4/1/2023 0 Comments Leona runes![]() ![]() Against heavy magic damage teamcomps use 2 Magic Resist runes.Ĭlassic buy for a melee tanky support. That's why you don't need extra HP instead of Armor or Magic Resist in runes this HP rune is good for squishy enchanting supports who have lower HP so percentage of these bonus HP in total HP of squishy supports is higher than defense possibly gained by Magic Resist and Armor runes.Īgainst enemy teamcomps that lack magic damage and contain Pantheon, Pyke or Sett support, use 1-2 offensive runes and 1-2 Armor runes. ![]() Leona has "medium" base HP, uses Overgrowth and buys some extra HP in items. Adaptive force rune is stronger for instant bursting an enemy, CDR is better in long fights or combined with Anathema's Chains for permastunning enemy carry. Remember that Leona cancels auto attack animations in her AA + QAA + AA combo, so you don't need extra attack speed your auto attacks are fast enough already thanks to this ability. Take 1 Adaptive Force / Ability Haste rune + 2 situational defensive runes (usually 1 Armor rune + 1 Magic Resist rune). When enemies don't have enough CC to make Leona useless, take Overgrowth for HP to improve her tankiness which is useful in midgame and lategame fights. Use situationally Overgrowth or Unflinching.Īgainst heavy CC enemy teamcomps containing for example Morgana take Unflinching. Heal from Font of Life is in almost all games 200-300 % of amount of damage shielded by Bone Plating.īone Plating can be good only against Blitzcrank (and somehow might be viable against Nautilus and Thresh) because in this matchup there is guaranteed that all stacks of Bone Plating will be used in fights.Ĭonditioning is not as powerful as the Second Wind because Conditioning rune is more late game focused which doesn't help Leona much. And when she all ins, she needs to regenerate her health in combat. Leona is a melee champion - she often takes some poke. Take Second Wind to heal back after being in combat. Remember that Shield Bash doesn't work on Leona W. Additionally, you often let your ADC take full plate gold and only in some cases you push the turret too. Font of Life helps you winning 2v2 fights and getting lead, whereas Demolish requires having lead and pressure to be used and its impact is often pretty low. Guardian is useless because Leona goes in whereas her ADC stands back and deals damage from backline, so Guardian doesn't pop off. Grasp of the Undying doesn't pay off too - it would require Leona being in a lane full of trading, but Leona doesn't have enough mana for permanent trades, so she just wants to all in once or twice, get kills and go base. However, with Aftershock, she can survive enough to use 2-3 autoattacks more than without it. It only makes her squishy and grants extra damage in maximum equal to 1 Leona's autoattack. Glacial Augment is also a viable option, though its efficiency is less predictable especially if enemies dash or flash from the slow zone, the rune doesn't have enough impact on the fight - which makes Glacial Augment more likely a situational choice pickable specifically against dashless botlanes.ĭamage from Electrocute, Predator, Dark Harvest or Press the Attack is currently too low to be viable for Leona. Aftershock can provide her some tankiness (reliably) and bonus damage. Leona as a champion wants to engage, give some kills to her carries and then - if possible - survive and get out. Remember that if you play Leona + Yasuo botlane, Yasuo should have Ignite, you should have Exhaust or Heal. Trading Ignite for enemy Flash without killing him is often not worth it because in next 3 minutes you don't have kill potential. Remember that especially against enchanting supports (Nami, Janna, Karma etc.) you should use your Ignite only when you are sure that enemy can't escape. Leona has to create lead in the early game - enemy supports usually scale better and as you know, in soloQ enemy teams are often outclassing your teammates so you have to make something to improve your win potential. Ignite is currently the most powerful Leona support spell. In some situations you can use "flash in E" combo (flashing to target direction during start of casting E -> instant E from new location however this mechanic is hard with normal cast on E and should be practiced in Practice tool).Īlso, Leona lanes are usually camped by enemy junglers so you sometimes can use flash defensively (however, some 2v3 fights are winnable). Enemies in defense often flash out with low hp remaining so you have to follow with your flash and kill them.
