This is Senna's own plan; across 16,233 pooled games the lane is leaning Senna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — you can hold range against her before any engage tool is up. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even — you can Q-root her before Zenith Blade connects. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays even as careful positioning denies her the first E. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain a skill window decided by whether her E lands. |
| Level 6 | Leona | Level 6 favors Leona — Solar Flare guarantees her full lockdown all-in. |
| First item | Leona | First item favors Leona — one E opens a CC chain no peel out-durations. |
| Two+ items | Leona | Two-plus items favor Leona — her tanky flank-and-chain picks off your backline all game. |
Levels 1-4 are a skill window: Leona wants to E-Q all-in but you're ranged, so if you respect her engage range and Q-root her on approach you can keep trades neutral. The whole early game is about denying her the first E — if it lands, her chain out-durations anything you have, so position defensively and ward her pathing. Nothing but her chain closes the gap, so save the root for the instant she lands. Collect souls while she waits, heal your carry through the follow-up, and let the range you bank keep you further from her every wave.
