Answer

Ruling: Leona's stun effect targets, and targets must be declared when you put the ability onto the chain (at initialization), not at resolution.

Sequence:

  • Leona's effect goes on the chain when showdown starts
  • You must immediately declare which enemy unit at the battlefield is the target of the stun
  • The stun resolves later when the ability resolves from the chain

Nuances:

  • An ability targets if it must choose a specific game object to affect (not if it affects all objects of a set)
  • Even if there is only one valid target, you still must declare it as the target

Does this answer look correct?
