Synergy & Trading

  • Use E to pull enemies hit by Leona's E, then follow with Q for damage and healing.
  • Save W for when enemies are locked down by Leona's full combo to guarantee the explosion damage.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Control waves with Q to deny Jhin's fourth shot setups and maintain health through minion healing.
  • Push when Leona has engage advantage to force fights in your minion wave where Q healing is maximized.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste E on Nautilus when his W shield is active, as the damage reduction significantly reduces your combo effectiveness.
  • Avoid using R too early in fights, as Jhin's range allows him to kite you during the channel.
