Sona into Leonamedium

Overview

Prioritize protecting your ADC from Leona's layered engage and stuns by holding peel cooldowns.
Deny Leona brush control to limit her engage angles and reduce ADC vulnerability.
Use poke and sustain to maintain lane space and prepare for scaling teamfights.

Respect + engage combo at level 2 with ADC follow-up ready.
Avoid stepping up without vision when Leona controls brush or has flash available.
Track cooldown to prevent surprise long-range engages that expose your ADC.

Track the level 2 race closely and avoid extended trades if your ADC can't follow.
Hold brush vision to prevent Leona's surprise engages and protect ADC positioning.
Allow your ADC safe access to the wave by staying behind minions and using poke sparingly.

Level 2 unlocks your sustain trade; avoid fighting if ADC can't match Leona's level 2 all-in.
Level 3 completes your kit; use movement aura to reposition and create poke windows.
Level 6 is your main punish tool; use it with ADC follow-up to stop Leona engages or dives.

Survive early pressure to stack aura value and enable your ADC's safe scaling.
Use around confirmed ADC follow-up to punish grouped enemies or disengage dives.
Maintain river vision and deny brush control to protect dragon setups and prevent Leona roams.
