Hello all, First off id like to explain my reasoning behind the beginning of the build. The philosopher stone is basically just to help you stay in lane for as long as you can. Also, early game leona tends to be kinda mana starved, which is why at the end you get rid of it and get the abyssal sceptar. Everything besides that and the abyssal sceptar kind of speak for themselves...the reasoning behind this is so that you have more damage output for late game teamfights. I just want to remind everyone that playing as a tank for your team means that you should be the one to start teamfights, and soak up all the damage...but when you are laning, your main job is to protect and ensure the survival of your lane partner.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND...ANY BUILD IN ANY GAME IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES PRESENTED TO YOU. An example being...if you are up against a team that focuses soley on building ability power, you will not need to build much if any armor.

I know that there will probably be some speculation as to why i level her Q the way i did...but think about it her Zenith Blade and her Eclipse are much better for doing damage, and being able to get to the aid of your teamates in distress. Shield of Daybreak is excellent for its stun but besides that, upgrading it doesnt give it much of anything more besides cooldown and such.

I believe that it is very important to build flat magic resist and armor runes along with flat Health Quints for early game durability in your lane. the reason i chose to put more magic resist runes is because the item build consists of building more armor than magic resistance.
