How to beat Leona

  • Don't extend in her E (Zenith Blade) range — it's her engage spell
  • Save Flash for E — if it lands she'll chain full combo on you
  • Buy Mercury's Treads + Quicksilver Sash for her CC chain
  • Passive Sunlight — ally damage after her ability hits harder; don't trade while marked
  • Focus her or her ADC — never get split up
  • Spread out for R (Solar Flare) — big AoE stun in the center
