Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Aftershock + Font of Life combination (54.2% win rate) plus optimal itemization Locket of the Iron Solari, Kaenic Rookern, Zeke's Convergence, and Plated Steelcaps boosts your chances from 48.1% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.
Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Leona's superior warding (0.93 wards/min, 15th among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor.

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Leona versus Shaco matchup as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. 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. Meanwhile, Shaco deals primarily magic damage (71.63%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Leona is superior vision control (ranked 15th among supports) (versus 23rd for Shaco), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Leona player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Shaco player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
