Track: Leona's E — Zenith Blade (12–6s cooldown). The blade root starts every Leona chain — stand behind minions while it is up.
Read from Yuumi's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Leona.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yuumi | Level 1 favours you — attached Q-poke pressures a rangeless Leona who can't trade back. |
| Level 2 | Yuumi | Level 2 favours you — your level-2 poke spike chips her while she lacks any engage range. |
| Level 3 | Yuumi | Level 3 favours you — sustained Q chip and heal keep you ahead before her lockchain is online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Leona | Levels 4-5 favour Leona — a single landed E-Zenith Blade stun-chains your ADC past your heal value. |
| Level 6 | Leona | Level 6 favours Leona — Solar Flare into her CC lockchain is a guaranteed kill your Final Chapter can't stop. |
| First item | Leona | First item favours Leona — faster gap-close and lower E cooldown make her all-in near-unavoidable. |
| Two+ items | Leona | 2+ items favour Leona — fog flanks let her engage land before you can W-reposition away. |
Levels 1-3 are yours: attached to your ADC you Q-poke a melee, all-in-reliant Leona who has no ranged answer, and before 3 she can't safely chain E-Zenith Blade into her stun without eating your ADC's damage. Her chain is the only thing that ends this lane, so keep the heal-speed ready for the moment it lands. Stay attached at all times, aim the missile at her while her dash is unavailable, and let your carry hold the wave near your side of the lane.
