Learn how to Leona counter with these essential tips.

All
Position behind minions when facing Leona — her E (Zenith Blade) is blocked by minions, preventing her primary engage tool from reaching you.
Basic Lane Phase
Prepare for Leona's level 2 all-in — when she hits level 2 (first wave plus 3 melee minions), she gains access to both Q and E, creating a powerful stun+root combo.
Basic Lane Phase
Punish Leona after she misses her E (Zenith Blade) — she has no disengage tools, making her vulnerable for 6-12 seconds while her engage is on cooldown.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Keep the minion wave closer to your tower when possible — this forces Leona to dive if she wants to engage, making her initiation much riskier.
Lane Phase
Spread out in teamfights against Leona — her R (Solar Flare) has a 325-unit radius, and grouping makes it easier for her to stun multiple teammates at once.
Team Fight
Stay beyond medium range (900 units) from Leona when possible — this keeps you outside the range of her E (Zenith Blade), her primary way of reaching you.
Lane Phase Team Fight
When Leona reaches level 6, respect her increased threat range — her R (Solar Flare) can stun from long range (1200 units) with a brief 0.625-second delay.
Lane Phase Team Fight
Place a Control Ward when Leona disappears from lane — she's a strong roamer, especially with Mobility Boots, and deep vision can protect your mid laner from ganks.
Advanced Lane Phase
Fight in open areas rather than narrow corridors when facing Leona — enclosed spaces make her R (Solar Flare) more effective by limiting your team's ability to spread out.
Advanced Team Fight Skirmish
Leona's W (Eclipse) extends for an additional 3 seconds if it hits an enemy when it detonates, giving her up to 6 seconds of damage reduction and bonus resistances.
