engage potential and Samira's early burst damage.
- At level 6, they still have the advantage with Samira's ultimate and Leona's lockdown, but the gap narrows slightly as you gain more range and damage.
Synergy & Trading
- Focus on poking with Q when Leona abilities are on cooldown, and use Shen's taunt to disengage when they try to all-in.
- Always position behind minions to avoid Leona's Zenith Blade, and coordinate with Shen to trade when his Spirit's Refuge is available.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push for early levels to reach your power spikes faster, but avoid overextending without vision.
- Freeze the wave near your tower when possible to force them to overextend for farm, making Leona's engages riskier.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight extended trades early game as your damage output is significantly lower than Samira's.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or walking up without Shen's protection, as Leona can easily set up kills.
