Leona

Arena changes

• R: AP ratio changed to 100% AP.²

• A hard crowd-control chain such as Leona’s can counter Double Tap and Reaper’s Toll; Mystic Punch can be used with the chain.³⁴
• For a crowd-control build with Reaper’s Toll, Darksteel Talons, Cruelty, and Reverberation, Leona can use Mirage Blade instead of Moonflair Spellblade.⁵
• Moonflair Spellblade, Reverberation, and some ability haste let Leona repeatedly use Q until enemies get crowd-control immunity.⁶
• Leona can chain crowd control with Mystic Punch and Reverberation, though Combo Break limits how many crowd-control casts can land before it triggers.⁷⁸
• Heartsteel is viable on tanks such as Leona.⁹

• Leona can deal damage while keeping an opponent disabled.¹⁰
• Leona can serve as a front line or provide peel against champions such as Wukong.¹¹
• Blitzcrank, Leona, and Morgana can form a team with an infinite crowd-control chain.¹²
• Mercy can help Leona trigger crowd-control break, then use another ability rotation to deal magic damage.¹³
• Mercy on Leona seems busted.¹⁴
• Courage of the Colossus is very strong on Leona.¹⁵

Earlier formats

• Leona, Jax, and Thresh can be effective with Mystic Punch or Moonflair Spellblade.¹⁷ 8x2 duos
• Leona’s passive enhances her allies’ damage, but supports may not activate it often enough for an augment that uses it.¹⁸ 8x2 duos
• With Reverberation, Mystic Punch or Moonflair Spellblade makes Leona very durable.¹⁹ 8x2 duos
• Reverberation adds on-hit damage, attack speed, life, and armor and magic penetration to a Leona build; the extra armor and magic resistance also work well with her W. The build deals damage mainly with Q and E rather than basic attacks, so Rageblade may not fit it.²⁰ 8x2 duos
• A Leona augment selection bug let her choose a gold augment after the round began while other players chose their third, prismatic augment.²¹ 8x2 duos
• Leona’s W made the extra armor and magic resistance from a Reverberation build particularly useful.²⁰ 8x2 duos
