I normally go teleport and flash on Leona - she's my main charater, along with boots of mobility (being a tank requires you to get into a fight, die and go back again very quickly if needed), and I use this build when I'm playing alone or with just 1~2 friends, and 2~3 random players. It's awesome because everyone expects a Tank-useless Leona, and then you charge in cutting heads off. Best feeling ever.

And by the way, she might be the best ganking tank in the whole game so far. Her ulti can almost reach the middle of mid lane, from the bushes, giving enough time to close in for zenith blade and shield of daybreak. Just awesome. +1

You should probably mention that Leona is kind of gank dependant, because she barely has any burst before level six. She pokes and lane controls pretty well thanks to her stun and charge, but she can't just lunge at you and finish you off, untill she has her ultimate. Leona is one of the easier champs to gank for though, which makes her an awesome solo top. She also ganks well herself, making it possible to gank other lanes if you choose Teleport. Last (Personal opinion) you should max R>W>Q>E, this is because adding points to Q or E early is like giving yourself a slight damage boost, but W is both the most high damaging ability and the best tool for anti-ganks and harassing. If you spec out W first, you will also make up for the loss of tankiness with the usual "Tank Leona", but still gaining damage.


Thanks! Although I've put her solo top (at least I think I said that somewhere) The reason I max Q first is just to be able to spam her Q more. Sure spamming it isn't exactly going to be the best, but I've found that she lacks damage against other solo tops, and when you're in pinches, you can just whack them and leave, giving you that extra two seconds.

This is a weird build, but I KNOW it can work because Leona can be really tanky with just Atmogs + W :P

But just some suggestions:
  • Maybe use Mercury's Treads instead of Cdr boots, since you're focusing on auto-attacks.

I'm not going to vote, because I seriously doubt the viability of the current build, but you're off to a good start :)


I added Mercury's Treads into the 'other' sections, and I had the CDR boots inside of the guide because of the ability to nearly spam CC. I agree with the choice of Trinity Force though, I'm not sure why I had Phantom Dancers in it, maybe it was because I thought she was too slow.
