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 Janna

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't trade into her shield

    Avoid trading while her ally has Eye Of The Storm (E): the shield absorbs your damage and gives them AD.

  2. Engage twice

    Bait out Howling Gale (Q) or Monsoon (R) with a first engage, then re-engage right away: one has a 14-second cooldown, the other 130 to 100 seconds.

  3. Cancel her Monsoon heal

    If you have CC, save it for Monsoon (R): after the knockback, she heals her allies as long as she stands still, and interrupting her cancels the heal.
