While the complexity of Spirit Blossom 2020 may be initially confusing, Spirit Bonds are just slightly renamed missions with a similar progression system. And there seems to be more to this Ionian festival and summer event than described so far, as several Spirit Blossom skins are releasing at a later date along with Yone, the presumed masked man from the teas
Leona's abilities are geared towards getting in the middle of the fight and using crowd control abilities to allow her teammates to land their damage. Here is a basic overview of her abilities and when she might benefit from using t
The next League of Legends event is finally arriving after Pulsefire 2020 previously ended over a month ago. From July 22nd to August 24th, Spirit Blossom 2020 is a summer celebration that brings back missions, prizes, and the Nexus Blitz game mode for participating play
Furthermore, champions will automatically get gold by being near minion or monster kills. Finally, getting 4 kills without dying grants the ON FIRE! buff which gives increased attack speed, AD, AP, CDR, and resource regeneration but slightly increases damage taken while reducing shielding and healing. If someone gets ON FIRE!, the match will surely end soon unless they are stop
Leona's first active ability, Shield of Daybreak, has Leona use her shield to perform her next auto-attack. This next attack deals bonus magic damage to an enemy and stuns them for 1 second. This ability works best when it can be followed up with more crowd control from Leona's teammates. Essentially, Leona's Shield of Daybreak is meant to be the first ability used on an enemy that gives her teammates time and opportunity to land their abilities on the target as w
In an act of pure, unadulterated „teleports behind you,“ Yone's ultimate does precisely that. Yone dashes forward, damaging every enemy champion he hits and teleports behind the last target, then pulls all enemies hit towards him. This ultimate is a very simple ability that adds more damage and mobility to Yone's kit. The ability is also able to jump over walls and can be used in a pinch to escape if nee
Yone's addition to League of Legends is significant, as Riot Games realized they struck gold when they released Yasuo in 2013. Yasuo has remained one of the most popular champions in League in the seven years since his release, and it's apparent Riot wanted to take extra care in crafting a character to represent his brother. Yone is already a hit, making huge waves in the League community before he's even made his way off of the Public Beta Environment. Along with the re-release of the League of Legends game mode Nexus Blitz , Yone's release is sure to bring countless players to the Rift again, or perhaps even for the first t
Players will recognize both components of Yone's passive, as they can be seen in practice with Sett and Yasuo. Sett shares the capability to deal increased damage on every second hit of his auto attacks, and Yasuo also has doubled crit-chance. This should make Yone's hybrid passive feel very familiar to players who have frequented both of his predecess
If the game drags out past the 15-minute mark, both Nexuses will become giant minions and walk towards the center of the map. During Sudden Death, respawn timers are massively reduced, and killing the enemy Nexus will immediately end the match. However, the Nexuses have received upgrades and can now gain a massive HP shield, knock enemy champions back towards their base, or periodically reduce incoming dam
_League of Legends _ is receiving its second moody samurai with the release of the game's newest champion, Yone (yo-nay). Brother to Yasuo, the premier swordsman of Summoner's Rift, Yone brings an alternative, though not dissimilar playstyle to players looking to spend their time mastering the bl
Whether players only want to try Nexus Blitz once or intend to spend the next month queuing up for as many matches as possible, the game mode is certainly quick and a different take on League of Legends . But in the end, its player retention during Spirit Blossom 2020 will ultimately determine if Nexus Blitz returns sooner or goes away for a much longer time ag
Leona's best choice for summoning spells are going to be Flash and ignite. Flash can help Leona get in the middle of a fight or help her easily retreat from one as well. Ignite can be swapped with a barrier or heal to go with a more support play style, but ignite will bag more early kills for an aggressive Leona. For her Runes, the Resolve path is best for playing divey and aggressive. First on the Rune path, get Aftershock as it synergizes well with Leona's abilities and provides extra resistances on top of Leona's already existing ones. For your second Rune, go with Demolish because if you are playing aggressive as Leona, you'll be near the enemy tower a lot so it would be ideal to deal extra damage to it. The third Rune spot should be filled with Conditioning because it synergizes really well with Leona's Eclipse ability. Conditioning is also a free and guaranteed spike in tankiness at minute 12, which will cause even more problems for enemy ADCs that are also spiking in damage at this time. For your final Rune slot, go with either Unflinching or Overgrowth. Unflinching can be more helpful if you're playing an aggressive Leona that likes to roam because then you don't have to worry about first being near minion kills to benefit from the Rune. Unflinching will also provide Leona with much needed tenacity and slow resist so she can better maneuver when in the middle of a battle. On the other hand, Overgrowth will provide Leona with much needed extra HP that can help her survive High mobility ADC damage output in the late-game, so it is worth taking Overgrowth if you suspect a long g
