How to win lane as Leona against Blitzcrank · 55.38% win rate over 5,502 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Blitzcrank | Blitzcrank wins level 1 because without E you can't answer a Rocket Grab and one hook chunks you. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 it's a skill check — holding E and hugging minions neutralizes the hook you can now punish. |
| Level 3 | Leona | By level 3 his long Q cooldown leaves him a squishy target for your E-Q once the hook is spent. |
| Levels 4-5 | Leona | Levels 4-5 you keep punishing whiffed hooks while he has no escape. |
| Level 6 | Leona | At 6 your R-E-Q chain beats him even if he lands a hook, since he has no defensive tool. |
| First item | Leona | First item lets you body-block hooks and win the 2v2 as the sponge. |
| Two+ items | Leona | Late your reliable engage outclasses his coin-flip grab despite its pick threat. |
Blitzcrank owns level 1: with no E yet you have no way to punish a landed Q, and a single Rocket Grab plus his W-E knockup can chunk or kill you before you can retaliate — respect the hook range and never facecheck brush without a ward.
