Leona into Aniviamedium

Overview

Use brush control to threaten engage angles and enable ADC burst follow-up.
Protect ADC from Anivia's poke by engaging only when wave is thin and ADC can follow.
Prioritize river vision to deny Anivia's roam and secure dragon setup.

Engage only when ADC is in range to capitalize on layered CC and burst.
Hold and for all-in windows after Anivia misses or wave thins.
Avoid engaging into large waves or without ADC follow-up to prevent overextension.

Respect stun and slow combo that can lock down ADC in extended fights.
Beware of enemy ADC stepping forward past minions, increasing vulnerability to + engage.
Avoid engaging when enemy wave is large, as poke and disengage options increase risk.

Level 2 unlocks + combo for strong all-in pressure; track this to force fights.
Level 3 adds for durability, enabling safer trades and extended engages.
Level 6 allows long-range initiation; use with ADC follow-up and river vision control.

Convert brush control and level 2 threat into ADC access denial and kill pressure.
Use wave crash timings to roam safely and establish river vision for dragon control.
Force decisive all-ins with layered CC to lock priority targets for ADC burst damage.
