Leona
Champions that beat Leona
- Galiosupport
Justice Punch (E) knockup interrupts the Shield of Daybreak (Q) stun-walk and the Zenith Blade (E) dash recovery; Shield of Durand (W) then absorbs the Solar Flare (R) burst. Galio out-engages because his E reaches further than her Zenith Blade dash distance.
- Jannasupport
Monsoon (R) cancels Leona's dive mid-air — the moment Zenith Blade (E) latches the ADC, the channel pushes her off and out of Solar Flare (R) cast radius. Shield of Daybreak (Q) auto-empower stun cannot reach Janna's back position behind Eye of the Storm (E) shield.
- Lulusupport
Whimsy (W) polymorph cancels Zenith Blade (E) dash mid-cast — Leona's single committed engage gets answered for free. Wild Growth (R) knockup on the carry interrupts Solar Flare (R) targeting, and Help, Pix! (E) shield blocks Shield of Daybreak (Q) burst.
- Luxmid
Lux chips Leona's HP for free at 1100+ range while Leona has no answer. Light Binding (Q) roots her mid-engage at 1300 range, and Lucent Singularity (E) zone chains Final Spark (R) global execute after Zenith Blade (E) attempt fails.
- Miliosupport
Breath of Life (R) cleanses Shield of Daybreak (Q) stun and Zenith Blade (E) root the moment they land, granting Tenacity afterward — the back line stays alive even if Solar Flare (R) commits. Sunlight (P) procs cannot stack under Warm Hugs (E) shielding.
- Morganasupport
Black Shield (E) blocks Shield of Daybreak (Q) stun plus Zenith Blade (E) root chain in one cast — Leona's flash-engage lands on a shielded carry who walks out and trades back. Solar Flare (R) AOE stun is also blocked, denying the kill the enemy bot lane is built around.
- Poppysupport
Leona's Zenith Blade dash gets stopped mid-air by Steadfast Presence — she lands grounded, slowed, and unable to follow up Shield of Daybreak stun. Heroic Charge wall-stun follow-up locks her against bot lane terrain,
- Renata Glascsupport
Leona's Zenith Blade dash commits her on a fixed line — Handshake Q recast catches her mid-engage and throws her back into her own team, flipping the fight before Shield of Daybreak stun can land on Renata's ADC.
- Seraphinesupport
Zenith Blade (E) is her only gap-closer outside flash and Solar Flare (R) has a delayed AOE telegraph. Beat Drop (E) fired on Leona's E startup roots her mid-dash because the slow-to-root condition triggers off Surround Sound (W) decay slow plus the E base slow.
- Veigarsupport
Zenith Blade (E) is a line lock-on dash with clear telegraph that Event Horizon (E) catches on entry, locking her for Veigar Dark Matter (W) plus Primordial Burst (R) execute. Sunlight passive marks the ADC but Leona dies during her own Solar Flare (R) stun setup.
- Xayahbot
Xayah Featherstorm (R) goes untargetable for the cast, so Leona Solar Flare (R) stun and Zenith Blade (E) dash both pass through her without landing. Bladecaller (E) then roots the rest of the enemy team with the recalled Feathers for the ally support follow-up CC chain.
- Zeribot
Spark Surge E crosses walls past Leona's engage cast range — Zenith Blade E targeted dash needs line of sight, and Shield of Daybreak Q stun is melee point-and-click. Zeri then kites her with Ultrashock Laser W slow while Solar Flare R is locked behind cooldown.
- Ziggsbot
Leona's Zenith Blade E is an 875-range dash, the longest engage tool in her kit. Ziggs' Hexplosive Minefield E drops a slowing ring between Ziggs and Leona that delays the engage by a full second, giving Satchel Charge W time to reposition out of Solar Flare R.
Champions Leona beats
- Alistarsupport
Zenith Blade (E) dash-stun lands before Alistar can reach Pulverize (Q) range. Solar Flare (R) catches him mid Headbutt (W) and Shield of Daybreak (Q) chains an extra stun — Alistar eats the engage, Leona does not eat his.
- Amumusupport
Solar Flare (R) point-and-click stuns Amumu during the Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) cast time, cancelling the channel. Zenith Blade (E) dash-stun lands before the Bandage Toss (Q) pull, and Shield of Daybreak (Q) chains a second stun on landing.
- Apheliosbot
Aphelios has zero mobility (no dash, no blink). Zenith Blade (E) dash-stun chains into Shield of Daybreak (Q) plus Solar Flare (R) — one CC chain and he is dead before he can W-swap to Severum to heal or burn his Flash.
- Ashebot
Ashe has no dash or shield to escape lock-down chains. Zenith Blade (E) dash-stun plus Shield of Daybreak (Q) plus Solar Flare (R) removes her from the trade before she can Volley (W) back, and Frost Shot slow does nothing once she is stunned.
- Brandsupport
Zenith Blade (E) dash-stun engages from outside Pillar of Flame (W) range. Shield of Daybreak (Q) plus Solar Flare (R) chain-stuns Brand on contact, and Eclipse (W) tank stats absorb the Sear (Q) plus Conflagration (E) burst.
- Caitlynbot
Caitlyn has 90 Caliber Net (E) as her only escape on long cooldown — Zenith Blade (E) at 875 range dashes onto her after she burns Net. Headshot (P) auto stacks during stun, and Yordle Snap Trap (W) traps are sidestepped by Eclipse (W) damage reduction window.
- Dravenbot
Draven has no dash and no immunity. Zenith Blade (E) into Shield of Daybreak (Q) stun chain at level 2 deletes him while his axes ricochet uselessly. Solar Flare (R) AOE stuns him during the Adoration cash-in window pre-6.
- Elisesupport
Zenith Blade (E) plus Shield of Daybreak (Q) stun chain is targeted with no skillshot to dodge. Solar Flare (R) AOE stuns Elise during Rappel (E) descent, and Sunlight (P) marks let the ADC burst through Volatile Spiderling (W) shield.
- Ezrealbot
Zenith Blade (E) into Shield of Daybreak (Q) stun chain is point-click engage that bypasses Ezreal's safe-range poke. Once locked, Solar Flare (R) AOE stun chains follow-up before Arcane Shift (E) escape. Sunlight (P) marks let the ADC burst free.
- Hweisupport
Zenith Blade (E) plus Shield of Daybreak (Q) point-and-click stun chain hits before Hwei can finish the Subject: Torment (E) channel. Solar Flare (R) AOE stun catches him with no dash to escape, and a missed E leaves Hwei with no answer until next rotation.
- Ivernsupport
Zenith Blade (E) plus Shield of Daybreak (Q) flash forward and chain CC the ADC before Ivern can land Rootcaller (Q). Triggerseed (E) shield breaks instantly under Solar Flare (R) stun radius; Ivern has no peel against multi-CC engage.
- Jhinbot
Jhin's Whisper (P) 4-shot reload cycle leaves long vulnerability frames — Zenith Blade (E) lands during reload and Shield of Daybreak (Q) stun chains the Sunlight (P) burst. Curtain Call (R) channel is interrupted by Solar Flare (R) AOE stun mid-cast.
- Kai'Sabot
Zenith Blade (E) dash + Shield of Daybreak (Q) stun lands point-and-click on Kai'Sa before R lets her dash out — she has no escape pre-Plasma. Solar Flare (R) AOE stun zones Supercharge (E) channel and Eclipse (W) damage reduction tanks Icathian Rain (Q) burst.
- Karmasupport
Zenith Blade (E) dash + Shield of Daybreak (Q) stun lands point-and-click on Karma before Focused Resolve (W) tether locks. She eats the engage without getting her root off, and Solar Flare (R) AOE stun zones any Inspire (E) save attempt on the ADC.
- Miss Fortunebot
Shield of Daybreak (Q) point-and-click stun plus Zenith Blade (E) root land before Bullet Time (R) channel finishes. Without Flash, Miss Fortune cannot reposition mid-channel and loses the entire ult value to Solar Flare (R) AOE stun follow-up.
- Namisupport
Zenith Blade (E) dash plus Shield of Daybreak (Q) stun jump on top of Nami before she can finish casting Aqua Prison (Q) — the bubble has a 0.5s delay. Solar Flare (R) AOE stun follow-up locks her down through the Ebb and Flow (W) heal.
- Pantheonsupport
Leona chains more crowd control than Pantheon — Zenith Blade root, Shield of Daybreak stun, and Solar Flare R AoE stun all fire in sequence while Pantheon has only Shield Vault's W stun.
- Pykesupport
Leona's Zenith Blade dash lands before Pyke's Bone Skewer finishes charging, and Shield of Daybreak stun locks him out of Phantom Undertow dash setup. Solar Flare R AoE stun catches Pyke during his W invisibility approach,
- Rakansupport
Leona's Shield of Daybreak Q stuns Rakan the instant his Grand Entrance knock-up ends, denying the Battle Dance escape window. Zenith Blade dash matches W approach range, and Solar Flare R AoE stun catches Rakan during The Quickness charm channel commit.
- Samirabot
Solar Flare (R) is a delayed AOE stun that interrupts the Inferno Trigger (R) channel, and Zenith Blade (E) plus Shield of Daybreak (Q) chain a point-and-click stun lockdown. Blade Whirl (W) destroys projectiles but does nothing against Leona's targeted CC.
- Sennasupport
Zenith Blade (E) is a long-range dash that locks Senna before Last Embrace (W) finishes its delay, then Shield of Daybreak (Q) chains a point-and-click stun. Senna has no dash, so once Solar Flare (R) lands her slow autos cannot out-trade the chain CC.
- Shacosupport
Zenith Blade (E) is a long-range dash that locks Shaco mid Deceive (Q) cast, cancelling the stealth start-up. Shield of Daybreak (Q) chains a point-and-click stun, and Solar Flare (R) AOE catches the Hallucinate (R) clone fake-out before Shaco can reposition the real body.
- Sonasupport
Zenith Blade (E) jumps onto Sona before she can finish the 1.5-second Crescendo (R) windup, and Shield of Daybreak (Q) chains a point-and-click stun. Solar Flare (R) AOE stuns Sona inside her own R channel, deleting her bot-lane peel before the kill commit.
- Sorakasupport
Zenith Blade (E) jumps past Soraka's Equinox (E) range and Shield of Daybreak (Q) chains a point-and-click stun. Once stunned she cannot cast Astral Infusion (W) or Wish (R), and her low HP pool turns Solar Flare (R) AOE into a guaranteed kill on the bot lane.
- Swainsupport
Zenith Blade (E) is a point-and-click dash that ignores Nevermove (E) root, Swain's only defensive tool. Shield of Daybreak (Q) plus Solar Flare (R) chain-stun him through the entirety of Demonic Ascension (R) channel — he dies before the drain heals him.
- Tahm Kenchsupport
Leona's Zenith Blade E dashes 1000+ units onto Tahm before he can step into Tongue Lash range, the dash-attached root holds him in place, and Shield of Daybreak Q chains a second stun through Bone Plating.
- Teemosupport
Leona's Zenith Blade E at 875 range out-distances Blinding Dart Q's 680 range, and her Solar Flare R stun lands before any Q response can fire off. Shield of Daybreak Q point-click stun chains on landing, Eclipse W self-shield eats Toxic Shot E poison ticks,
- Tristanabot
Leona lands Zenith Blade E dash-root inside Tristana's auto-attack range before Rocket Jump W is up, and Shield of Daybreak Q point-click stun chains on landing. Even a Shieldbow only buys one extra second under Solar Flare R AOE stun,
- Varusbot
Varus has no dash or blink — zero escape tools. Zenith Blade (E) closes the gap inside Piercing Arrow (Q) channel range, and Solar Flare (R) stuns through minions before Sunlight passive procs amplify follow-up damage. He dies before Living Vengeance procs.
- Vel'Kozsupport
Leona Zenith Blade (E) dashes onto Vel'Koz from outside his Plasma Fission (Q) recast cone and chains into Shield of Daybreak (Q) stun plus Solar Flare (R) AOE. Sunlight passive marks the target and gap-closes past Void Rift (W) cast time before he can Tectonic Disruption (E).
- Xerathsupport
Zenith Blade E is a long-range dash to the furthest enemy in a line, closing the gap inside Shocking Orb's minimum-stun window. Shield of Daybreak Q and Solar Flare R chain stuns lock Xerath in place during his Rite of the Arcane channel for a free kill.
- Yuumisupport
You and Me! (W) attaches Yuumi to the carry but Zenith Blade (E) roots the host — both die together. Final Chapter (R) channel is interrupted by Solar Flare (R) AOE stun, and Prowling Projectile (Q) poke cannot pressure Leona's Eclipse (W) damage reduction.
- Zileansupport
Leona's Zenith Blade E plus Solar Flare R chain locks Zilean before he can drop a Time Bomb Q. Shield of Daybreak Q follow-up stun chains the CC, and the engage is near-guaranteed because Sunlight passive marks every ally auto for bonus damage on the locked-down target.
- Zyrasupport
Leona's Zenith Blade E dash plus Solar Flare R chain CC bypass Zyra's plant zoning, dashing through the field onto her without slowing. Shield of Daybreak Q stun chains the lock, and Sunlight passive marks Zyra for bonus team damage during the no-peel commit window.
