Playstyle

E (Zenith Blade) to close, Q (Shield of Daybreak) to stun, W (Eclipse) to tank — chained CC is the core. R (Solar Flare) can stun from range to open fights too. Her passive empowers ally follow-up, so she's the engager who dives in and lets the team clean up. Building tanky makes diving in easier.

Champion Tips

Riot official

Playing as

  • Lead the charge and mark your foes with Sunlight before your allies deal damage.
  • Shield of Daybreak and Zenith Blade form a powerful offensive combo.
  • You can absorb a huge amount of damage using Eclipse, but you must stay near enemies to gain the bonus duration.

Playing against

  • When Leona activates Eclipse, you have three seconds to get away from her before she deals damage.
  • Only foes in the center of Solar Flare get stunned, so you can often avoid this if you're quick.
