Who Wins
- You lose level 2 due to their superior poke and range advantage, but win level 6 when your burst combo with Leona can kill through Mel's W.
- Your W reset potential and explosive damage scaling make you the stronger late-game carry.
Synergy & Trading
- Wait for Leona to land engage tools, then W in for maximum damage while they're locked down and can't use Mel's W effectively.
- Focus on short, explosive trades rather than extended poke wars where their range advantage dominates.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Accept early CS deficits and focus on safe farming until level 6, using W defensively to escape bad trades.
- Look for opportunities to freeze near your tower where Leona can set up ganks and all-ins more safely.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match their early poke game - you'll lose trades and take unnecessary damage before your power spikes.
- Avoid using W aggressively when Mel's E is available, as getting rooted during your jump leaves you completely vulnerable.
