Playing as Renata Glasc
Tips to maximize your impact
- Shield and slow in one cast
Cast Loyalty Program (E) through allies and enemies: its two missiles shield your allies and slow enemies by 30%.
- Throw your target where you want
Recast Handshake (Q) to throw your target away from your carry, or into their allies: a thrown champion stuns the enemies they crash into.
- Bailout on the ally in danger
Cast Bailout (W) on an ally about to die mid-fight: they return to full health, then lose it over 3 seconds unless they get a takedown.
- Turn their grouped carries berserk
Cast Hostile Takeover (R) on their grouped carries: berserk, they attack the nearest unit, their own allies first.
Playing against Leona
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Respect her level 2
Back off if she reaches level 2 before you: Zenith Blade (E) then Shield of Daybreak (Q) root you, then stun you.
- Trade after her E
Trade right after Zenith Blade (E): it's her only dash to engage, and it has a 12 to 6 second cooldown.
- Don't line up with an ally
Don't stand in line with an ally when facing her: Zenith Blade (E) damages every enemy in its path and roots the last champion hit.
- Save your answer for her engage
If you have a knockback or a cleanse, save it for her engage: her whole combo relies on Zenith Blade (E) followed by a stun.
- Get out of the center of her R
When Solar Flare (R) lands, get out of the center: it stuns, while the edge only slows.
