Hwei into Leonamedium

Overview

Deny Leona's engage by controlling brush and keep ADC safe from surprise angles.
Use long-range poke and CC to zone and set up level 6 all-ins.
Maintain river vision to track Leona's roams and prevent mid lane pressure.

When Leona hits level 2 first and ADC steps past wave, expect immediate engage threat.
Leona's root plus stun combo creates high lockdown risk for ADC.
Leona's level 6 can start fights from range; avoid giving clean engage angles without ADC follow-up.

Contest level 2 only if ADC can follow Leona's + engage.
Use poke to keep wave thin, preventing Leona from engaging through large waves.
Hold brush control to limit Leona's surprise engage angles and enable safer ADC positioning.

Level 2: Respect Leona's + all-in threat; coordinate ADC peel.
Level 3: Unlock full spellbook for versatile poke and shields; use to control space and counter engage.
Level 6: Track cooldown to time all-ins, picks, or defensive resets effectively.

Convert poke and CC into denied enemy ADC positioning and safer ADC access.
Use wave control and brush denial to limit Leona's engage angles and roam opportunities.
Set river vision and coordinate with ADC for dragon setup, leveraging level 6 for picks or defensive resets.
