Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

+Spd/-Def

The best IVs for Summer Leo are +Spd and -Def. A higher Spd stat allows Summer Leo to prevent follow-up attacks against him. His Def is really low and it is not really important for him as he is a magic wall so it is safe to take as a bane.

Summer Leo Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Summer Leo Roles

Leo - Seashore's Prince Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

Summer Leo is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Summer Leo Strengths

A Red Infantry Unit with Excellent Res

With a Res of 35, Summer Leo sports one of the highest Res among all infantry units! If you are needing a magic wall in your all-infantry or mixed teams, we recommend that you consider Summer Leo!

Atk Ploy is a Strong Debuff

Atk Ploy 3 inflicts -5 Atk to enemies in cardinal directions if Summer Leo's Res is more than their Res. Summer Leo's Res is pretty high so the only think you need to worry about is positioning him properly in order to reduce the damage taken by your team.

Res Debuff After Combat

Seal Res, inflicts -7 Res to foes after Summer Leo attacks them. Because the debuff is placed after Leo's attack, he will be ready to finish them off in the enemy phase if they retaliate and Leo lands a counterattack. It can also be inflicted by Leo in the enemy phase so he will be ready to capitalize in the upcoming player phase. If he also has magic-using allies nearby, they can take advantage of this debuff as well!

Summer Leo Weaknesses

Low Def

Summer Leo's Def only sits at 16 at Lv. 40. Even though he has very high Res, physical attacks make quick work of him. Pay attention to powerful blue physical attackers that can easily take down Summer Leo.

Summer Leo Team and Counters

Teammates for Summer Leo

Brave Hector	Naga	Hardin	Legendary Hector
Julia	Myrrh	Fallen Robin (M)	Surtr

Heroes that can soak physical damage for Leo

As discussed, Summer Leo's Def is very low. It would be smart for you to pair him up with heroes that can bait and or deal with physical attackers. Some of the best options include Surtr and L!Hector as htey can also cover Leo's weakness of the blue attribute.

Summer Leo Counters

Tiki (Adult)	Fjorm	Nowi	Legendary Tiki (Young)
Fallen Berkut	Eir	Innes	Fallen Tiki (Young)

Heroes that calculate damage using the lower of Def or Res

Always be wary of your enemies' skills. You may think that Summer Leo will be safe when attacking dragonstone enemies as they cannot counterattack him and if ever they can, his Res is high enough to shrug off the damage from it.

This is not always the case as Distant Counter or built-in Distant Counter effects are very common amongst dragonstone builds. Many skills also pack an effect that calculates damage using the lower of Def or Res. In the case of Summer Leo, that would be lethat as that means exploiting his very low Def of 16.
