Playing as Leona

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Engage at level 2

    Look for an engage at level 2: with Zenith Blade (E) then Shield of Daybreak (Q), you root then stun your target.

  2. Only engage if your carry follows

    Only engage if your carry can follow: Sunlight (passive) marks your targets for 1.5 seconds, and only your allies trigger it for extra damage.

  3. Activate Eclipse before engaging

    Activate Eclipse (W) right before engaging: you gain armor, magic resist and damage reduction, extended if the explosion hits an enemy.

  4. R on a stunned target

    Engage with Zenith Blade (E) and Shield of Daybreak (Q), then cast Solar Flare (R) on the stunned target: they can't leave the center, which stuns.

Playing against Elise

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Step up after a missed Cocoon

    Step up when her Cocoon (E) misses you: it's her only stun, on a 12 to 10 second cooldown.

  2. Don't stay low near her bite

    Don't stay in melee range at low health: in spider form, Venomous Bite (Q) lunges at you and deals damage based on your missing health.

  3. Ward the way into your lane

    Ward the path between her jungle and your lane: when she ganks, Cocoon (E) stuns you from range as soon as it hits.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive her first minutes, play for time: Elise is strongest early and loses impact once everyone has their items.
