Read from Lulu's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Leona.
This is Lulu's own plan; across 15,657 pooled games the lane is leaning Leona.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lulu | Polymorph cancels Leona's engage from level 1, denying her all-in. |
| Level 2 | Lulu | Your level-2 Whimsy/Polymorph turns off her E-Q stun combo. |
| Level 3 | Lulu | At 3 your shield and reactive peel keep denying her engage windows. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lulu | Levels 4-5 you punish her long cooldowns whenever she whiffs a dive. |
| Level 6 | Lulu | Wild Growth negates her level-6 Solar Flare all-in on your carry. |
| First item | Lulu | First-item you still cancel her lockdown-based threat with peel and vision. |
| Two+ items | Lulu | By 2 items your double peel out-values Leona's single engage every fight. |
You hard-counter her engage from level 1: Polymorph turns Leona off the moment Zenith Blade lands, before the Q stun auto, so her level-2 all-in has no payoff. Play at shield range, keep Whimsy up for her E, and deny the lane-brush so she can't close from fog. The polymorph turns her engage off the instant she lands, so hold it for exactly that and nothing else. Keep the shield for her follow-up rather than her approach. Push the wave so she has to cross more ground, and keep Pix on your carry for the chip in between.
