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 Morgana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Dark Binding (Q) roots the first enemy hit, so a single minion is enough to block it.

  2. Don't CC into her shield

    If you have CC, don't throw it into Black Shield (E): it blocks disabling and immobilizing CC while it holds, and only magic damage can break it sooner.

  3. Break her chains

    When Soul Shackles (R) binds you, move away from her to break the chain: otherwise, at the end, you take damage again and get stunned.

  4. Engage when her E is down

    Engage when Black Shield (E) is on cooldown: it comes back in 26 to 16 seconds, and without it, her allies have no protection against CC.
