Leona is the warrior you need to have by your side in TFT as she doesn't only control some kind of pet or spell but she controls the sun which is her ability.

Leona returning to TFT with 5 gold per copy must be a sign on how she has improved in terms of stats and skills.

She might be high cost but she is worth it as she shares 3 traits which makes her really strong as well as her skill which deals a lot of damage to the target and his surrondings.

This is a full article on how to best place Leona in TFT to make sure you burn your enemies with her sun’s ability.

Don't stare directly at me for too long.

Buying Leona from the shop would be profitable for sure, as she can deal tons of damage, but what's more important is that if you are trying to find a really strong frontline, Leona would do the work for you.

Moreover, Leona having three traits is something that you should keep in mind as you can activate three different traits with just one champion.

And in case you're wondering why Leona joined the League universe and TFT, here's some backstory: 

The Solari worship the sun most among the Rakkor tribes of Mount Targon. Children are taught to revere it and even shed blood for it until its original form returns. Leona's friends envied her skill, tenacity, and dedication as she excelled. Leona witnessed her companion writhing in pain and screaming. Destiny chose her to safeguard the Solari in the future.

Leona descended from Targon and ran to her elders, devastated. Diana had killed several Solari priests and Ra'Horak guardians.

Best comps for Leona

3) MECHANICS

For this comp, the best plan is to slowly reroll up to level 8, with Jax, Wukong, and Draven all at level 3. This is the only way to win.

This duel is all about Jax because he is the Prime Selected and because his Brawler and Mecha-Prime abilities are being used.

Best team to build this:

1-Jax will be your main damage dealer. After he eats Wukong and Draven, he will have a lot more health, and his Brawler trait will be turned on.

2-Wukong will give Jax all of his health and the ability to defend.

3-Draven will use up all of his life force in order to save Jax.

4-Riven is one of the most powerful bruisers in the game because of her Brawler trait and the way she uses her abilities as a shield. This trait of hers as a Defender will also be passed on.

5-Ekko will take a lot of damage on the front lines, but he will still give his allies the Aegis trait.

6-Having Sett up front, who has both the Mecha: Prime and the Defender traits, is a big help.

7: As the fourth Defender, Poppy will use the second level of the Defender trait.

8-Leona is a powerful tank and damage dealer thanks to Aegis and Mecha: Prime.

2) BREAK THEIR HEART

This is a fast reroll to level 8 with a very strong economy, since most of the expensive champions are on this team.

As a Renegade and an Ox-Force, Viego is your main source of damage in this comp.

Best team to build this:

1-Aphelios is your second most important damage dealer because he also has the trait Sureshot. Also, he is an Arsenal, which means he can choose different kinds of weapons. He and Alistar both have the Ox Force trait.

2-Alistar is one of your most important frontline players because he has both Ox Force and Aegis. This makes him a great fit for your team.

3-Ekko is a strong frontliner with the Aegis and Prankster traits that make him a good tank and give him the ability to call a dummy.

4-As a magician, Zoe can set enemies on fire. As a Prankster, she can call up a dummy when her HP goes down.

5-Since Sivir has both the Civil and Sureshot traits, she gives you a huge advantage.

6-As an Aegis member, Leona is a great tank. She has a lot of magic resistance and does pretty good damage as a tank.

7-Viego does most of the damage because he has both the Renegade and Ox Force traits, which make him kill every enemy in a flash.

8-Talon is an extra member of both the Renegades and the Ox Force.

2-Aphelios is your second-most important damage dealer because he also has the trait Sureshot. Also, he is an Arsenal, which means he can choose different kinds of weapons. He and Alistar both have the Ox Force trait.

3-Alistar is a key member of your team's front line because he has Ox Force, Aegis, and Mascot.

4-Ekko is a strong frontliner with the Aegis and Prankster traits that make him a good tank and summoning dummy.

5-As a magician, Zoe can set enemies on fire. As a Prankster, she can call up a dummy when her HP goes down.

6-Urgot is the most powerful threat member in terms of balancing damage and crowd control, since he can knock enemies down and stun them while also doing a lot of damage.
