14.8 Chosen Of The Sun (2024)

Your standard support option for Leona, offering sustain and income gain over the course of your matches.

Using Heartsteel makes you exceptionally durable in team fights, allowing you to turn your health pool into a damaging tool against the enemy. It is an excellent buy when stacking high armor and magic resistance or other items that scale with health (ex: Abyssal Mask, or Sunfire Aegis).

With Jak'Sho, The Protean Leona builds durability overtime during combat with the enemy, granting increased frontline potential. A solid rush option as Leona to consider in every game as the resistances also aid in boosting Eclipse, allowing for more survivability from enemy abilities and autos.

Locket of the Iron Solari is a potent supportive option as Leona. The shield provided can help in near-death instances should they arise. Take this when facing burst heavy or damage over time champions.

Abyssal Mask is an excellent choice when dealing with heavy magic damage champions. It is also potent when you want to amplify the damage of your team's magic damage sources in combat.

With Anathema's Chains, you make yourself and your team durable against a specific fed target while also making them weaker to crowd control while you are nearby. It is beneficial when playing against champions you know can annihilate you very quickly or when looking to reduce their effectiveness in combat.

It gives Leona mobility to chase down targets or when escaping dangerous situations. It is also highly effective when roaming or travelling to objectives/team fights. Also a great purchase to counter enemies who have movement slows built into their kits ( Ashe) or within items they purhcase ( Rylai's Crystal Scepter).

It synergizes well with Leona, due to how effectively you can apply shield during combat. I suggest picking this up if you need more team fight durability.

Very efficient when dealing with multipleimmobilizing effects or against teams with magic damage based abilities. Force of Nature allows you to sustain burst damage champions like Brand/ Morgana or Teemo with heavy-dot damage play styles.

Buying Frozen Heart helps to reduce enemy attack speed, effective against auto-attack-based champions ( Kayle or other auto-attack-heavy champions). It also reduces damage on incoming auto attacks you receive.

Hollow Radiance is similar to Sunfire Aegis in every way. However, the main difference is that you'll run it when dealing with mages while also scaling with any health items you acquire. Best taken on Leona against melee mages such as Gwen, Akali, Evelynn or opponents who love to get up close and personal. With the added health regeneration, you'll have an effective way to regain some health outside combat.

Leona, equipping Iceborn Gauntlet is an effective option for slowing down your opponents every so often. Items granting health, such as Heartsteel or Warmog's Armor, assist in amplifying the strength of the icy terrain created, making it more difficult for your target to escape you or your team.

When Leona is paired with Kaenic Rookern, she gains a shield similar to Galio's Shield of Durand, providing excellent durability against burst and assassin-style mages on the rift.

An effective sustain option for Leona while being a strong durability option for her attached ally. It is helpful when taking extended trades or during team fights with the enemy.

Like Frozen Heart, you will reduce the damage of auto attacks you recieve, though instead of reducing attack speed, you will reduce the damage of critical strikes dealt to you. Especially useful when dealing with champions who build these items (the marksman class, Kayle, Tryndamere, Yasuo, Yone, or Master Yi).

Sunfire Aegis will burn enemies when you are near them, scaling with any health items you acquire. Best taken on Leona against melee champions such as Yasuo, Yone, Rengar or opponents who love to get up close and personal. It also helps against full attack damage team compositions.

Similarly to Dead Man's Plate Leona, gains mobility to chase down targets or when escaping dangerous situations and damages enemies on with a follow up action, though with Trailblazer, you'll provide a trail for your allies to follow similar that is similar to Janna's Tailwind and the Elixir of Iron speed effects. It is helpful to get you and your teammates to important fights or objectives faster.

A great asset in vision control when paired with your Celestial Opposition or Solstice Sleigh support items, utilizing all four Stealth Wards it offers, and allows you to store three Control Wards within this item and place two of them at any given time on the map. It benefits your team when opting for more vision control around important objectives and map locations.

A great alternative option for sustain and durability in team fights and skirmishes. Regeneration begins out of combat once you have acquired enough additional health (through keystones, runes, items, or levels).

Zeke's Convergence creates an area of effect slow (upon casting Solar Flare), while also damaging nearby targets. The slow field helps Leona stick close to fleeing targets.
