When you begin the game, the Relic Shield and Health Potion will suffice for the first couple minutes of the laning phase, but for your early game items you want to get Boots of Speed and a Kindlegem. For your upgraded set of boots, it is common to go with Boots of Mobility if you want to be aggressive in lane and get early kills, but Leona may benefit more from the resistances given by Mercury Treads. During the early game it would also be wise to invest in either a Chain Vest or Stopwatch as both will help Leona tank up and build into a Gargoyle Stoneplate. Stopwatch's unique active, Stasis, can be used when in the middle of a fight to dodge incoming attacks by making her unable to attack or be attacked for 2.5 seconds, but it can only be used o

His capacity to outplay at higher ranks is severely limited as his kit necessitates repetition — especially in a meta where popular champions like Athelios, Sett, and Graves (to name a few) can be very malleable and situatio

After a less than 1 second delay, Leona's Ultimate ability, Solar Flare, directly beams a target location with solar energy. Enemies struck by the center of this beam are dealt magic damage based on Leona's level. Enemies directly struck by the beam are also slowed by 80% and stunned for 1.5 seconds. Enemies that are within the AOE of the Solar Flare but have not been struck directly by the center are dealt the same magic damage and slow, but not stunned. This ability is best used when the enemies are in very close proximity to each other. Since its an AOE ability and not a single-target one, you can stun multiple enemies with the epicenter as long as they manage to be right on top of each other. Using this ability after Zenith Blade and Shield of Daybreak means that an enemy can be immobilized for a whopping 3 seconds, which is more than enough time for your team to back you

In Scuttle Racing, two Scuttles spawn in the middle lane, one for each team, and they stroll casually in a uniform line to the bottom of the map. The key to this game mode is that the scuttles are susceptible to abilities so use slows and stuns on the enemy scuttle while defending your team's with powerful damaging abilit

In Nexus Blitz you're going to be constantly dealing damage and receiving damage. The Ocean Soul reward ensures that every trade is in your favor because it allows you to restore health and mana when dealing damage to the enemy. The effect only lasts 3 minutes, but that is plenty of time to decimate your opponents with your superior sust

In general, players' regular builds will still work just fine in Nexus Blitz as it is easy to acquire gold. You still receive gold for last hitting minions , but you also receive a small amount of gold for just being near a minion when it dies. Plus, when the fighting starts you will be rolling in the gold from kills and assists. In terms of strong builds, A lot of players are picking AP carries and focusing on building a lot of AP and Cooldown reduction since a few of the events are just straight-up brawls where you will need to deal as much damage as quickly as possible. Although games generally last 15 - 20 minutes because of how quickly you accumulate gold, it is more than possible to six-slot your Champion due to all the gold coming in. Another reason why games only last 15 - 20 minutes is that the MOBA game Heroes will enter a sudden death mode where your Nexus will literally begin walking towards the other and vice versa. The shortness of the game mode is definitely part of the reason it was so highly requested. Nexus Blitz is a great way to take a short break from ranked while still practicing your team coordination and fighting with fun eve

In the late-game, it may be especially hard to earn gold as a support Leona. Therefore, it is best to get your essential items first and then leave the rest of your build open to adapt to the game. Although the choices in items may seem daunting at first, remember to invest in items that primarily provide damage resistances and bonus

League of Legends had a major update in the past few years in terms of its Runes and Mastery Trees. Runes were originally a purchasable series of stat boosts that took ages to collect, but eventually, they were combined with the Mastery Trees to give unique abilities and stat boosts at no cost to the pla

URF Deathmatch is a mode where you're surrounded by minions and your cooldowns are decreased by 80% and there are no ability costs. In this ring of minions, teams must battle it out in a best of 3 match. If you get this event, you're going to be glad you built for Ability Power because you can spam your high-damage abilities like there is no tomorrow. Coordination can be implemented here, but the event will most likely determine which player has the strongest build at that point in the g

Leona's second active, Eclipse, casts a solar eclipse around Leona that protects her for 3 seconds. Eclipse provides a flat damage reduction while also providing bonus armor and magic resistance. If enemies are within the AOE radius of Eclipse when it runs out, magic damage based on Leona's level is dealt to them and Leona receives damage reduction and bonus resistances for another 3 seconds. This ability is best used after flashing into the middle of a fight or after using Zenith Blade to jump onto an enemy. Leona' will want to be as close to the enemy champs as she can when activating the ability because it is ideal to deal the magic damage from the detonation and also prolong her protection. However, 3 seconds is more than enough time for an opponent to flash away to safety so make sure you're right in the thick of the battle when you activate this abil
