Leona

the Radiant Dawn

TankSupportResource: Mana

Imbued with the fire of the sun, Leona is a holy warrior of the Solari who defends Mount Targon with her Zenith Blade and the Shield of Daybreak. Her skin shimmers with starfire while her eyes burn with the power of the celestial Aspect within her. Armored in gold and bearing a terrible burden of ancient knowledge, Leona brings enlightenment to some, death to others.

Sunlight

Damaging spells afflict enemies with Sunlight for 1.5 seconds. When allied Champions deal damage to those targets, they consume the Sunlight to deal additional magic damage.

Leona uses her shield to perform her next basic attack, dealing bonus magic damage and stunning the target.

Eclipse

Leona raises her shield to gain Damage Reduction, Armor, and Magic Resist. When the duration first ends, if there are nearby enemies, she will deal magic damage to them and prolong the duration of the effect.

Zenith Blade

Leona projects a solar image of her sword, dealing magic damage to all enemies in a line. When the image fades, the last enemy champion struck will be briefly immobilized and Leona will dash to them.

R
Solar Flare

Leona calls down a beam of solar energy, dealing damage to enemies in an area. Enemies in the center of the area are stunned, while enemies on the outside are slowed.

Tips

Playing Leona

  • Lead the charge and mark your foes with Sunlight before your allies deal damage.
  • Shield of Daybreak and Zenith Blade form a powerful offensive combo.
  • You can absorb a huge amount of damage using Eclipse, but you must stay near enemies to gain the bonus duration.

Playing against Leona

  • When Leona activates Eclipse, you have three seconds to get away from her before she deals damage.
  • Only foes in the center of Solar Flare get stunned, so you can often avoid this if you're quick.
