Rearmed Leila Skills at 5★

Arcane Sly Knife Might: 14　 Range: 2 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = 25% of foe's Atk at start of combat - 4 (min 5; max 14), neutralizes foe's bonuses to Spd/Def, deals damage = 15% of unit's Atk (including when dealing damage with an area-of-effect Special), reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit before unit's first attack during combat. Effect: 【Dagger 7】

Lethality Cooldown Count = 4 When Special triggers, treats foe's Def/Res as if reduced by 75% during combat. Disables non-Special skills that "reduce damage by X%".

Atk/Spd Finish 4 If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+7 to unit during combat, and also, if unit's Special is ready or unit's Special triggered before or during this combat, deals +5 damage during combat (except when dealing damage with area-of-effect Specials) and when unit deals damage during combat, restores 7 HP to unit. (Triggers even if 0 damage is dealt.)

Dark Perfume At start of turn, grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit, inflicts 【Undefended】 and status preventing counterattacks on closest foes through their next actions, and inflicts status preventing counterattacks on foes within 2 spaces of those foes through their next actions. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 on foe, deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd (including when dealing damage with an area-of-effect Special), and neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat. While attacking in Aether Raids, if unit ends movement on a space with a Bolt Trap or a Heavy Trap, cancels trap's effect; if unit ends movement on a space with a Hex Trap, reduces trap's trigger condition by 10 HP.

Lookout Force Enables 【Canto (2)】. When Canto triggers, enables unit to use 【Distant Swap】 on ally (this effect is not treated as an Assist skill; if similar effects are active, this effect does not trigger). If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+4 to unit and neutralizes unit's penalties to Atk/Spd during combat.

Rearmed Leila Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (10)		★★★★☆
Spd (9)		★★★★★
Def (8)		★★☆☆☆
Res (9)		★★★☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

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 Rearmed Leila are +Spd and -Def. Leila's Spd is among the highest in the game at base 48, raised to base 52 with a superboon. With her high Spd stat, Leila can outspeed most foes and create follow-up attacks through outspeeding.

Rearmed Leila's Def is her least important stat and can be safely taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Rearmed Leila up to +10 to ensure she outspeeds her foes.

Rearmed Leila Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Rearmed Leila Roles

Leila - Superb Shadow 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

Rearmed Leila is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Rearmed Leila Strengths

Arcane Sly Knife has multiple offensive effects

Rearmed Leila's inheritable Arcane Sly Knife neutralizes her foe's Spd/Def bonuses in combat and grants Leila up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+14 (based on her foe's Atk stat), bonus true damage equal to 15% of her Atk, 7 damage reduction on her foe's first attack, and Special cooldown count -1 before her first attack in combat.

While there aren't any unique effects on Arcane Sly Knife, it has multiple offensive effects that allow Rearmed Leila to heavily dent or just outright defeat her foes in combat.

Dark Perfume inflicts Undefended and Flash

Rearmed Leila's exclusive B skill Dark Perfume grants her Special cooldown count -1 and inflicts 【Undefended】 and 【Flash】 onto the closest foe(s), and 【Flash】 onto all foes within 2 spaces of those foes at the start of each turn.

In combat, Dark Perfume inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 onto Rearmed Leila's foe and grants Leila bonus true damage equal to 20% of her Spd and an offensive Tempo effect.

Dark Perfume also has a built-in Disarm Trap effect, allowing her to deactivate basic traps and reduce the trigger condition of Hex Traps in Aether Raids.

Rearmed Leila Weaknesses

Reliance on Special skipping

Rearmed Leila relies on the Special skipping effects of Arcane Sly Knife and Dark Perfume to burst down tanky foes.

Tank units with Scowl effects can neuter the bulk of Leila's damage output from Lethality and only receive minor damage from her true damage effects.
