Prestige Battle Academia Leona reimagines the Radiant Dawn as a top-ranked academy champion with a clean white-and-gold coat, violet layers, and polished golden hardware. Compared to base Leona’s heavy bronze sun-plate, this look is lighter, sharper, and more ceremonial, with elegant cloth, crisp trim, and refined weapon shapes that glow at the edges. The color palette stays bright and noble: pearl white, rich gold, and a royal violet that shows up in seams and effects, giving the skin a classy graduation feel rather than a rugged battlefield vibe.
Her abilities trade the base’s orange sunlight for luminous gold with subtle purple undertones. Q pops with a tight golden flash, W wraps her in a gilded barrier ringed by soft violet edges, E throws a star-bright lance that leaves streaking trails, and R stamps a radiant seal that bursts outward in clean, high-contrast light. These VFX read clearly in teamfights and feel smoother than the base visuals thanks to later polish passes.
SFX are crisp and magical, matching the academy theme without changing the voice actor or adding new voice lines. The custom recall leans into the tournament-winner fantasy, with a confident flourish and a bright sigil moment that fits the prestige treatment. As a Prestige skin, it does not have chromas, and it sits within the Battle Academia line alongside other school-universe champions, drawing on the anime-style hero-school genre for its tone and styling.
Overall, the skin keeps Leona’s silhouette readable but swaps ironclad Demacian heft for tailored prestige flair, making her abilities look brighter and more ceremonial while still feeling decisive in play.
Release date: March 18, 2021 (originally obtainable via the related event as a Prestige variant; now returns in Mythic Shop rotations for 150 Mythic Essence).
Patch notes: V13.18 added new ability icons; V12.7 updated VFX; V4.17 delivered a texture update to Leona’s visuals that set the modern style for later skins.
Battle Academia is an anime-inspired universe where champions are students and staff at superpowered academies. The look mixes sharp uniforms, school crests, and bold, flashy VFX that feel straight out of a shounen fight scene.
The setting revolves around titanic, sentient God-Weapons and rival schools like Durandal, Labrys, Babylon, Amrita, and Sharur. Roles span students in the Battle Academia lineup plus staff thematics like Battle Professor and Battle Principal.
Lore: God-Weapons reshaped society, and the best of the best gather at academies to master their power. Only the strong rise through club ranks—Luminary, Sorcery, Battle, and Assassin—and every duel is a step toward glory (or disaster).
Prestige Battle Academia Leona is semi-rare. Originally available during an in-game event, it's no longer in the permanent store. It occasionally rotates into the Mythic Shop for 150 Mythic Essence. Some players also seek it out by purchasing accounts that already own it: Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
Yes, it can drop from Hextech or Masterwork loot, or appear through skin shard rerolls. The drop rate is low, so the most consistent method is waiting for its Mythic Shop return, or checking verified accounts that already have it: Buy LoL Accounts.
It’s a strong contender, especially for fans of flashy gold-themed designs and the anime-inspired Battle Academia universe. However, some still favor skins like High Noon Leona for its darker, western flair or Solar Eclipse Leona for its high-impact celestial effects. Browse and compare every option here: All Leona Skins.
Legacy skins are still obtainable thanks to our high end account store which features League of Legends accounts with the rarest skins at the best prices.
