Abilities

Ability text as Riot writes it, in both languages.

Q

Shield of Daybreak

Leona uses her shield to perform her next basic attack, dealing bonus magic damage and stunning the target.

W

Eclipse

Leona raises her shield to gain Damage Reduction, Armor, and Magic Resist. When the duration first ends, if there are nearby enemies, she will deal magic damage to them and prolong the duration of the effect.

E

Zenith Blade

Leona projects a solar image of her sword, dealing magic damage to all enemies in a line. When the image fades, the last enemy champion struck will be briefly immobilized and Leona will dash to them.

R

Solar Flare

Leona calls down a beam of solar energy, dealing damage to enemies in an area. Enemies in the center of the area are stunned, while enemies on the outside are slowed.

Leona vs Lulu: baiting Whimsy before you commit

The engage does not fail because of damage. It fails because the polymorph is up. Bait it first, then the lane is normal again.
