Vel'Koz vs Leona

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use long-range (Q) poke to deny ADC access and pressure Leona's engage angles.
Control side brush vision to prevent Leona's level 2 all-in setups.
Hold (E) for peel to protect your ADC from Leona's engage and layered crowd control.

Trading pattern

Layer (Q) and (W) poke to force Leona and her ADC back before they can engage.
Hold (E) to interrupt or peel after Leona commits (E)+(Q) engage.
Avoid using (E) for poke when Leona's engage cooldowns are up to prevent being caught.

Danger windows

Respect Leona's level 2 (E)+(Q) all-in window, especially if ADC cannot follow immediately.
Avoid standing near brush without vision to prevent surprise engages.
Beware of Leona's level 6 (R) long-range engage that can start fights without warning.

Early game

Track level 2 race closely and only contest if your ADC can follow your poke threat.
Use split (Q) angles to pressure while keeping wave thin to avoid enabling Leona's engage.
Deny brush control with wards to limit Leona's engage and roam windows.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q)+(E) poke plus knockup, increasing threat; use this to pressure and zone.
Level 3 completes poke pattern; leverage brush control and cooldown tracking to poke safely.
Level 6 (R) laser burst can finish slowed or knocked-up targets; use with ADC follow-up or for defensive resets.

Win conditions

Convert poke pressure into denied enemy ADC positioning and forced recalls.
Set river vision to control dragon setup and prevent Leona's roams.
Use (E) peel and (R) burst with ADC follow-up to win favorable 2v2 fights and secure objectives.

Tip: For Vel'Koz vs Leona, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
