Laning Phase
With this Leona Build she remains powerful throughout the whole game, provided things are going smoothly. Her kit ensures that she can create many opportunities for her botlaner to get kills, stay safe, and farm up.
Leona’s level two is one of the strongest in the bottom lane. With both
Zenith Blade and
Shield of Daybreak, you can close the gap between yourself and the enemy botlaner or support and stun them with ease. With a level advantage at level two,
Leona can easily either secure a kill or burn a few Summoner Spells.
Leona's an excellent roamer thanks to her ultimate. You should be especially vigilant in ganking lanes that have no Summoner Spells or gap-closers. Ganking in conjunction with your jungler is all the more deadly, so try to coordinate with them to pull off successful ganks, and turn those kills into objectives as well.
Team Fights
Team fighting is
Leona's forte. She excels at initiating fights, either by catching enemies out with her
Zenith Blade or stunning several enemy team members with
Solar Flare. The latter is also a terrific tool for disengaging unfavourable team fights.
If your botlaner is very strong, it might be worthwhile sticking by their side throughout the entire fight and peeling. With
Shield of Daybreak,
Zenith Blade and
Solar Flare all together, you can keep enemies stun-locked long enough that your botlaner can kill them or flee.
Leona Abilities
At the beginning of a match start to skill the ability
Shield of Daybreak on
Leona. As the match progresses, it is best to maximise
Eclipse into
Zenith Blade and at last
Shield of Daybreak.
Eclipse is a very strong ability of
Leona in order to build up a lead and dominate your opponents. The passive is called
Sunlight and there is no need to set it manually on a Leona Build.

Biography
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.
The raiders attacked before dawn; fifty wolf-lean men in iron hauberks mantled with strange furs and bearing ash-dulled axes. Their steps were swift as they entered the settlement at the foot of the mountain. These were men who had fought as brothers for years, who lived in the heartbeat between life and death. A warrior in battered scale armor and bearing a heavy-bladed greatsword over his shoulder led them. Beneath his dragon-helm, his face was bearded and raw, burned by a lifetime of war-making under a harsher sun than this.
