Leona, The Radiant Dawn - My Opinion

Leona is the newest character in the league. She is the first female tank to enter the league in its existence.

In her lore she is given her power as a gift from the sun, this is also goes with her move names Shield of Daybreak, Eclipse, and Solar Flare. Currently (Pre-Patch) she is an overall good champion with good base stats. 595 HP scaling +87 each level, 36 armor and magic resist which makes her a threatening tank early game, with good summoner spells and her stun. Leona could easily snag you those 2 early ganks to help start the game off.

I use 0/21/9 masterys on Leona getting awareness and greed for advantage over my opponents. My skill order is Q > E > W > E then following the priority of R>E>Q>W. The reason I rank up eclipse with priority is because frankly it is too good right now, the mobbing capability along with the defensive bonuses help you too much early game along with last hits and champion kills. Becoming minion fed on Leona can make you a very good ganking champion with your ult, and Q, and also a very big threat mid-late game as you will be very hard to kill but pushing out a lot of CC and damage from your ult+eclipse.

Items on Leona aren't much different from an Amumu. You will start the game with a regrowth pendant and jump into lane(I don't get a red potion because you have health regen already). Your build will follow out with THIS. Leona can become a big ganking threat after the phage, and she can become a very good tank late game .


All in all Leona is a very good addition to the game, lets just hope that riot doesn't kill her with nerfs.

PS. I tried jungling with eclipse and it doesn't work. =[
