Hey guys,

this is my first guide and I wrote it because everything I've found about playing Leona as a Jungler was: "No, not good". And now I'd like you to show you that it is goodafter all!

First a look at my runes:


The spells of Leona have a long cooldown for jungling. But you need these spells for surviving, especially Eclipse . So I take Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction for lower cooldowns.


Leona is not that Champ with "tonnes of damage". But I need to kill the Blue Golem. That's why I take Greater Mark of Attack Damage for greater attack damage.


As a Jungler you need some armor, if you do not want to be "executed". So I take Greater Seal of Armor to get more armor.


Same reason as Greater Seal of Armor .

Now I will explain why i choosed this 0-9-21 Masteries.

Defense

• Summoners Resolve --> More gold
• Hardiness --> More armor
• Tough Skin --> You are the Jungler
• Durability --> More Health is always good
• Bladed Armor --> You are the Jungler ;)

Utility

• Summoners Insight --> I needed one point and I think it's better than Improved Recall or one point in Expanded Mind
• Good Hands --> I also prefer this skill over Expanded Mind
• Swiftness --> As a Jungler you need movement speed
• Greed --> Leona cant get a huge farm in Jungle, so you do need this gold per second.
• Runic Affinity --> Longer buffs mean more bonuses
• Awareness --> Leona doesn't deal "tonnes of damage". But with this bonus she can gain more experience although she doesn't kill every monster
• Intelligence --> Same reason as Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction
• Mastermind --> Lower cooldown on Smite is always good for a Jungler

My items:

• Cloth Armor --> Some armor for the monsters in Jungle
• Health Potion --> If your Health is less than 50%
• Boots --> I think it's not necessary to explain why you have to buy shoes!!
• Faerie Charm --> First step to Shurelya's Battlesong and higher mana regeneration for casting more spells before using Mana Potion or Recall
• Mobility Boots --> You need it for faster ganking
• Philosopher's Stone --> More gold per second and second step to Shurelya's Battlesong
• Shurelya's Battlesong --> This item is very usefull: At first you become more tanky by earning +330 Health and +30 Health regenerartion. Secondly you get 15% Cooldown Reduction. And at least you can run very fast with the UNIQUE Active: Nearby champions gain 40% movement speed for 3 seconds (60 second cooldown).
• Glacial Shroud --> More armor, mana, cooldown reduction and the first step to Frozen Heart
• Frozen Heart --> You become more tanky by gaining +99 armor. Your spells can be casted more often with +500 Mana and you earn 20% cooldown Reduction. And at least u slow your opponent.
• Heart of Gold --> More gold per second and first step to Randuin's Omen
• Randuin's Omen --> You become more tanky, the chance to slow your opponent when he hits you and spell to slow your enemies around you. All in all a good item for ganking by earning some good abilities for crowd control.

• Nashor's Tooth --> I think this is a good item for Leona because you deal more damage with your spells, hitting your enemys more often because of more attack speed and cooldown Reduction
• Trinity Force --> An other hybrid Item to deal more damage plus the bonus of Sheen

Lets have a look at my Skill sequence

At level 1 I skill Shield of Daybreak to have a stun ready for the first gank and a bit damageouput. At level 2 I skill Zenith Blade, that I can get fast to the enemy and stun him with Shield of Daybreak after. Then I skill Eclipse to max Level, because you need the additional armor in Jungle. Next Skill is Zenith Blade to get lower cooldown, because you need it to engage a teamfight and to chase the surviving enemys after the teamfight. At least I skill Shield of Daybreak because in early game you only need the stun. I take Solar Flare every time I can, because you need the lower cooldown on it.
