Nice builds. I had quite a bit of success with this guide.
Thank you :)!
Nice guide +1
Thank you! :)
3rd build has no quints
OHSHI-
I'll change that right now! Thank you for letting me know!
great guide
Thank you <3
Not at all man, use them, for that's the reason I shared them with you :)
Also I noticed Leona is indeed a VERY sturdy tank, as I also play her as a pure tank when I'm not playing pre-made with friends, BUT this I found out.
In 5v5 I had MUCH, MUCH more success with A.Pen quints and marks as opposed to hp + M.Pen. I find Magic Penetration doesn't have that great an impact mid to late-game as opposed to A.Pen helping throughout the entire game.
I could farm early much faster (screw what people say about letting the carry have it, Leona is a tank-carry in my eyes) and get the HoG/Phylo much faster, allowing me to gear up easier.

Here's another one I just played.
My build order was :
Boots + 3 potions
Phylo
Mana Stone thingy
Boots + Sheen finished
(Had 3/1/3 at this point)
Megatron Cloak
Chainmail
Stinger (was debating Morella's before buying, but went for Nashor's instead to get some farm going)
Nashor's Finished
(5/4/14 at this point)
Force Of Nature finished
Randiums
Next items would have been :
Spirit Visage to counter TF and Swain.
Magebane done, though I wasn't sure when to finish it at that point.
By the end of the game they were focusing me because I was picking off and stunning their TF and Swain.
Wasn't so much the kill count, more the assists and the amount of time I was giving to bruise them.
I dropped my Ult, popped W, Zenith'ed in, Hit them, Waited, Stunned with Q, hit them, and then ran back and let my team finish the job, while I used my next stun to peel off my Brand and Lux. This ensured maximum effectivity of Sheen, in damage.
With AP-Tank you don't play as a nuker, more as a disabler from my perspective.
I'm loving this feedback! if I was playing EU I'd love to play a match with you, but i'm us D:
(They need Aus servers I swear lol)
To be quite honest with you I'm not a rune expert, I can't afford the IP to test combinations D:
If it works though, it works, and that is always a good thing!
I'm glad you've taken a liking to Nashors helping you farm. You're using it for its sole intent and I'm glad it is working! I'll put the screencaps up in a moment.
And yeah, I'm not a real fan of the AP-tank idea to be honest (Like to build to focus AP).
I've seen people try things like Rod of Ages and fail -miserably-. However, that isn't to say it isn't viable. My hybrid build tries to help in all aspects ^_^.
So you are finding armor pen to be more effective than magic pen? I find magic pen useful for sunlight and all of your skills, however with Armor pen you do get it for your Q and consecutive autoattacks.
Thank you so, so, much for your feedback. I appreciate it a lot!

Whoa! Thank you for such generous positive feedback!
I really enjoyed seeing this!
Lich bane was something I tried the -first- time I played Leona, thinking I could run an AP spread.
Still not sure about it, however Lich bane is an item I'm still considering - making it easier to expand from sheen than trinity force, and allowing you to get FMallet.
This is excellent. I'm glad to see my build is effective! Even in the lines of 5v5!
This is really good. Would you mind if I put the screenshots on the guide?
