LeBron has a unique mechanic in that his moves get altered depending on whether or not he has a basketball. While you can still fight without the ball, it would be best to always have a ball in his hands as this is crucial to his combos.
| Perk and Rating | Description | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| ★★★★★ Hot Hands |
LeBron’s no-look passes ignite his basketball. If LeBron dunks an ally’s ignited basketball, he ignites all damaged enemies and creates a fir wall on the ground. | LeBron's no-look passes will deal additional damage as DoT and you'll be using the passes during combos quite often, so having that additional damage is great! |
| ★★★★☆ Keep Possession |
When LeBron or his allies receive a pass, they gain gray health for a few second. | This is a good perk when utilizing passes to a teammate or even in 1v1 situations, as it provides 3% worth of gray health. This is useful in minimizing damage done to you or your teammate after a pass. |
| ★★★☆☆ For Three! |
LeBron and his allies that hit enemies with a basketball from far away cause the basketball to explode, dealing damage and knockback to all nearby enemies. | This perk is only useful when tossing the basketball from a distance. However, the problem is that the projectile moves slowly, so it may miss its target. |
| Perk and Rating | Description | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| ★★★★★ Press the Advantage |
Your team applies a stack of weakened when knocking back enemies that are above 125 damage. If your teammate also selects this perk, weakaned is applied above 110 damage instead. | Having this perk is great for LeBron to increase knockbacks during finishers and ensure KOs, especially from aerial combos. |
| ★★★★★ Collateral Damage |
Your team deals 1 additional damage when knocked back enemies collide with a wall or floor. | This provides you additional damages during combos where you trigger ground bounces with your moves. |
| ★★★★☆ That's Flammable, Doc! |
For 3 seconds after knocking back an enemy with a projectile, your team can melee attack that enemy to ignite them for 2 seconds. | This perk pairs well with LeBron's Hot Hands perk, which extends the DoT after hitting the enemy with a melee attack and increases the enemy's percentage more. |
| ★★★☆☆ Pugilist |
Your melee attacks deal increased damage. | Having increased melee damage is always good to have, especially since most of LeBron's combos are melee-focused. |
| ★★★☆☆ Speed Force Assist |
You receive 5% increased base movement speed. | Provides faster movement, useful for catching up to enemies to get basketballs when you don't have one. |
| Aerial Down + Attack ► Down + Attack ► Side + Attack x3 |
|---|
This combo is a simple but a great starting point for creating additional and more complex combos for LeBron. This combo will at least deal 20 damage against opponents without using any perks.
| Aerial Down + Attack ► Down + Attack ► Side + Attack x3 ► Side + Special |
|---|
This is a continuation of the combo above but it includes a Side + Special as a finisher to send opponents with high damage flying to knock them off the map.
| Neutral + Attack ► Neutral + Special ► Side + Attack x3 ► Side + Special |
|---|
This combo requires to move forward slightly to connect the Neutral + Special and the three Side + Attacks. Executing this correctly lets you deal at least 31 damage without using any perks.
Denied! is a defensive move by LeBron that allows him to block projectiles if he isn't holding a ball. It will also let him recover his ball regardless of its cooldown if he got hit while Denied! is active.
L-Train! is a dunk move by LeBron that can deal area damage on the ground. You can also use it as a recovery move on the ledge because of its long-range.
LeBron is a strong bruiser that can deal respectable damage even when opponents are far away using his basketball as his projectile attack.
While equally home on the ground and the air, many of his moves encourage aerial combat. His L-Train Special Move, in particular, is great at launching opponents into the air and can easily set them up for a juggle combo.
LeBron's Neutral and Up Special Attacks are his main projectile moves, but a poorly timed shot will leave LeBron without a basketball. When this happens, he doesn't hit as hard and some moves may even leave him prone.
If LeBron loses his basketball, make sure to get in close and hit an opponent to regain a basketball.
LeBron can pass his basketball to allies, which will stick to them until they make a directional move. This will shoot the basketball as a projectile in the direction of the ally's attack.
This makes LeBron a great choice in team matches, especially when paired with faster characters like Bugs Bunny and Finn. Equipping the Hot Hands Perk further boosts the projectile when LeBron sucessfully completes a no-look pass.
