When facing Leona's top counters like Taric, Rakan, Thresh, consider adjusting your situational items to increase survivability and match their damage output. Focus on completing your core damage items before heavily investing in defensive situational items, as Leona needs sufficient damage to remain a threat in counter matchups. Adapt your final build slots with items like Protoplasm Harness or Thornmail based on which counter champions you're facing and their itemization patterns. Monitor enemy builds and adjust accordingly for optimal Leona performance.
