Thanks for this, I've played with several Leona's and the major difference between them has been how conservative they are with their abilities. The bad ones only engage without risk and end up getting themselves starved out of the lane, while the good ones run an aggressive game from the start, and it makes all the difference. She really is meant to be played aggressively, and the other team will hate you for it if you do.

Still seems like a bit of a waste, but I guess I'll let it slide since it's the last item, and no problem, glad I could help with a character I don't even own!

I could very much agree with Banshee's Veil. Aegis of the Legion is a cost-effective item, which generally makes it better for early game. All of the other items in this build make its contribution severely diminished late-game, but it could be fit in earlier. You'd probably end up selling it late game in that event.

I suggested Warmog's because it synergizes well with my regen talents, Shurelya's, and Force of Nature. I've found lately that the amount of mitigation you get from constant Eclipse + the other items makes Armor+MR unnecessary for the last item, but Banshee's is a very strong one as well, mainly for its passive. Another good one would be Guardian Angel. I simply like the regen because she has no other really effective way to gain health, and that's more my playstyle.

I'll add those thoughts to the guide. Thanks Yoshi :)

I wouldn't take Warmongs, I'd say Banshee's Veil or an earlier Aegis of the Legion instead.

lol, thanks again, Sally.

Thanks for that, though you really only needed to mention it. It's pretty easy to lose track of that when you're working on adding and improving in real time, and they've got this handy little Edit button for just such an occasion!

-1 For not even noticing you have 6 points in Zenith blade and only 4 in Shield of Daybreak

I just played with this build, and I noticed how much of a difference it makes to be able to freely use her abilities instead of having to conserve them quite a bit. I ran AP with her yesterday and couldn't really find that it made any real difference in her threat. But, when her ult goes from over a minute to every 45 seconds or so, THAT's a game-breaker, imo. Good work!

That's entirely your preference, as I said. I will say, however, that if you don't think it's necessary, you're probably not using her abilities as much as you could be.

I understand Clarity isn't a popular choice on the whole, but I explained my reasons for it. :) Thanks for your input!

didnt vote but
imo clarity is not needed :/
