General information about Leon

Leon is one of the most efficient and mobile heroes of legendary quality. It can be obtained from any chest, even a regular one. Leon’s standard attack is to throw four shurikens that deal good melee damage and also accumulate super (ultimate) on hit. When using the ultimate, the character will be invisible for six seconds. He is able to quickly enter the battle and avoid quick death at the expense of his super, and also act as a counter-hero for absolutely everyone. The exceptions are Piper with ranged attacks, Crowe , Spike , Bo , Mortis and Shelley if he can get close to Leon.

With his level 1 ability, Leon is considered the second fastest character in Brawl Stars (the first being Max ). In addition, he has excellent damage from regular attacks and a high health reserve, which, combined with a super-ability, makes the hero very tenacious.

Key features of Leon

Health :

Attack radius : 9.87 meters.

Attack cooldown: 2 seconds.

Number of shots per attack : 4.

Leon’s abilities

Attack: Spinning Blades

Leon fires four shells in front of him. Their direction depends on the trajectory of the hero’s movement: for example, if he moves to the left, then the shots will fly there too. The damage from them can be viewed in the paragraph above. The maximum benefit from them can be obtained by using them close, so that all four shurikens hit the target and gradually accumulate ult.

Super: Smoke Bomb

Leon enters the invisibility mode for 6 seconds, and his speed increases to 850. The character can be seen if the enemy is at a short distance from him. Jesse’s turret, Nita’s bear, Penny’s mortar, Teak’s head, and Tara’s shadow will not be able to detect Leon unless they are close enough to them. In siege mode, the robot and base will ignore invisibility and will still be able to detect the hero and use attacks.

Star Power: Trail of Smoke

Smoke Trail is an addition to Leon’s Super, which gives an additional 24% run boost. In such a state, almost no one can keep up with the hero. An exception can be considered the head of Tick and Max under the influence of their own “super” ability.

Star Power: Secret Cure

Secret Medicine is another addition to Leon’s “super”, which allows you to restore health while invisible. The hero will receive 1000 health per second, which almost completely negates all the damage he received. Ideal for quickly recovering from a fight with an enemy and preparing for the next one.

Tips for playing as Leon

Leon can kill almost anyone who deals high damage while Smoke Bomb is active. His attack speed is too high, which allows him to deal with slow characters quite quickly.

After using the “Smoke Bomb”, other players see the direction of the hero’s movement, which allows them to deceive opponents by making false moves. Thus, you will confuse other players and disrupt the plans of the enemy.

The super ability is accumulated due to the number of hits on enemy characters, and not from the damage done. Try to hit the heroes running by as often as possible in order to accumulate a “Smoke Bomb” as soon as possible and be able to exit the battle.

With the passive ability “Trail of smoke” the character will move faster, due to which he can appear in unexpected places for opponents, which makes him even more powerful rival. During the duration of Smoke Bomb, Leon covers almost half of the map, so he is extremely useful in Heist mode.

Frank is considered the easiest target for Leon due to his attack speed and sluggishness. While he starts to attack, Leon can easily get around him and inflict huge damage.

During the game, Leon hits weakly, but at level 9 he begins to inflict colossal damage, which allows him to deal with a hero who has a large supply of health. In addition, the character will be quite difficult to defeat on maps with an abundance of grass, where Leon can hide.
