Abilities

Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.

PASSIVE SUNLIGHT

Damaging spells afflict enemies with Sunlight. When allied Champions deal damage to those targets, they consume the Sunlight to deal additional magic damage.

1 SHIELD OF DAYBREAK

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

2 ECLIPSE

Leona raises her shield to gain 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.

3 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 rooted and Leona will dash to them.

ULTIMATE 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.
