Playing as Leona
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Renata Glasc
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Handshake (Q) roots the first enemy hit, then can throw them into their allies.
- Step up after a missed Handshake
Step up when Handshake (Q) misses you: it's her only root, with a 16-second cooldown at every rank.
- Target her: she has no dash
If you can engage, target Renata: her kit has no dash to escape.
- Spread out from your carries
Spread out from your allies when she casts Hostile Takeover (R): berserk, you attack the nearest unit, your allies first.
- Don't hand them a kill
When an enemy survives thanks to Bailout (W), back off rather than offer a kill: they lose their health over 3 seconds, and only a takedown saves them.
