Among Leon players, Smoke Trails leads the star power slot at 52.0%. It takes effect when the Super goes off, so how often you charge that Super decides how much the pick is worth. The other option, Invisiheal, sits at 48.0%. The most common gadget is Lollipop Drop at 61.0%. You fire it yourself and can keep using it all match, waiting out the cooldown each time, so players pick the effect they want on hand most often. Clone Projector sees the rest of the picks at 39.0%. SHIELD leads the gear slot at 36.6%, with DAMAGE (34.7%) close behind. Gears add a smaller boost rather than a new effect, so this pick fine-tunes the build more than it redefines it.

About Leon

Since Leon doesn't like hanging with other people much, his ability to become invisible comes in handy. Only his little sister, Nita, seems to get through to him.

For gear and gadget choices, the field has settled on Smoke Trails (52.0%) and Lollipop Drop (61.0%) as Leon's default build. In the current meta Leon rates C-tier; Gem Grab 5v5 is where it performs best, winning 57.6% of games. Out of 106 rated brawlers, Leon sits at #64 right now. As an Assassin, Leon is usually drafted to fill that role rather than as a flexible pick outside it. Against Shelly, Leon wins 59.7% of games, its most favorable matchup. Wendy is the counter to respect (24.8%), and Bo the teammate that lifts it most. Beyond its best matchup, Leon holds up against Nita (58.6%) and Ollie (57.9%) too. Bolt is a solid secondary pairing for Leon too, at 62.2% together. The Wendy matchup is severe enough that Leon players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Smoke Trails (52.0%) and Invisiheal (48.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode.
