Use (W) slow to land (Q) poke more reliably before Leona closes distance.
Sync poke with ADC damage to punish Leona after missed engages.

Danger windows

Use poke to keep wave thin, reducing Leona's engage success chance.
Ward river and tri-brush to spot Leona's roam attempts early.

Level 6: Use (R) for long-range follow-up or to punish Leona's engage cooldowns.
First mana/AP item: Increase poke pressure to deny Leona safe engage windows.

Win conditions

Convert poke pressure into denied ADC positioning and forced recalls.
