Leonardo: Difference between revisions
(Crossbows only use Might to calculate damage, so Nolan's higher strength is irrelevant in this comparison) |

He is also bowlocked and does not have easy access to [[Bow#Crossbows|crossbows]] in Part I; on top of that, he has [[Defense|durability]] that is only slightly better than Micaiah's, so his enemy phase is nonexistent. Throughout Part I, he can only contribute physical chip damage, often less damage than Micaiah and [[Ilyana]] due to them using magic and the low [[resistance]] of the early-game enemies. | ||

His only high growths are skill, [[luck]], and resistance; in addition, to his stable [[Biorhythm]] cycle, he will at minimum have very stable and reliable [[hit rate]]s. His [[strength]] growth is merely average and his defense and speed growths are mediocre, so he will often struggle to deal damage and double without good levels. He can potentially be a decent mage-killer thanks to his good resistance growth. On the other hand, his bad 2-range offense is mitigated by his unique bow [[Lughnasadh]], available in Part III (not in the Japanese version), which is very powerful and gives him a +5 Speed boost that he desperately needs. He can also one-shot many flying units in Part III and shines against the [[Begnion]] [[Pegasus Knight]] reinforcements in Chapter 1-6. Promotion to [[Marksman]] gives him extra range which gives him a useful niche. However, he will often be promoted in Part IV where Shinon and Rolf are also Marksmen superior to Leonardo, let alone the fact that his only 1-2 range combats are weak crossbows. The main reason to bring him to the [[Tower of Guidance]] is so you can give him the Lughnasadh and have another bowman equipped with the [[Double Bow]] and/or [[Brave Bow]]. On average, he caps Skill and Resistance, and will cap Luck as a Marksman. | ||
Leonardo starts with the [[Cancel]] skill, which is mostly useless as most of his targets cannot counter him, nor should they if they have a ranged weapon. Thus, it is highly recommended to give the Cancel skill to someone else on the team immediately. He can benefit a lot from [[Adept]], but Adept is speed-based, so his activation rate will be low due to his meager Speed growths.

He desperately needs more attack, but unfortunately for him, the only units through Part I with attack-boosting affinities are Micaiah and [[Tormod]]. Both can work since they have similar backline roles and movement as Leonardo, but Micaiah has better options and Tormod is only available for a few chapters in Part I before returning extremely late in Chapter 4-4. Leonardo also has a fast support with Nolan; while it does not directly benefit Leo, Nolan gets a useful attack and defense boost that he appreciates. | ||

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Leonardo is the only initial bow user in the Dawn Brigade and joins in the very first chapter. He has good base skill and average base speed, but all of his other base stats are weak. He is also bowlocked and does not have easy access to crossbows in Part I; on top of that, he has durability that is only slightly better than Micaiah's, so his enemy phase is nonexistent. Throughout Part I, he can only contribute physical chip damage, often less damage than Micaiah and Ilyana due to them using magic and the low resistance of the early-game enemies.
Due to being a chipper, his rate of experience gain will be very low, so he needs a lot of bonus experience support. His only high growths are skill, luck, and resistance; in addition, to his stable Biorhythm cycle, he will at minimum have very stable and reliable hit rates. His strength growth is merely average and his defense and speed growths are mediocre, so he will often struggle to deal damage and double without good levels. He can potentially be a decent mage-killer thanks to his good resistance growth. On the other hand, his bad 2-range offense is mitigated by his unique bow Lughnasadh, available in Part III (not in the Japanese version), which is very powerful and gives him a +5 Speed boost that he desperately needs. He can also one-shot many flying units in Part III and shines against the Begnion Pegasus Knight reinforcements in Chapter 1-6. Promotion to Marksman gives him extra range which gives him a useful niche. However, he will often be promoted in Part IV where Shinon and Rolf are also Marksmen superior to Leonardo, let alone the fact that his only 1-2 range combats are weak crossbows. The main reason to bring him to the Tower of Guidance is so you can give him the Lughnasadh and have another bowman equipped with the Double Bow and/or Brave Bow. On average, he caps Skill and Resistance, and will cap Luck as a Marksman.
Leonardo starts with the Cancel skill, which is mostly useless as most of his targets cannot counter him, nor should they if they have a ranged weapon. Thus, it is highly recommended to give the Cancel skill to someone else on the team immediately. He can benefit a lot from Adept, but Adept is speed-based, so his activation rate will be low due to his meager Speed growths. Beastfoe and Crossbows might be doable through Part III, but a promoted Nolan makes better use of said weapons because of his higher bulk.
Leonardo has a Water affinity which gives a boost to attack and defense. He desperately needs more attack, but unfortunately for him, the only units through Part I with attack-boosting affinities are Micaiah and Tormod. Both can work since they have similar backline roles and movement as Leonardo, but Micaiah has better options and Tormod is only available for a few chapters in Part I before returning extremely late in Chapter 4-4. Leonardo also has a fast support with Nolan; while it does not directly benefit Leo, Nolan gets a useful attack and defense boost that he appreciates.
