Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win poke trades with Q while Skarner has limited gap-close, but lose all-ins if he lands E near walls.
- Post-6: The matchup becomes more dangerous as Skarner's R can catch you even with good positioning, making it roughly even.
Synergy & Trading
- Poke with Q when Skarner uses abilities on minions, then follow up Leona's engage with E-W-Q combo for maximum burst.
- Stay at max range to avoid Skarner's E engage while maintaining pressure with auto-Q poke.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves quickly with Q to enable Leona roams and prevent Skarner from freezing.
- Keep waves in neutral positions to maintain your range advantage and avoid being dove under tower.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught in extended trades where Skarner can stack his passive on you multiple times.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or areas where Skarner can E you into walls for guaranteed stuns.
