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 Soraka

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her star

    Dodge Starcall (Q): if it hits a champion, Soraka heals and speeds up, and can pass that heal on to an ally.

  2. Leave her Equinox fast

    Get out of Equinox (E) fast: you're silenced inside, and rooted if you're still there when the zone disappears.

  3. Focus her, not the healed ally

    If you can reach her, focus Soraka rather than the ally she heals: she has no dash, and each Astral Infusion (W) costs her health.

  4. Finish in a single burst

    Finish your targets in a single burst: Wish (R) heals them wherever they are, and more below 40% health.
