Who Wins
- Vel'Koz + Leona wins pre-6 due to superior poke range and engage threat, forcing you into defensive positioning.
- Post-6 you gain kill potential if you can dodge Leona's E and get on top of Vel'Koz with R.
Synergy & Trading
- Use E through minions to close distance, then Q3 tornado into auto-E combo on Vel'Koz while Rell follows up with W engage.
- Always save your W to block Vel'Koz Q or Leona R in extended trades.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early waves aggressively to hit level 2 first and create minion positioning for E mobility.
- After level 3, maintain a slow push to build up minions for E dashes while avoiding Vel'Koz poke.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never E forward without minions to dash back through, as Leona will punish you with E-Q combo.
- Don't waste W on Vel'Koz W poke - save it for his Q or Leona's key abilities.
