When to play Battle Academia Leona
Strengths
- Big power spike once Katarina hit 3 stars
- Two damage threats (Leona and Yuumi) make itemizing flexible
- Rarely played, so its units are usually free
- Strong mid game once the reroll units are upgraded
Weaknesses
- Average place is worse than 78% of comps of the same board size
- Needs Leona and Yuumi at high cost, which can be hard to hit
- Falls off hard if someone else is rerolling Katarina
Strategic Tips
Economy
Reach 50 gold, then slow roll at level 6 with only the excess until Katarina are 3-starred.
Itemization
Build Spirit Visage, Gargoyle Stoneplate, and Steadfast Heart on Leona.
When to pivot
Scout at 2-1 and 3-2: if two or more players hold your core units, or you haven't found any by 3-2, move into one of the comps on the Similar Comps tab instead of forcing Battle Academia Leona.
