Dashing Through the Abyss: First Day Leona

Today two awesome things happened in the Howling Abyss. Volibear brought the thunder, knocking everyone into the air with his fancy new rework and I finally learned how to play Leona!

I'm not gonna lie, I have played Leona once before, but I didn't really quite get the kit until today. I finally got the rhythm down for how you're supposed to use her E, Zenith Blade, to engage and how you can combo it with the rest of your kit to really mess things up and secure the W for your team. Free wins = best wins.

I don't own her yet, but she's definitely a champ I want to get in the next few months once I have enough BE or a skin shard.

Some thoughts on Leona's kit and Zenith Blade (E):
Zenith Blade (E) provides some great mobility and lengthy range for catching people as they're trying to run away and the way that it positions you post-cast allows for a quick-cast of your Q (Shield of Daybreak) to stun the enemy and secure the kill for your team.

Getting the timing right on your ultimate, Solar Flare, is suuuuuper rewarding when you can plant it properly to catch them in the middle for a 1.5sec stun. It gives you a second to catch up and poke them with your E, followed by your Q to CC chain them to oblivion and sustain all the damage from their teammates and burst them down with your W (Eclipse).

I definitely want to give Leona some more practice but until then, I just get to look back on all the wreckoning my team brought down in the Abyss earlier.

I edited some of my favorite clips from today, showing some of the combos and my utilization of Leona's kit into a quick YouTube video for you guys.

I hope you enjoy!
