Abilities
Ability text as Riot writes it, in both languages.
Shield of Daybreak
Leona uses her shield to perform her next basic attack, dealing bonus magic damage and stunning the target.
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.
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.
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.

W → E → Q → attack
Protected entry
Activate W before return damage. E carries you to the last champion struck; Q then empowers the attack that stuns. Check that an ally can follow.
R center → E → Q attack
Center-hit follow-up
R's center stuns; the outer area only slows. Confirm which effect landed before E and the Q attack. The approach can still be dodged or interrupted.
Q → attack → hold E
Peel instead of diving
If a diver is already in attack range, use Q's attack to protect the carry. Keep E until pursuing would no longer expose that carry.
