How to Beat Leapers
Cast Stasis to Slow Them
As Leapers are fast and agile, casting stasis is an effective way of dealing with them as it slows them down and it gives you a clear shot.
Target their Arms & Tail
When Leapers are in stasis, shoot their arms then followed by their tail to bring them down.
In easier difficulties, and with the right angle, you can one-shot a leaper.
Leaper Variants
Super-Leapers
 Super-Leaper
Super-Leapers are much faster and tougher versions of the leaper. But the strategy of bringing them down is the same. |

Difference with Standard Variant
The Super-Leaper noticeably has muddied skin and a dim glow in their eyes. Although in darker sections of the Ishimura, these differences may not be as clearly visible. Additionally they are tougher and even faster, it may take more shots to bring them down than their standard variants.
Phantom Slashers
 Phantom Leaper
Phantom Leapers are encountered in NG+. They have a distinct bloodied texture, red glowing eyes, and larger bones that spring out of their body. These Leapers are extremely hard to bring down even with fully upgraded weapons. |

Death From Leapers
Isaac Gets his Head Ripped Off
In some occassions, Leapers will pounce on Isaac and he will have to wrestle it off.
If Isaac fails, the Leaper locks its fangs on his face and rip it off his body.
