What are some good items for Leona?

Merc treads, Philo, and HoG are core items to get asap. She doesn't farm and she doesn't get kills.


 * What else?

~Glacial Shield and then eventually Frozen Heart are excellent items for her. She relies heavily on her abilities to sustain her Armor/MR, dash to carries, CC, and generally keep her innate debuff on enemies. She needs some CDR and some Mana to get this done and cannot jungle proficiently enough to justify taking blue from your ap carry.

~trade Philo in for Sureliya's. Lots of things Leona likes, with a mini ghost to boot. Though generally, you'll want to hold onto your gp5 items as long as possible. Trading in HoG for Randuin's is a little more situationally, a good item to bolster Leona's CC arsenal.

~From there, tank items depending on what kind of team you're fighting. FoN can help you chase and sustain between team fights better, BV allows you to shrug off combo-mages to initiate better, Aegis protects your team, Sunfire helps you farm / push lanes / damage squishies, Mallet helps you stick to carries better.

I do not recommend much AP on her at all, her ratios are not particularly very good and her CDs aren't good. Plus, you serve your team much better by focusing on being as difficult to kill as possible while
