Tested this guide out since i love Leona and gets you through the jungle great, how ever id have to disagree on what you skills you get, i always max out W for the extra armor/MR then max our her Zenith blade next for the CDR, i do understand your jumping around with her skills because of her CDR being **** at the start, Your guide is a great start for jungling but any person who plays Leona and knows how she works can make the necessary changes.

Sirell, I would very much like you to make helpful comments as I have said this is really only a preliminary article on how to Jungle Leona. Please Suggest a better Masteries Spec, and Skill sequence. I have made some changes after taking your comments under review. Please go back and see if they are more effective.


The fact that it is preliminary article is irrelevant. What you have authored is either effective or it is not. It should not be my job to tell you how to specc materies properly or that your skill sequence was impossible. If you are unable to tell these things apart, and also get it wrong on the second try, you should not be writing guides.

Your skilling priority was correct the first time. However, what you did wrong was you maxed an ability by level 8, which is impossible unless you skip your ultimate at level 6. Your skilling is actually even worse now. It is absolute basic that 99% of champions will max one ability at level 9, 13, 16 (for ultimate) and 18. In Leona's case, it is W>E>Q and of course, taking your ultimate at levels 6, 11 and 16.

Your failure to even understand this basic concept along with the fact that you didn't even know what Leona's passive did will mean my downvote stays.

As for content, some things are lacking - Masteries, for example. You have no explanation of this, so I do not know your reasoning for taking 3 random points in Fleet of Foot for no apparent reason when you could put them in the offence tree for a better clear time.

Your runes are also wrong. %Hp seals are absolutely ineffective when they add up to 1%. I means you get 30hp at 3000 max hp. That's less than half an autoattack. It also has no effect early game, since you haven't built any hp items yet. Pure armour seals, on the other hand do % physical damage reduction. I'm also not entirely convinced by the random 4 CDR glyphs, but I can at least understand the reasoning behind them.

Your item choices are just plain poor. Leona is largely magic damage except for autoattacks, so Black Cleaver is a poor choice. If you want CDR, there are better items (you already have Spirit Visage, Spirit of the Ancient Golem and CDR glyphs - if you take another CDR item, you'll go over the 40% CDR cap). Frozen Mallet is fairly pointless when you already have 2 and a half CC abilities on 30% CDR. Blade of the Ruined King is pointless on a champion who has no AS or AD scalings, even for the active.

When you considered the items, it looks like you didn't even take Leona's kit into account.

Sorry, but this is genuinely a very poor guide.

My personal experience with Season 3 Leona Jungle I used Flat Atk Speed marks.
Have you tested both? Since Leona is mainly a CC tanky, especially how you're building her, we should be focusing on clear and not worry about how much your autos do to champs.

Also regardless of rune choice I think maxing fury is better than the double edged and expose weakness.

For masteries.
I would
-1 Runic The shield isn't really worth the point
-2 Enchanted Armor Wasn't very good last season or this
-1 Bladed Armor 1% is very bad

+1 Unyielding
+1 Swiftness I personally like it to catch up to people
+2 Recovery/Tenacious Your choice really

Like'd the build regardless +1

Correction has been made to Playstyle and strategies. I do appreciate that. Unfortunately I was not paying attention when righting this and was in a hurry and was not being careful. Thank you Dr. Bradock.

Incorrect skill sequence, does not understand what passive does, mastery page inefficiently specced, little-to-no written content.

About your section "Playstyle and Stratagies", isn't Leona supposeed to be unable to activate her passive herself ?? It's in te description of her passive : "Leona is unable to activate the additional damage herself"
