Quick Answer for Patch 26.20
Courage of the Colossus
Prismatic
Gain Shield after Immobilizing or Grounding an enemy champion.
Why on Leona
Shield of Daybreak (Q) stuns, Zenith Blade (E) roots and the center of Solar Flare (R) stuns, so locking down enemy champions keeps granting you shields.
1
Tank Engine
Gold
Gain increased size and percent bonus Health per takedown.
Why on Leona
Each takedown grows your bonus Health, which pairs with the damage reduction and resistances from Eclipse (W) to make you a sturdier frontline every round.
2
Quest: Steel Your Heart
Gold
Requirement: Possess Heartsteel with 400+ stacks. Reward: Multiply your Heartsteel stacks by 3. Increase your Health Regeneration by 12.5% of your Heartsteel stacks.
Why on Leona
Tripling your Heartsteel stacks gives you a large Health pool and extra regeneration, so you survive much longer after diving in with Zenith Blade (E).
