FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Leon is currently A-tier in Knockout with a score of 80/100. As an Assassin, Leon bursts down isolated targets and disrupts backline positions, making it a reliable pick when the meta favors Knockout.
Run Smoke Trails as the default Star Power for Leon — it works in most situations. Switch to Invisiheal on maps that punish your main weakness. For Gadgets, Clone Projector is the standard active pick; Lollipop Drop is situationally better on specific map types. Speed and Shield Gears are the standard choice.
Leon struggles against Nani and Bea, who can out-trade Leon at the ranges or map types where Leon is most exposed. On the flip side, Leon consistently beats Tara and Penny.
Leon performs best in Knockout (A-tier, 80/100). The Assassin kit — bursts down isolated targets and disrupts backline positions — is directly rewarded in Knockout, which is why Leon climbs higher here than in other modes. See the mode ratings section for a full breakdown.
Leon pairs best with Sandy and Gene. Since Leon bursts down isolated targets and disrupts backline positions, teammates that cover the opposite role — whether that is frontline presence, healing, or ranged poke — create the most complete comp.
To play Leon well, focus on Knockout where the mode rating is highest, and lean into being a Assassin that bursts down isolated targets and disrupts backline positions. Run Smoke Trails as the core build, track Nani and Bea on the enemy team, and pair with Sandy and Gene when possible.

HOW TO PLAY LEON

Leon turns invisible with his Super, closing distance on a target completely unseen before unleashing a rapid burst of spinning blade attacks at point-blank range. His burst damage at close range is exceptional but falls off sharply at distance, making him dependent on closing the gap safely. He is most effective against isolated low-HP targets and becomes a dominant force when a team cannot spread out to avoid his approach.

Never activate Leon's Super until you are near enough to a target that the walk to melee range takes under one second, as the invisibility has a limited duration. After landing the initial burst, if the enemy survives use the surrounding walls to dodge return fire while your blades continue their short bounce path.

PRO TIPS

Assassin Game Plan
Wait for a 1v1 opening before committing. Your burst is wasted against grouped enemies. Run Smoke Trails in most situations, switching to Invisiheal on maps where enemies can close distance. Use Gadgets as openers rather than saving them — an early Gadget creates the isolation your kit needs.
PRIORITY
Draft Around Counters
Watch for Nani or Bea. Both Clone Projector and Lollipop Drop are in your kit — learn which one punishes your counters versus which gives you an escape window. Use your Gadget early rather than saving it for a desperate moment.
MATCHUP
Best Team Shape
Pair Leon with Sandy or Gene when possible. Build toward Limbo in safe positions — it swings fights instantly, so activate it when your team has the edge, not when you are already behind.
