Advice to Understand How Azir Will Play
Be a bird!
In the lane, try to position your soldiers between the enemy's minions and the enemy champion. This way you can use them both to last hit and to project threat onto your lane opponent.
Be careful about putting down both of the soldiers stored by Arise! Unless you're going all-in, always have a soldier in your back pocket if you need to escape over a wall or if you misposition your other soldier and need damage now.
Think of Emperor's Divide as a defensive ability first and foremost. Use it when the enemy engages on you or your allies. Remember that your team can walk through the soldiers summoned by Emperor's Divide and use this to your advantage when enemy melee champions engage on you.

Overall, Leona sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Azir. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Azir.

When playing cooperatively, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to buff allies and debuff enemies. Combined, these two will help their other teammates secure a victory.
