Site Review
Dungeons:
- GB10 – (Rating: 8.5/10) Leona with her High Defense and Attack is a good damage mitigator and nuker. Her 1st skill is also reliable for crowd control on enemy waves. You still have to pair Leona with utility supports to keep the boss debuffed with ATK break, Slow and Glancing hit.
- DB10 – (Rating: 8.5/10) A good buff stripper and Damage Dealer (DD). With her high base Defense she can tank direct attacks from boss allowing her to work well on both Beginner, Mid-tier and Speed clear teams.
- NB10 – (Not recommended) no utility skills and limited attack hits.
Scenario:
(Rating: 8.0/10) Leona can definitely clear stages but on slower times (no AOE damage)
Raids:
- R5 – (Not recommended) Only offers attack damage and self-sustain from high Defense which does not benefit to the overall survival of team.
- Element Rift Beasts – Highly recommended for Light Beast Dungeon. Can bring in valuable contribution to remove the Distorted Shield.
ToA:
(Not Recommended) Other units outshine Leona that works well in team plays.
PvP:
(Rating: 9/10) Leona is a force to be reckoned on PvP. With her passive that replicates the highest stat and copies it on both DEF and ATK, she has a solid survivability and damage. She also has an important buff strip skill which is critical against immunity buffers and a counterattack skill which makes her an annoying target. Arguably the best Paladin for PvP battles due to her overpowered passive skill. Even her skill 1 is very reliable to stun and crowd control enemy units, she rarely glances because of her element neutrality to Fire, Wind and Water types.
How to Counter:
The plan to counter Leona involves a lot about her Passive Skill. Since she is primarily a DEF unit with an ATK stat replicating it, applying DEF break reduces her survivability and threat (take note that if you successfully land DEF break, you also reduce her current attack power). What’s more important is she has no immunity or cleanse. So as a team, land a successful DEF break and nuke her down before any cleansing or immunity happens. Another way to counter her is cast oblivion (ex. Tesarion) to remove the potential threat.
Other advice:
- Her passive works so that the DEF and ATK will result to equal values. If you look at the base stats, it is only logical to raise and focus on building DEF because the stat growth per percentage is higher. So it is ideal to go DEF% / CD% / DEF% with more DEF substats.
- No need to allocate ATK substats because it will be a waste, better go for SPD and RES subs to make Leona faster and slightly resistant to debuffs.
- Pair her with immunity/cleansers to make your team a real threat in PvP
Editor’s Note:
What makes Leona special and a beast in PvP is her unique modifier from her passive skill. Due to this skill alone, she becomes a tanky nuker which is uncommon to most damage dealers in game. With that being said, always be careful against DEF breakers and Oblivion skilling units (which is also why most players are hesitant to use her in Arena / GW Defense). But when it comes to offense, she shines best alongside Cleansers and Immunity buffers. Rune her with DEF stats instead of ATK for a more efficient stat increase.
