How to Play This Matchup
Power Curve
Leona is strongest early game while Elise peaks early game. Play around your power window.
MR Priority
Both deal magic damage. An early Null-Magic Mantle or Mercury's Treads can swing the lane. Hexdrinker is also an option for AD champs.
Range Advantage
Elise has range advantage. Leona should look for short trades when Elise uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.
Exploit Leona's Weakness
Leona's main weakness: Poke, disengage, missing E. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Leona Win Condition
E engage, chain CC with Q and R, all-in at level 2
Elise Win Condition
Early tower dives with rappel, cocoon ganks
