so i noticed that there were very few people who could play a decent leona. i hashed this build together and got some decent remarks about it from teammates and opponents alike, so i present it to you, the mobafire community.

the runes are pretty basic, i figure you could replace them at will, but armor and ap seem to be the best fit for leona.

i go with a defense heavy tree. once again if it doesn't work for you, find something that does and go with it. i almost always fill the utility tree to get the gold booster to bolster growth.

the order in which you build is relatively unimportant. the ninja tabi are cheap, and make for a nice early d boost. zhdona's hourglass...decent armor boost, and a fat ap boost. force of nature, for those pesky magic users, also some nice health regen, since if you're any kind of tank, you'll be taking a beating. guardian angel...need i say more? all around an excellent piece of armor. warmogs....mmmm. nice fat health boost, and yet more regen. and a rylai's for another nice health boost, plus a bit more ap.

use what suits you here. i use heal and ignite because in the early game, heal is a lifesaver, and ignite can get you those kills that might have gotten away otherwise.
