This was what Leona had prepared for. She knew she would find 2Diana fleeing down the mountain, retreating before the light of the sun. She breathed deeply to still her fluttering heartbeat, willing it silent with grim resolve. This time upon their meeting, she had the upper hand; this time, she would face her old friend head-on.

Original Leona: Base Skin

1 / 26-Aug-2020

Level 1

She stood amidst them as she prepared for battle--radiating light, bedecked in crimson and gold, her eyes like embers. As the rising sun crowned her head in light, each Solari present lowered their eyes, not in shame, but in deference to their shining leader.

Level 2

This was what Leona had prepared for. She knew she would find 2Diana fleeing down the mountain, retreating before the light of the sun. She breathed deeply to still her fluttering heartbeat, willing it silent with grim resolve. This time upon their meeting, she had the upper hand; this time, she would face her old friend head-on.

Leona's Morning Light

"She is our unflinching leader in the heavens, the blinding flash of our weapons at noon, and the unquenchable fire that burns in our hearts."
- 3 Solari Priestess

Edit

Battle Academia Leona: Common Skin

Striking fear into her classmates' hearts, one flipped tray at a time.

Features:

• 2 new artworks

This skin is available for purchase.

700 / 06-Oct-2021

Level 1

Leona had hoped Labrys Academy would prove a worthy challenge, where she would learn and grow as a valiant protector, even amonst the unruly student body. Her hopes were met early, often and to her frequent dismay, unexpectedly.

Level 2

"Overreacting? Preposterous. You called this a food FIGHT. Ready yourselves accordingly, or fall!"

Edit

Corrupted Leona: Common Skin

Mortals cannot withstand such gross incandescence.

Features:

• 2 new artworks

This skin is limited: From the Corrupted Event Pass 2022.

31-Aug-2022

Level 1

As day broke, a warm calm suffused Leona's entire spirit. How had she not realized it sooner? The Sun’s brilliance belonged only to the chosen, the righteous, the worthy...

Level 2

...And it was her divine obligation to punish any who dared look upon Her light with undeserving eyes.

Edit

Solar Eclipse Leona: Common Skin

A Sun-imbued shield fears no darkness.

Features:

• 2 new artworks

This skin is limited: From the Eclipse Knights event pass 2023.

13-Sep-2023

Level 1

Resurrection of the Old Gods looms. The Order's most important fight lies ahead--and Leona knows that those who cling to the mysteries of the past invite only sin and sacrilege. She cannot tolerate doubt, even if it comes from the woman closest to her heart.

Level 2

"Behind, darkness. Ahead, a burning path. We take the Sun for our sacrament, and find our purpose by the light of the radiance within."

Edit

Notes

• Until Patch 1.13 Solar Flare was marked as "Common" despite being uncollectible.

Trivia

• The flavour texts and artworks of level 2 2Diana and Leona depict them when they finally confronted the other. Both of the artworks are from the other's point of view.
  • The shadow of Leona can be seen in Diana's artwork.
