How to Beat Blitzcrank as Leona (Support)

While statistically Leona is slightly stronger than Blitzcrank as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Leona deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Blitzcrank has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Blitzcrank, ranking 14th (versus 37th for Leona) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Leona Support versus Blitzcrank Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Leona player to maintain constant pressure on Blitzcrank, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Leona tips:

  • Lead the charge and mark your foes with Sunlight before your allies deal damage.
  • Shield of Daybreak and Zenith Blade form a powerful offensive combo.
  • You can absorb a huge amount of damage using Eclipse, but you must stay near enemies to gain the bonus duration.

Playing Against Blitzcrank

  • Blitzcrank's passive Mana Barrier grants him a shield when he is low on health.
  • Staying behind creeps can prevent you from being Rocket Grabbed. Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab only pulls the first enemy target it encounters.
