How to win lane as Leona against Milio · 52.62% win rate over 5,946 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Milio | Milio outranges you at level 1 with Fire Kick pokes while you have no gap-closer, so the lane opens in his favour. |
| Level 2 | Milio | At 2 his Warm Hugs knock-back can cancel your Zenith Blade engage and his Campfire starts healing, keeping him ahead. |
| Level 3 | Milio | At 3 his shield-and-heal kit sustains through your short trades, so the poke war stays his. |
| Levels 4-5 | Milio | Through 4-5 his enchant poke plus W disengage let him win extended exchanges against your cooldown-gated engage. |
| Level 6 | Milio | At 6 his ultimate's cleanse and tenacity can peel your follow-up and save his carry from your all-in. |
| First item | Milio | First item turns his sustain oppressive, healing off any engage that doesn't convert instantly. |
| Two+ items | Milio | Two items deep his heals and ult out-value your lockup in every drawn-out 2v2, keeping the timeline his. |
Milio outranges your engage at levels 1-2: his passive-enchanted autos and Ultra Mega Fire Kick (Q) poke you while you have no way to close the gap, and once he has W he can knock you off any E you land. Bait his W or wait for it to be down before you commit Zenith Blade, ideally against a pinned target near terrain.
