LoL VWK: Leona, The Radiant Dawn

(Left)Diana and (right) Leona.

Hello summoners, today I'm going to talk about Leona, The Radiant Dawn. Leona is a Tanky/Support and she have a lot of crowd control and her abilities are very aggressive(Nusaik,2013,p.1). Most of the players see her as a good offensive support because of her passive. Masteries for Leona is 1 offense,17 defense, and 12 on utility for a good tank/support. For items buy tanky and support items for a better advantage for both you and your allies. For runes you would need Magic penetrations for extra skill damage, Greater seal of armor, magic resist, Quintessessence of gold for extra money.

Abilities

Her abilities are Sunlight, Shield of Daybreak, Eclipse, Zenith Blade, Solarflare(Nusaik,2013,p.1). Sunlight is her passive Sunlight, which activates every time one of Leona's ability hits the enemy. When Sunlight is on an opponent and ally champion can give extra magic damage. First ability is Shield of Daybreak, which can stun her enemy with her shield. This is very useful when ganking an enemy champion to hold them in place. Eclipse is her second skill which gives Leona magic resistance for 3 seconds and when the time is up her shield explode causing damage to nearby enemies. This is effective because it works well with Sunlight for damage from the AD Carry. Her third skill is Zenith Blade, Leona sends a beam that hit enemies in a straight line and rooting an enemy champion for 1.5 seconds and making Leona dash to the enemy champion. Use this when you are chasing champions or attacking squishy champions from the back. Her ult is Solarflare, Leona sends a sun blast to the selected place and stunning enemy champion in the middle and slowing others who aren't in the middle of the blast. When ganking use this first so you can hold the enemy champion in place and unleashing very high damage on the unlucky enemy.

Tips

To have a successful battle in the Fields of Justice you must aim her Zenith Blade and Solarflare correctly because it is very important(Nusaik,2013,p.1). Most of her abilities are stuns so they are very effective in team fights and a very successful ganking enemy champions. Since Leona's abilities are magic you can give her Ability Power items for extra damage. Also remember Leona is not that fast and may fall behind the battle so you must put her first in the battlefield since she is a tank and slow. For more Leona tips and guides watch these videos.
