| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Level 1 is yours - Leona has no engage before E, so you poke free. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even as her all-in threat trades against your E root. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays a skill standoff over her Zenith Blade landing. |
| Levels 4-5 | Leona | Levels 4-5 favour Leona - full CC chain plus tankiness walks through poke. |
| Level 6 | Neeko | Level 6 is yours - Pop Blossom punishes her committed engage. |
| First item | Leona | First item favours Leona as tank items let her all-in through your poke. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | 2+ items are a skill fight decided by whose CC lands first. |
Level 1 is yours - Leona is engage-starved before E, so you poke freely with Q. At 2-3 it's a skill standoff: she wants to land Zenith Blade to open her stun chain, and you want to root her mid-dash with E or bait it with a W clone. Respect her level-2 all-in if your ADC overextends.
