Leona Build Guide by Ssyrak
|
Hextech is a great item on Leona. It may sound wired. But it increases her sustainability during team fights a lot. It also increases her damage decently what helps you to do your job: annoy Please notice: If you just commented my post or updated your guide please let me know - by writing an PN - to get new feedback / a new vote. I can't have an eye on all the guides I'm commenting.

So I just wanted to let you know that I've been playing leona since she came out, and have been experimenting and tinkering with her ever since and when a friend refered me to your guide I was blown away by the depth and effort you have put into it. it has helped me immensely and answered question I did not even think to ask!, I have found that this is without a doubt one of the best guides (let alone leona guide) that I have found on this site and I created a profile on this site just to tell you so. |

From lots of experience with Alistar, I knew your first build would be the one for me. With 999 ping half the game I went 4-1-10 before the enemy team surrendered. The only time I died was went I went to gank mid deep in my team's territory, where a 2v2 quickly turned into a 4v1, but I survived long enough for my team's Gangplank to teleport to me and pick up two kills, which could've been a quadrakill if he played it right. ![]() |

Hey, loved your guide and just wanted to ask if you can help me with the APtank version of your build. The thing is that i feel like what Leona lacks in the tank department, like aggro control or position control, she makes up for in her cc and just generally well rounded ability damage. By that token an APtank Leona should be a little better than a straight tank due to the fact that a tank that doesn't get hit and can't dish out damage, isn't a threat and therefore can't soak up hits for the AD carry tanks compliment so well. Water is a thought

As a new Leona player (and a new LoL player for that matter), and she is my favorite hero because her flavor is just so cool, I would like some help with the AP build of your Leona, perhaps a separate guide, or at least a more deeper in-depth coverage of her APtank version. thanks and much love ♥ I don't like building a ton of AP on She can get by on health and not a ton of resists if you avoid taking much damage when An early So... something like this at the end: I don't necessarily condone playing like this, but if I were forced to play AP You probably need magic pen marks and move quints, and maybe resists/level seals and glyphs. Or something like that. For masteries, I don't know... 9/21/0 or 21/9/0, not sure. Nothing can hold me back!
Tank as Alistar. Tank as Leona. Jungle with Sejuani Mid Cassiopeia. Learn (or argue) about items *First draft completed 12/30/11* The REAL summoner's code. Accurate depictions of \all chat are included, meaning there is a ton of swearing and slurs. GO WARD CRAZY with Wardwick, Wardekaiser, and friends! |

Quoted:
I don't like building a ton of AP on Leona because the combination of cooldowns and AP scalings just doesn't add up quite right. Disengaging when you're out of available skills (with Flash if necessary) might help.
She can get by on health and not a ton of resists if you avoid taking much damage when Eclipse is down. Rod of Ages earlyish and maybe Rylai's Crystal Scepter can be taken if you absolutely want to get AP. An early Sheen that later becomes Lich Bane makes sense. This can help you farm with W and Q, as her base AD is good enough for it. I don't think you're really going to be doing much damage late-game unless you have Lich Bane and Rabadon's Deathcap. You probably need Deathfire Grasp too, honestly. Kage's Lucky Pick might not hurt. So... something like this at the end: I don't necessarily condone playing like this, but if I were forced to play AP Leona at gunpoint, that's what I'd try first. I might give it a spin in a bot game for fun, but the game will probably end before the build is half done. :( You probably need magic pen marks and move quints, and maybe resists/level seals and glyphs. Or something like that. For masteries, I don't know... 9/21/0 or 21/9/0, not sure. So i tried this in a couple bot games and i did end up finishing the build most of the times. i noticed a small pattern after mixing up the order of item acquirement. It seemed like building the lich bane was the best help but only if you get the deathfire grasp as well. Also if I splashed in the lich bane and the deathfire witha normal tank-like build with a force of nature and a warmogs it seemed to make her character balance out her damage enough to actually be threatening enough for my friends to agree that fighting her ina team fight would actually force the opposing team to target her, somethign she normal has issue with as a tank. This build seems to work best solo top since it makes her farm much better with the added damage from the early sheen. This allowed a faster warmogs/force of nature and made the transition into lich bane and deathfire grasp more smooth than a baby's bottom. i chose the ionian boots of lucidity over mercury treads or sorcerers shoes. i'll test it in pvp and let you know what happens.
